They said at E3 that none of the launch games would.
To be honest, it gives the impression that the inclusion of the 2nd controller was an afterthought given our complaints. |
this.
also why i think the gampad takes up a decent amount of processing power. if it was really easy to have two or more gampads interact with the system it would have been added long before the complaints.

But even if it was an afterthought, the inclusion of 2 U pad requires almost no effort on devlopers behalfs, its the sort of thing that in most cases can be done over night. Naturally the 2nd pad would have the exact same input as the 1st (no effort here), the only thing they have to do is manage the ram resources; dropping frame rate for games running at 60ps, droping the screen resolution from 1080p and managing graphical degrades (anti aliasing, motion blur, textures qualit etc).
I guess because its launch everyone is just trying to get their games finished.

..other than completely change the nature of the gamplay.
the first 2 U pad game will be absolutly no sooner than 1 year after nintendo's announcement to developers that 2 gamepads are allowed. 2 years for a high quality game.
|
But why would it change the nature of the gameplay? Of course its completely dependant on the game, but with the 2 cases I mention Fifa and Zelda battle quest the gameplay should remain exactly the same. Fifa uses the Pad for more accurate passing, shooting and player management during a match. How would this change for 2 control pads? It will just provide both players this perk as opposed to one.
Equally Battle quests has people with the pad take on the role of archer, including 2 archers will make very little difference to the game.
Developers will play around with assymentric gameplay but more traditional multiplayer will still be the most dominant imo. This means providing both players with the same control options.
