Wii U gameplay idea's, mock-ups and concepts. (Image heavy!)

[ianh05]

let's be creative now people, we have already seen examples today at E3 such as inventory, sniper scope, scanners and radars so what other unique uses could this new controller have?

here's a template you can use to illustrate:

Just cut out the pics and replace them to show off your idea. You can also just cut out the controller and drag it up over the screen to illustrate cameras, scanners etc.

here's mine...

Tank game:
*Full 360 degree panoramic view of inside the cockpit of your tank.
*Touch screen control panel interface allows you to press the actual shiny (and sometimes big and red) buttons instead of buttons on your gamepad.


(This could be huge for flight sims game too.)

Pokemon game:
*Gamepad acts as your inventory.
*Selecting most items for you inventory opens a "mini-game" for you to use the item.
*Item uses include: sliding pokeballs along the screen towards the tv to catch/release pokemon and having a pokedex that you can use to identify on-screen pokemon.



my example of a where's wally game:

you'd have to find him amongst a crowd and take photo's of him It could have high scores where accuracy (how close to the center of the image he is) and how fast you found him increase your score. you could play with 2 players each using a different Wii U gamepad you could have player constantly moving around in the crowd sort of like an active hide and seek game.



other examples:

Metal gear solid Wii U:

have your communication device in your hands while playing the game.

Features:

*Rumble function while volume is on mute.
*Call in-game characters.
*Call monitoring, don't like a certain character? then don't answer.
*Text messaging for the socially awkward.
*3 built-in mini-games: Snake, Snake-man and Snake invaders.

Can the screen be a touch screen?  This is an idea I got after playing Okamiden and Okami.  Let's have the best of both worlds; an Okami game on the silver screen where it was meant to be, but with the proper drawing capabilities of the DS version.  Alternatively the controller screen could toggle between map and menu.

You could use the Wii U for smacking your head against for the simple gumption that they think they could release such tat.

Hey, don't knock it 'til you've tried it- that's what everyone thought about the original Wii, and that became popular all over the World. Personally, I'm quite interested in seeing how it's going to turn out.

nintendo's always been the family company, not aimed purely at hardcore gamers like playstation and xbox. That'll never change so you will get games aimed at families and a younger audience but now they are bringing games to the Wii U that may attract hardcore gamers like ZombiU and major titles like AC3 and ME3, it gives gamers a 3rd choice of console with some different games along with some favs.

yup, it's a touch screen.

*3 built-in mini-games: Pac-man, Pong and space invanders.

Finally, something demonstrating a reasonable view of Nintendo. Well found, frezal.

Nintendo seem to be trying to be the first to make these innovative control interface ideas...That's the only thing they can really do at the moment, since their game development is down the crapper.

[Badger]

It doesn't help that I hate every platformer involving Mario, I'm not a fan of Mario Kart, and I CBA to try Zelda, let alone buy a console just for it.

Oh, and apparently, the Wii U hardware will be the same as the current gen 360/PS3. If so, this is another huge fail.

Nintendo are going bust, trust me. It will sell very poorly outside the Nintendo fanbase because the Wii was so terrible.

[Incredirobotwars]

I'm not so sure about that. The Wii U has the innovative control interface, as well as the more hardcore third-party games that the Wii lacked. Against the other current consoles, it's an improvement, but not neceessarily better. But, since Microsoft won't realistically release another console until about 2015, and Sony aren't releasing one yet, it'll be the next big 'sale-craze', presuming people are a bit more open-minded about it.

Eh, don't know how you'd manage that, unless you can somehow fit pieces of modern technology into your arse-

The Wii U will do fine. Here's why:
-Nintendo Exclusives

-It comes out at least a year ahead of Sony and Microsoft's next offerings

-Offers an experience you can't get anywhere else

-Backwards compatible with the highly successful Wii and Wii accessories

It may not do well with the teenagers who are too focussed on trying to seem more "adult", but it'll do well with families, non-gamers, and us older people who don't care about indulging our inner child.
