Who wouldn't want to see Starcraft II on this thing?

Sure it would be much better than a controller, but it would still be extremely clunky and slow.  People seem to always forget that RTS games (and various other PC centric genres) are just as much about having a keyboard with dozens of hotkeys as having mouse control.  Not to mention using your finger or a stylus is still a pretty awful substitute for a mouse, and that's ignoring the fact that a mouse has multiple buttons as well.

You could probably make an adequate single player campaign designed with the WiiU controller in mind, but I wouldn't want to play multiplayer on it.


I dunno man, one of the best things avout starcraft is that there is multiple places to actually press to do an action, you've got hotkeys, actual pictures to press on, mini map, arrow keys, and that's what makes playing competitive so fun, multiple styles able to duke it out.  And back before it was shut down there was a starcraft port being made on homebrew for the DS, I played it, the concept does work and feels quite natural to me.  This is also coming from a guy that was playing Starcraft II pretty seriously for a while, I'm a casual Starcraft player at heart, that's the way I was with the original, cause I'm better than most people I know except for my friend/constant partner, and I think it's a brilliant idea.  

Basically don't knock it till you've tried it man, there are some light RTS elements in a few DS games already you could give those a go, though I must admit they aren't up to Blizzard calibur
