Well, we will first need to see if the Wii U will connect to the 3DS in a similar way that the Vita connects to the PS3 and the 3DS has a processor.

I was about to post something similar. The capabilities of Vita and PS3 would be more similar to Wii U + 3DS connectivity. While there is the potential for linking the devices up, it is not going to be the same sort of experience as a Wii U controller and a Wii U game console which have a fully integrated experience.

IE:

* Can the Vita interact with the television screen the same way that the Wii U can (throwing shuriken at specific targets on the screen).

* How about the Golf game on the Wii U controller, where a Wii remote can be used to hit a ball on the Wii U screen and into the main TV screen?

 

Well, one thing that the Vita/PS3 integration has, is that at least the Vita has a proper gaming interface, unlike the Microsoft Smart Glass.


1. No, that feature uses the IR and would be hard to replicate unless using the PlayStation Eye to see the Vita and use the Vita's gyro to pinpoint the accuracy of your throws. Either way it makes more sense to use Move and Wii Motes doesn't it? Wii U wins on this front for ease of use but its nothing new.

2. Yes, the Vita could do this since it uses gyroscope to simulate this feature. In fact almost everything the Wii U does in regards to a second screen can be done by the Vita.

Are you sure? From what I understand, the Vita doesn't have a means by which a motion controller can interact simultaniously with it and the television screen. From the Golf demo, it shows that Wii Remotes can track from both the Wii U controller and the televsion; as the Wii U controller does have a means to be tracked (essentially comes with its own sensor bar).



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
