Yes I have looked at ZombiU of course but unfortunately Zombie games are ten a penny, gimmicks won't change that. Red steel was a first person shooter with Wii motion controls.....the game was shit and the controls didn't increase immmersion whatsoever. I looked to Nintendo's first party offerings to keep me interested at their conference and all I got was Nintendoland and a upscaled wii version of Pikmin. 

Okay dude, you're out of whack. First of all, ZombiU =/= Red Steel. Did you watch both videos?? A great amount of effort was put into making the survival horror more immersive.

The "gimmicks" you mention are not gimmicks, they have a dedicated purpose, to increase immersion in a genre that desperately requires it (survival horror). What you see as a gimmick, real gamers (sorry you deserve it) see it as a real added value to a game. See this article from Kotaku:

Even if Zombie games are ten a penny, good ones are rare as diamonds.
