Gearbox and SEGA have come out to announce officially that Aliens: Colonial Marines is "being prototyped and considered for the Nintendo Wii U" and that work for the Wii U version is currently "under construction by a dedicated research and development branch within the studio."
In case you didn't know, Aliens: Colonial Marines will see you perform Xenocide with movie-inspired weaponry on the surface of LV-426, the USS Sulaco, and Hadley's Hope.
An obvious implementation would be a motion sensor of sorts, although that would probably mean you would have to look down on the screen, only to see that a Xenomorph is right around the corner. If so, let's hope we learn to look up at the TV again when it is actually eating our face.

That would actually make the feature better in my opinion. It would both add suspense to the gameplay by forcing the player to momentarily divert his attention and discourage constant radar use (which would also add suspense).
cause that MIGHT give us either a time frame for the wii-U. or atleast a general idea of when to expect it
