Wii U offers 'deeper gameplay experiences'

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has claimed the Wii U will offer deeper gameplay experiences to other consoles.

Iwata delivered a message in Nintendo’s annual report where he spoke of how unique Wii U will be.

He said: “Wii U has a new controller named the Wii U GamePad with a 6.2-inch touchscreen. With the combination of the Wii U GamePad and a TV screen, players can enjoy gameplay that takes advantage of two screens whose positional relationship is not fixed.”

Satoru also addressed how multiplayer gaming would be different.

He added: “Also, for multiplayer games, Wii U makes asymmetric gameplay possible, which means the role of a player using the Wii U GamePad is different from the other players using the conventional Wii Remote controllers.

“In this way, we will propose deeper game experiences and new entertainment that people have never had the opportunity to enjoy before.”

Wii U will launch later this year.
