| sethnintendo said: I believe they have a Wii U sports already in the works (early demo was probably part of the E3 demonstration on the controller abilities). Not sure how they are going to package their controllers. If they are still going to rely on the Wiimote along with the Wii U controller then you would think they would perhaps have to include both in the system. Wii U Sports should be a given considering how much success they had with the previous two. |
Yeah, I'd be surprised if they don't do another Wii Sports. But what I meant is, hopefully they're working on a game that does for the tablet controller what Wii Sports did for the Wiimote: as soon as you see it, you "get" it. I think replicating the Wii's success is competely out of the question at this point, though. From what Nintendo has said in the past about the price they're looking at, it sounds like they may have given up on the expanded audience altogether (maybe the trouble the 3DS ran into has made them reconsider). Plus the Wii sold to a lot of moms and other non-gamers on the basis that they'd like their kids to do something other than sit there and gawp at the screen while playing video games, and people generally like the idea of exercising without exercising. I'm just not sure how a tablet that doesn't function outside of the house (possibly even within the house, depending on how far away from the Wii U you can go with it) is going to go over with that crowd.
If anybody could pull off such a thing, it's probably Nintendo. Their IPs will guarantee them a respectable market share no matter what. I just think they have a tough row to hoe.
