well this is the first time a saw this kind of control scheme especialy this one on wii u...maybe you could post some videos

This can work well with surround sound. Imagine looking at a parade and hearing a commotion coming from the back and being able to move with the game-pad to the sound's location to see what is happening.

This could also work well in scary scenarios in horror-survival games. Imagine playing in a scenario where your character is under a gigantic well and hanging on to a swinging rope and needs to climb out quickly because monster are chasing you from every angle (there could be cliffs where monsters can come out of the well's side) besides the opening of the well. The TV screen can be the opening of the well and moving the gamepad screen away from the tv screen shows the different angles of the well. So although you're staring straight at the TV from where you're sitting or standing your character is actually looking up at the well's opening, so pointing the gamepad behind you is the same as staring down the well and pointing the gamepad to the left or right shows the well's sides (trying doing this with a laptop)!. This with surround sound would be pretty cool.

Imagine a character running off your screen onto the TV. You have to line the two perspectives up side by side or one over the other perfectly first or else you can die :)

O_o

This would be really good with arcade racing games where the gamepad screen is a driver's first person view and the TV screen is the track he is going through.

Nvm my idea wouldn't work that well. The gamepad would block the TV and both screen practically shows the same thing. Your idea is better and i think i misinterpreted it.

Yes It's insane... why can people see it..  Panorama view = Virtual Reality

If the upad is hold in a fixed position in front of the head.. You can look around.. That's VR..

I think nintendo knows this.. :) And planing a headset version of the upad (offcourse no touch and buttons)

They probably do a "speciel gameseries" like GH, buzz and singstar..  Mayby like this.. :)

Has been serving up panoramic videos on the iPad for about a year. Other than that there are a number of first-person perspective games which utilize a gyroscope to control the camera. You might include any number of augmented reality apps/games on various platforms.

cool i see a lawsuit comin hehe

but still this as i know is geting no attention at all why ? are ppl maybe borred just looking around i would buy this in an instant

This was announced last year when the console was first announced. They even had a demo that used it. I would imagine Nintendo developed it way earlier though. They did start work on the Wii U in 2007.

That is the whole point, which was demonstrated whilst lock picking. It ads an element of surpise. it becomes a survival horror not a fps.

Yeah, I know it's the whole point of the game. That is why I don't want to play it. I'll stick to Left 4 Dead thank you very much. Survival horror worked fine with RE back in the day so it's not like you need to hold up a second screen to get scared or surprised. I just hope my favorite Nintendo games like 3D Mario, Zelda, and Metroid don't get gimmicky. It was bad enough that they all had motion controls this gen, and I was hopeing that since the WiiPad has everything that a normal twin stick controller has we would finaly get the controls we missed on the Wii. I don't like motion controls, and I don't want to hold up a second screen to do what an joystick can already do. I want classic controls, forever, that's it.
