Dungeon Master, Dungeon Master, Dungeon Master. In all types of scenarios and settings.
There are an incredible amount of asymmetrical possibilities. Tablet cloaked Predator vs. TV soldiers. Tablet trap-setter vs. TV spelunkers.
But what keeps coming to mind is some sort of card-flicking game. Sort of like Magic, but crossed with real-time action. So a bunch of monsters are coming towards you, you get a random shuffle of cards, and then you flick the Ice or Shield card at an incoming fireball, combine two Fire cards and then flick them at an ice monster to instantly melt it, combine the Poison card with an Area Effect card and shoot it out to cast a poison cloud, flick the Instant Hole card at the ground under a particularly nasty beast, and so on. With real-time results. I think that sounds really fun. Just like I always thought that a level-based WiiWare platforming game based on something like the swinging from the 3D Bionic Commando would have been fun.
But none of these possibilities will be realized, because publishers suck. |

@ShadowlinkOh geez, I totally forgot about the card scanning thing. I don't think Anand was talking about actual cards as you are (but rather digital cards in a game), but I could totally see a popular card game taking off on the Wii U. Look at how much is sold WITHOUT a digital reader as such. Can you imagine Magic the Gathering, or something more like Yu-Gi-Oh or a BRAND NEW Pokemon Card game that scans in and works with the Wii U, and you can SEE (possibly predetermined, possibly not) battles / actions right on your TV screen? My goodness, they're sitting on a billion dollar powder keg. |

It also has a censor bar on it... I'm sure someone can get creative with that right? maybe come out with a pen sized optical sensor and you wouldn't have to scratch up the screen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uwmaybe that can be taken to a new level with a portable sensor bar Too bad they could put a sensor bar and/or camera on the back of controller co-op level in a fps friend with controller is the sniper the guy with the tv is using motion plus/nunchuck I wouldn't mind the Wii U being able to connect to a printer for any drawing games or for printing out any screen shots. Using the camera and some software, quick data upload. Taking a picture of your credit credit to fill it out quickly. I realize nfc tech does this tooo right |
