So now that the Wii U has been revealed and that it In fact has the ability to stream to a separate screen lets start speculating shall we ;)

Do you guys remember the revolution? Of course you do lol

Do you remember the “On” video that it was rumored to be? How can anyone forget that?

Anyway this is it! Nintendo will reveal a head set for the Wii U aimed at core gamers. The ability to just move around your head and look at the environment is what will make this amazing! It would be as if you are in the game and instead of using a pointer or analogue stick to move your view, you just move your head!

This headset with the WiiMPlus controller and nun chuck will produce the most immersive FPS games ever! This is a dream come true guys!

The technology is there! And the audience is there as well so there is no reason not to do it.

I want Metroid with this!

so what do you guys think?

When you say headset, are you talking about some kind of VR helmet?

If you mean a peripheral that allows you to attach the WiiU tablet to your head, then I wouldn't count on it... It's possible the games will still work if you make your own but I don't see anything beyond that.

Why do you need a headset? You have headphones and a microphone included in the controller... oh wait, you don't mean that.

lol I was going to write that next xD your head would fall off (controller weight exagerated)

Something like that can be done, even 3D, VirtualBoy resurrected. Will they make it a controller down the line? Before I would have said no (it was backwards to their thinking), but with all the focus on solo gameplay (one U controller) this solitary VR could be an option.

With 3rd party controllers, this could happen even if Nintendo doesn't move forward with the head mounted display idea.

After they made a big deal about glasses free 3D, I don't see them doing this.

yes that is what i meant, updated the thread title :P

pass on that weed, i wanna see what you are seeing.

exactly!

Imagine star fox were you can look around you by moving your head right/left and using the WiiMote as a joystick to go up/down/left/right like a real plane. You won’t need the nunchuck in this game.

A racing game would use the Wiimote as they do already but now you can look around you.

Metroid or any other FPS/A would be awesome and done with fluid movements. Strive with the stick and aim with Wiimote. You do not need the pointer anymore as you have WMplus built in it so it will know where you point without the censorbar just like in Zelda SS.

Imagine the sound that is coming all around you. Use your ears to find people, hidden things that are making sounds or just someone sneaking up on you from behind or a zombie in the room on your left. You will be able to hear everything as if you are there.

I truly believe that if Nintendo wants the hardcore gamer they will do this!

And the thing about 3D glasses well that is a different thing as you have to consider buying for everybody who wants too play. For this device it is only for that one gamer as this will not be playable if you have many people in the same room.   

you can still do that on TV if you want too or even play with the person like you would while they have the WiiUPad

that would be pretty awesome, but would really impractical and one would look really fugly while wearing it.
