On the positive side, now that we know they are shooting for at least 2 tablet controllers per console, the extra boost in hardware will hopefully translate to the software side as well. Ideally I'd like to have 2 tablet controllers that can work independent of one another... i.e. player 1 could be playing a game on the main TV on the Wii U itself, while player 2 could be playing a simple game on the tablet's screen like the Othello game shown off at E3, or even just surfing the web or something. |
The problem isn't the fact that the Wii U can't handle more than one tablet, because it should be able to. The problem is managing two HD quality streams to two different tablets while still processing the "the most up-to-date HD images" on TV at the same time. After all, didn't Reggie/Miyamoto/Iwata say that it can support two different controllers at once after E3?
The tablets working indepently of each other sounds like a plan, but I doubt that developers will take advantage of it until Nintendo does themselves, and I doubt they will.
