PlayStation’s Cross-Controller is good but Wii U does it better

No surprise, cross-play is just a side feature. Wii U's gamepad is what that system is designed around. Personally, the area I think cross-play would do well in would be with the same kind of unbalanced multi-player the Wii U features, where one player uses the DS as normal while another player does something different with the Vita.

Yeah agree. It's just a shame that virtually every developer will ignore Cross-Controller and not many games will feature it. It's a pretty solid experience and would like to see it more.

I haven't tried it yet but it looks pretty nifty.  I think you're right, though, in that developers have so much on their table right now with so many platforms that they're trying to get done with one project as fast as they can so they can move on to the next.  Even the Wii U will probably suffer from this with a lot of gamepad functions on third party games being simple gimmicks.  It has a lot of potential, though, so I hope that first party games, at least, will have something for cross-controller functionality.
