i think there's a lot of untapped potential for the wii u controller, I'd like to see a 1st person shooter that lets you just use the screen to aim and turn using the gyroscope motion controls, so that you're only looking at the controller screen, could be really cool and immersive.
Also, the touch screen could make RTS games properly comfortable for the first time on a console, something like Total War or Command and Conquer except built from the ground up on wii u.
Anyway, these are the first things I thought when I heard about the Wii U, thought we'd have some games like that announced by now.
the combat looks really fun, the puzzle solving and menus look like they'll want to be streamlined a bit, looks great though I'm really looking forward to it
@Neram any zelda game they make always turns out brilliant, even if it seems like they are making big, dangerous changes it will still likely be the best game you'll play all year. Please have some faith, it's these kind of comments that slow down innovation and can make a franchise go stale (not that it's even nearly there yet imo)
@Longforgotten I think that the reviewer missed the point a little bit with this, the stealth is still totally excellent, I played the whole game stealthily and kicked myself when I was caught and had to shoot people. They haven't watered down the stealth, just made it so you have more options than that, it's 8.5/10 in my book, 9/10 if they manage to patch in the local co-op.

This looks awesome but the last time I got back into Total War, I barely slept for 3 weeks, that is dangerously addictive gaming
