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)?

I suppose they could use the touch screen as the aiming reticule, but you're right in that the lack of a IR pointer in the controller is a bummer. But with the console also supporting the WiiMote... there's no telling what they could do.

Now we have to wait another year to find out...

Maybe you'll be able to plug the wii remote in the new controller. I thought that's what they were doing for that "shooter" game with the new zapper (new controller as display, wiimote in zapper to point and shoot)
