Yeah, it looked like they made a point of emphasizing Wii Remote Plus for multiplayer games.

Regardless, Classic Controller Pro works fine and has the same button layout (minus the touch screen).

when I first saw it I was entertaining the idea of everybody getting their own screen. that would have been cool.

Sure, but it would be pretty taxing on the hardware to run five simultaneous displays.

Miyamoto has mentioned connecting the 3DS and using that as a controller as well.

Between the Wii U pad, 3DS, Wii Remote Plus+Nunchuck, Classic Controller Pro, and Balance Board I don't think Wii U owners will go wanting for input options.

the problem here jason, is the wii u controller looks neat, obviously.

how do you determine who uses

my hope is that they'll figure out a way to have 2 connected. that would be nice

Miyamoto has said they're exploring the option of two controllers, but he has not once mentioned anything about three or four.

From interview:
Q: Will players use two touchscreen controllers or will they use just one new controller and the original Wii controls with the new console?

Miyamoto: Our basic premise is that you can use one with a system. If we got to an idea of having multiple (controllers) it might be just more convenient for people to use their Nintendo 3DS and have a way to connect that.

That being said, we are doing research about if someone brings their controller to their friends house and they want to play together on Wii U to whether or not something like that would be possible.

That would be extraordinarily gay

I know for a fact that if I'm playing with a friend and he gets to use the slick new controller in cool innovative ways, I wouldn't want to sit around with some shitty wiimote

I think Miyamoto probably has something in mind for local multiplayer/party games. That's been a facet of Nintendo consoles since they put four controller ports on the Nintendo 64.

I think Wii U/3DS Smash Bros is going to be awesome. I can't wait for Brawl to hit $20, need to play that more. Also, do fucking want Skyward Sword.

I wish Nintendo would focus the energy put into OoT3D into an original Zelda game on the 3DS

I agree entirely, but Ocarina 3D looks pretty fucking awesome right about now.

The fact that they included a bossrush-type mode and Master Quest means I will be spending a lot of time with it.

I'm really tempted to get a 3DS at Christmas... Mario, Star Fox, Ocarina, and Mario Kart... solid. I can almost guarantee a one or two game bundle for $249 come the release of the Vita. And unless Sony can bring a masterful launch, it'll be crushed.

I don't think Vita has a chance in hell at beating the 3DS.

In fact, I don't see Vita doing as well as PSP (though I think it'll sell well enough).
