I'd make half the screen for key binds and the other as a mouse tracker, rotating the analog stick selects a tech branch holding ZL/ZR highlights actions to be performed within tech branch selected.
EDIT: Kind of beaten.
There'll almost certainly be a Colors! U on the eShop, but the printer functionality wouldn't be necessary as long as you can export your drawings to a computer.
The 50/50 screen might be problematic though since it's not multitouch. You would have to consciously raise all the other fingers if you use the mouse tracking. That's why I made it switch between one and the other by pressing a trigger or shoulder button
I can almost imagine it, if they wanted they could make it work, but after D3 on consoles kinda fell through will they do it. Would be a good local multiplayer game where the players can look at the Tablet and the watchers see everything unfolding on the TV.
Still feel actiony RTS like that are a bit too much though, stuff like Civ, Anno, Tropico, Paradox RTS though could see a huge lift. Will RTS be the "new FPS" this generation? That and Adventure games really suit touch control the most. (*HINT* Nintendo release Visual Novels again jeez, WiiU Detective Club m(_ _)m I'll bring this up in every WiiU thread haha)

Yeah, too bad the screen won't be able to register pressure or angle...

That would have been a ,casual'-title that would have gotten my attention and made sense with the controller.
Instead: karaoke...

Wii U should run Wii games in HD.

See, I was imagining playing with a stylus and resistive screens don't suffer from false registering like capacitive do. you can make slight contact with the screen without it assuming your trying to press it.
!I'm also assuming you're playing the game on the game pad with the TV showing the full map and zooming in on point of interest.

I'm pretty down with Nintendoland. I'm not saying I'm going to play the hell out of it, although I'm sure it'll be used for some multiplayer nights with friends. But I'm down with the possible philosophy behind it. I think I read on this forum some time ago that Nintendoland is Nintendo's way to introduce casual players to the 'core' Nintendo franchises. That is in line with the idea that Nintendo wants to mold both casual and core markets together into one big army of Nintendo fans. Nintendoland, at launch, is the first step in getting casual gamers familiar with the Nintendo franchises, such as Mario, F-Zero, Zelda, Donkey Kong, etcetera.
It is also for that reason that I think bundling the game with the Wii U is an absolute must. That way, everyone buying the Wii U will play it. I'm also not opposed to the idea of bundling the Wii U with a download code for Nintendoland. That way almost everyone will know the way to Nintendo's eshop the second they play their first Wii U-game.
I hope Nintendo takes this route. Would be very smart indeed.

Don't you rag on karaoke, I think Karaoke Joysound is my most used "game" on Wii, maybe MH Tri challenges that.
I'm probably the only person in the west hoping Joysound bring over a real Karaoke game this time (last had only shitty midi samples) and they're probably guaranteed to. This Sing thing for the west though, is Singstar still a thing?
Well, there's always that skit with the hipster and OctoG123 where interaction was immediate.

Sorry, I meant that people could be turned off by the cutesy style.
I think themes, especially user-made tradeable themes, would be awesome. Nintendo generally has a theme that they stick to, though. Man, this would be like the greatest company ever if they embraced user content more. :|
Actually, it'd be also cool if each game had its own Miiverse theme. That way the game you're playing has a consistent feel with the environment you're discussing it in. This sounds more like something that Nintendo might consider.
D3 on consoles didn't fall through. They've always said they were exploring the idea but are not actively developing a console version. So it's neither a lost cause nor officially going on. It might be announced any day--or not.
(Kinda like Valve does things lol)oh, right. stylus. lol ... totally forgot about that thing

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
That's only if you buy the non-specific action-figure WiiU accessory.

It would be pretty damn tight if Nintendoland theme changed on special days like halloween and holidays..Instead of particles it starts snowing everywhere, and christmas lights and trees all over the place. Halloween would have jackolatetns and stuff. But none of this would work if it wasnt a pack in because then itll be limited to who has it instead of the whole WiiU/Miiverse/Nintendoland community.

Is it worth it buying a super cheap Classic Controller now? Will it work with all games on the WiiU, or are there extra buttons on the new Pro? I know there's probably L3 & R3 :\

like the PS3 ran PS2 games in HD?
It will not work with ANY Wii U game as a primary input. Maybe for some multiplayer stuff if you're lucky. It will be compatible but it's not clear if that means only for Wii games or if you can use them for multiplayer Wii U titles that don't use L3/R3. I highly doubt that, though.
I would bet quite a bit of money that are wrong about that, especially with games like Black Ops 2 and Assassin's Creed 3.
Nintendo didn't specify them as multiplayer controllers, they flat out said they were for gamers who prefered a more classic gaming experience with certain third party games.
I've got some nostalgia for the Naruto GNT games and was searching for the last one on wii but found it was only released in Japan and more problematic really expansive when it's not out of stock. It is from 2010, quite long for a naruto game.
So it woul be great to have a successor to the serie on wiiu, seems the mechanics were changed with the last game and takara tomy would be forced to upgrade the engine now...

