Is the controller hard to get the hang of? It was like watching a gorilla Bambi taking its first steps with all the mispresses of buttons.
Does the WiiU have forcefeedback? Did that tablet shake at all?

The thing is... who really WANTS to play on a screen that small??? It seems pointless. If you have a 42 inch TV and a small ass screen on the controller, what do you think people are going to use? -_-
@Commander x202x Well, if you have like parents, a girlfriend, children, a wife, etc that want to watch something on the TV instead of having to quite playing all together you can play it on the couch a couple of feet away while the other person watches whatever they want on the Television. Also, instead of playing split screen coop each person can have their own widescreen view of the game on 2 separate screens.
@Commander - It's probably a misguided hope, but one would think two player co-op would have two people grown up enough to take turns/share if playing on the pad was even really a problem.

To be honest, I think if you cant wait to play a game because someone is watching TV, You pretty much have an unhealthy addiction to video games. That, or you have a family that doesn't know how to share... lol

Imagine using this controller in, say, GTA V. The missions where you get a control a radio controlled car or helicopter and guide it somewhere to blow something/someone up....... Now, that would be cool! Once it blows up, you switch back to your 55" main screen.
I remain unimpressed by the WiiU and everything it has to offer.
But I'll give it a year or so after it's released to impress me.

so cool.... really glad i preordered a black wii U yesterday... might have to get a copy of blops II now as well...
@Commander The situation doesn't come up too often, but it has happened to me a couple of times and it would have really benefited from having the wiiU. Playing online CoD blops2 and your girlfriend wants to watch project runway? No problem, just switch to the controller and you'll won't have to stop.
MAN I wish Holmesie was my codblops bUD. We wud stay up all night and id pour orange soda all over his chest and arms and then when it dried up and he was all sticky and orangey id pierce his flesh with my mouth :)

I love playing local MP, and this lets me play with my bro without splitscreen cramp. The fact that this version has bots makes it worth playing local play, something that can be said of few games this gen sadly.
Hopefully local play will make a comeback...

In this house we would vastly prefer normal split-screen to one of us being in the "bitch seat" and having to use the dinky screen on the controller.
I aint wrote the Wii U off altogether yet but... this doesnt help negate the idea that the Wii U is just one big gimmick.

I`m tempted to sell my vita in order to buy a wii u. I don't even take my vita anywhere, its just for home use. So the wii u seems like a good option.

Multiplayer or not, the GamePad can suck it for games like this. I'd rather play actual split screen with a control scheme that feels amazing than have my own screen and be forced to use dual-sticks.
Sooo... How does playing in this controller feels, Holmes? Not a fan from de series, but the futurist setting of this one looks sexy.

Sorry, I know I gave up on the series after MW2 so it might be different now, but don't all the COD games utilise dual-sticks?

He means he'd prefer the Wiimote + Nunchuck combo.
@article
Even if I can't see myself playing like this, the fact that this exists is pretty neat!

I dunno, I think that being able to play one of my console games while on the crapper would be a dream come true. That alone is worth the purchase of a Wii U.

*whispers at King Sigy*: psst, it is called "copy and paste", it saves the developers a lot of time and effort to recycle assets of older games...to maximize profits...don´t tell anyone
@Mr Andy Dixon
yes!!
Lets face it i'm going to play BO2 on xbox360. I just think the demonstration shows what the Wii U is all about.
I know its sort of funny seeing COD on the small screen but when I saw it i thought "that's pretty cool".
Nintendo originally said you should be able to get the same experience whether you play on a big screen or the small one and i think this demonstrates that. Along with showing that 3rd party developers are trying to support the system (for now anyways).

it would be nice if Destructoid told people about exclusive mode that just sold me on Call of Duty game for Wii U(and first CoD since World at War).
Battle Training - mode that allows for both singleplayer and offline multiplayer(VS and co-op for 2 people) against bots. that's all i fucking wanted from a shooter on Wii U - allow me for offline multiplayer/co-op with bots where i play on gamepad and another person on TV.
that's the reason why Perfect Dark Zero is still the most played game at my place when we have group of friends - splitscreen multiplayer.
i really hope that with next Call of Duty they will allow for 4 player splitscreen on TV and 5th person on the gamepad - that would be friggin perfect.

How could the GamePad possibly seem awkward? It's a standard controller with a screen in the middle. There's literally NOTHING different when comparing this controller to a PS3 or 360 controller.

@ Pedrovay, in case you didnt notice its a lot larger than the x or p gamepads, and it could be a lot heavier too. The positioning of the analog sticks and their size could also make a difference to how it feels. A lot of people prefer playing FPS games on X360 rather than PS3 style controllers, and it might just be that the same applies to the Wii U.
I DIED! Holmes, you so crazy! I'm not the biggest COD guy, but I would probably prefer to play this on Wii U if I were going to play it at all. Really digging the limited portability the Wii U is offering. Good stuff!
