News: Reggie Says Wii U Is
Posted 07 Jul 2011 at 01:30 by Joshua Phillips
Reggie Fils-Aime believes the Wii U will not be hard to sell to consumers with its innovative and exciting features.
Reggie believes that with the new controller and exciting online possibilities, Wii U will not be a hard sell. He also believes that it will be easy to explain Wii U to people, despite the confusion caused at this years E3.
"What we are doing with Wii U is creating an ability for games to leverage two different screens; the big screen in your room, and the smaller handheld screen in front of you. By doing so it opens up all of these different experiences."
Reggie then went onto explain the concept of Wii U using an example of a first person shooter and how the new controller can really add to the experience.
"The experience I use to describe it to someone is to imagine a first person shooter, where instead of constantly having look at the screen, now I've got things happening all around me. It's a great experience. I don't think it's going to be a hard sell. I think that communicating to consumers through the magic of the second window, you can have a totally unique experience, with another player still in the room... I don't think it's a difficult sell."
What do you make of Reggie's comments? Do you think he is right in thinking Wii U won't be a difficult sell or was the confusion seen at E3 a sign of things to come when the Wii U releases?
