Gearbox president says Wii U gamepad is the “best controller Nintendo has ever given us” for hardcore games
Speaking about their upcoming game Aliens: Colonial Marines, Gearbox Software President Randy Pitchford had quite a few nice things to say about the Wii U gamepad…
“This is the best controller Nintendo’s ever made for making an FPS. This is the best controller Nintendo has ever given us for playing hardcore games. [It’s] perfect for Aliens.”
He went on to talk about how the Wii U is “similar” to Xbox’s SmartGlass and the Playstation 3 connection to Vita, but also how Nintendo committed much more thoroughly on the promise of asymmetrical gameplay…
“With the Wii U they committed themselves to this promise. So the link is direct, fast and immediate. Things like SmartGlass and Vita, they appreciate the value of the promise so they’re making the promise. But they’re not in with such commitment.”