You are talking about the Wii U Pro Controllers.
ScreenSplitter and I are talking about Wii Classic Controllers.

While new buyers universally get HD TVs, a substantial portion of potential customers still have old television sets. I still do, and one of my two local gaming buddies does. Heck, I bought him a VGA to A/V converter box for his birthday last month, in fact!
ok did i miss something or is this a Gaf exclusive rumor? lol who said that this stuff won't work on other games?

Hes talking about Wii cc not WiiU Pro Controller

Hell, at least the WiiU runs Wii games.
Eh, I guessed as much. I'll still be able to use it for Virtual Console games, particularly the Gamecube ones . Seems better than buying the Wii U Classic Controller which will undoubtedly add the price of a game onto launch day monies spending.
Wii Classic Controller, not Wii U Pro Controller!
The CC for Wii lack functionality (2 buttons) and unless they are explicitly supported by the game in question, you can safely assume that they will not work with Wii U games. Common sense, is all.
these:
Wii Classic Controller (top) / Classic Controller Pro (bottom)
not this one
Wii U Pro Controller
u should follow that advice yourself buddy. again, where was it said that this would be the case that CC won't work with current Wii U games? if it happens ok, life goes on (at least with some of us anyway by the way your going on and on about it) but i'm not gonna listen to assumption, especially from some of you people.
Yeah i've read that but i'm sure you know Blizzard is accustomed to such announcements in their history, without customers actually witnessing concrete results in the form of titles available on shelves in the end
(and btw, i much prefer Westwood than Blizzard for RTS, nah ! )
)I don't see how you can assume they will work unless clearly supported by the devs when they lack two inputs?
Doesn't make any sense to me. Of course I'm speculating but there isn't really much room for different interpretations.
You'd just have to buy the HDMI to analog converter add-on.

So it'll pretty much be like YouTube comments?
People with HDTV's vastly outnumber people without HDTV's and it'll be even more skewed as time goes on. This move would be good for Nintendo's finances, which aren't doing too hot. I hope PS4/720 do the same thing.
what does inputs have to do with anything?

How would you be able to control a game with a controller that lacks the inputs for it?
err ... because they're buttons? for a video game they are kind of important?
Classic Controllers don't have clickable sticks. For something like Call of Duty and tons of other games those are very important. They're missing two buttons that are now unique to the GamePad and Pro Controller. That's all we've been talking about in these last posts.

Inputs = buttons.
I'm pretty sure the clicky sticks would also be used on some games.
Wii Classic and Classic Pro = Wii games and games with little buttons.
Wii U CC = Blops 2

HDTV isn't standard in my country (Belize) at all. People would be surprised how many don't have HDTVs.
omg, seriously dude? i don't want to even hear your crappy reasoning. now it just sounds like your saying: "i'm not gonna play Call of Duty with the Wii CC or CC Pro."
what are you his Yesman?
Now I'm curious. Can you explain how you would play a game that requires 12 (4 face buttons, 4 shoulder buttons/triggers, start & select, left stick click & right stick click) buttons instead of 10 on a Classic Controller (4 face buttons, 4 shoulder buttons/triggers, start & select)?
I honestly don't get why you're so adamant about this being nonsense unless you're just pulling my leg.
Exclusive infothe Wii U printer !fake huh, of course !
[sorry, i couldn't resist]
Wii U on par with Game Boy confirmed!

I think he's just saying that if a game is made for the Wii U Gamepad or Wii U Pro Controller, and if the game uses stick buttons, then the Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro won't be able to fully control the game unless the software was specifically made to recognize the older controller and assign buttons differently to it.
i'm adamant? dude you're basically starting a fire because the CC controllers don't have clickable sticks. the same whining and crying that went on that made Nintendo change the default Wii U controllers (primarily the Gamepad because we knew nothing of the Pro Controller at the time) to have clickable sticks. but you're right, why am i even responding to you. it's obvious you didn't get enough attention when you were a child

Err... yea okay, I'll get out of this conversation then. This will only lead to bad things ...
