The GamePad has a built-in Gyro sensor, and you can also use Wii Remotes.  What's worth noting is that it only can use Wii Remote Pluses (which have the MotionPlus built in) or regular Wiimotes with the MotionPlus attachment.  This means that shooters (and other motion-controlled games) will use the far-more-accurate Gyro controls instead of the pointer.

Also, if you don't like motion controls, the GamePad and Wii U Pro Controller are very comfortable and should suit you just fine.

Natsume's "Shopping Moon" (AKA Project Happiness) is confirmed for 3DS.

- Development began at the end of 2011
- Atsuko Nishida doing graphic design and illustrations
- Idea is to build up a shop, add products and customers
- Wada aiming for the simplicity of classic simulation style games
- Doesn’t want menu and command-based progression
- Wada wants to make Project Happiness so that even if your store gets big, you’ll still be able to see your character moving around, lining up product on store shelves
- Other characters will populate your story
- 30 core characters at the moment
- Start out with 10 characters
- More characters as the store gets bigger
- Choose your character’s gender
- Simple character-making component
- Can change costumes
- Access more costumes as you play
- Wada believes online/network elements are essential to games
- He wants to bring out something that makes players think, “Ahh, there’s this kind of different play style.”

Hmm, sounds ok. The trailer had some good character design too. Hope for the best on this game.
Rune Factory will give us an idea if Natsume really "got game" or if Harverst Moon success was just luck. Hope for the former.

Because the more money they get, higher chances for them to make a new Pocky & Rocky or Lufia game

Pocky & Rocky is a shooter - you know, the real hardcore type of shooter.

But instead of ships you play as two awfully cute characters. But the hellish difficult is still there.

But I'm only kidding, I don't think Natsume has any more saying in this game.

I think it's square-enix IP now, and they don't really give a crap about I think

I never knew about a case of sold ip, to be honest.

It's either the whole developer that's bought, or nothing. Licence the ip, though, that's a possibility - like 3DS Banjo games, as the GBA had.

Well, good for Wii U sales

Probably another one of the "best on Wii U" type of situations.

But it's not confirmed, but N-Gamer wouldn't be idiot for a mistake of that evel, right?

Wow, Sega Genesis sure was an amazing system for it's time right :P

Just teasing BasilZero!

(btw, I don't think epic mickey looks good - that pic does look great, but not the game from what they showed us - but definitely does it no look like "garbage" or like a "sega genesis game" like he says all the time.

To me developers became masters of 2D the day they made this, in 1996. No game survived more the test of time than these

(If anybody is upset that I'm shilling this thing, let me know.)

Who told you that? Nintendo's site clearly lists ALL Wii controllers and attachments. Plus and non plus.

From Nintendo's site, notice the OR:

Other Controllers

The Wii U console is capable of supporting two Wii U GamePad controllers, up to four Wii Remote (or Wii Remote Plus) controllers or Wii U Pro Controllers, and Wii accessories such as the Nunchuk, Classic Controller and Wii Balance Board.
