You can play Starcraft II with a wacom tablet if you want.  It is a poor substitute for a mouse and keyboard.  Starcraft isn't really the ideal game for this.  It's too fast and has too much micromanagement.  You could certainly make it functional, but it would likely result in gameplay that is basically select all and attack move.

A better choice would probably be something like total war that is slow and deliberate.


The same case could have been made about duel analogs and FPS's. The are a poor substitute for mouse and keyboard.

Seriously for the people defending the fact that it would be nice to be on wiiU or any console for that matter, are you guys joking lol you need a keyboard there's WAY too many commands to do.


you can easily play the entire campaign with just the mouse. Sure for high level play you need a high APM and tons of hots keys but thats not the point. Most people do not play at that level, even though I have played starcraft 2 more than any game in my life except for perhaps brood war I still see a huge amount of value in a wii u version of starcraft in some capacity. 


Dude in multiplayer I was only in Gold, yet I can't imagine playing with only a mouse LOL!

If this were to happen, would people stop labeling the pad as a gimmic? 


LOL Do you know how many button commands would be needed to make starcraft work on console? They would need a Keyboard.  


The pad makes it really possible on a console for the first time. However, you guys are missing the question. Would haters still label the pad as a gimmic? 


The move can do RTS but no one is talking about that. To play Starcraft the way its meant to be played you need a mouse and keyboard. Plain and simple.

And shooters were also meant for mouse and keyboard. That didn't stop shooters from going to consoles. Yes you can use move for RTS games. You can also use a wii mote and duel analogs. None of them are a better option than the pad.

And I think shooters play wrong with dual analog. Success and best fitting control scheme seemingly don't go always hand in hand. I also would say, a Wiimote is great for shooters and in combination with the stick on the Nunchuk for movement even superior to keyboard and mouse (where you move with wasd). But only a few shooters were made for Wii.

I got to platinum 1's and masters 2's using nothing but mouse.(had to  use keyboard to get to diamond/masters 1's though) Micro is a ton more important that most people realize. Regardless, as I said before, the wii u version would be plenty more accesable than any other console rts ever and while it still would not offer the same functionality of the mouse+keyboard it would be plenty deep enough to enjoy it on its own. 

For the record, I agree that the mouse and keyboard is far superior for starcraft, but I fail to see how that diminishes the amount of fun possible on a Wii U version (that will never happen anyway... :P ) .

But the PS3 could do this, or PS4 if it supports it:

Playstation Move.

What? Explain yourself.

Ok...

Obviously the PS3/4 don't have screens on their pads to play the game with, but it's not like when playing the game on your PC you touch the monitor to interact with it, you use a mouse which is seperate to the monitor.

Now, take what I've just said, and replace monitor with tele/TV, or keep it as monitor if you use consoles on your monitor... and replace mouse with Playstation Move, since it's a seperate device used to control what happens onscreen... just like a mouse! And you can "point and click" faster than with a Dualshock controller too... so it'd obviously work better.

...Does that explain what I mean?

why people are always so complicated?

we just need a dualcontrol interface=having the possibility to chose between standard controller and playing the game with a mouse on consol.

or simply release a game just to be used with a mouse on console.Almost everyone owns a mouse.As there are games for kinect-move only crap there also should be games only to be played with a mouse.

It would suit the Wii U about as much as it would suit a tablet.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Not true. FPS titles are completely controlable with a gaming controllers thanks to analog sticks. No one cares whether its best on PC, because to the majority it feels right on a controller. I hate to break it to you but PC gamers are the minority now where FPS is concerned. Competitively speaking its nowhere near equal where RTS is concerned. The amount of button commands I saw my roommate doing and another friend in this game and they claim they arent as fast as some eastern European and Korean SC2 players. Thats insane.

An RTS on the Wii U would be awesome, but I highly doubt that Starcraft 2 will ever come to the Wii U.


exactly i have been saying the wii u is the perfect console for RTS since the day it was annouced
