The Wii U is the perfect opportunity to bring multiplayer to the next level

[gumby_trucker]

for me the real highlight is not increasing the number of players (I barely get 4 people together as it is) but rather the possibilities of asymmetrical multiplayer.

There are so many wonderful possibilities here, I really hope the industry tries to realize them to their fullest extent.
For example, an old pc game allowed 8 players to connect via lan and together man a B-17 bomber! pilot, navigator, bomber, gunners and all!
That's the kind of multiplayer I'd like to see on Wii U!

edit: this also goes hand in hand with offering unique experiences that can only be had on Wii U, as was mentioned in Rol's other thread  this thread:
