It's like the guy said in the conference, the Wii U controller is the Swiss Army Knife of controllers. I love all the amount of options that are present, and I'm even more excited to see how devs will use them in their games. ^_^

If it's the Swiss Army Knife of controllers, can it play a game like Metroid Prime 3 without having to aim with analog stick (or slider, pad or whatever they're calling it)?
