If the philosophy out the gate with Nintendo is that the Pad will only be one per system on release, 2 max, then maybe other existing control solutions (Pro, Wiimote, etc) will be given just as much consideration in development.

I mean, so far all the multiplayer games as-is have the Pad as some asymmetric version of gameplay, while the meat-and-potatoes stuff is on older controllers. So I hope the FPS control style that the Wiimote+Nunchuk did so well can get more attention.

Also....'dat world map!

Yeah but this game is on the TV remote control

I would think this is a meat-and-potatoes game

but it sounded like it's only that way solo? I thought the multiplay forces the controller to be the platform-maker?

Yeah but I am going to play it solo and I want to use the Pro controller ;p

Yeah. You can play with other people doing the normal (stupid) Mario-Luigi-Toad-WhythefuckToad thing, and have another person using the controller. I think the version that was on show was still incomplete, so it might change. I've read that the tablet controller is usable as a controller as well, although i can't find anything really clear as to if it's the way i described it, or if you get full control of your character.

It would've been a great question to ask when the guy said "Come find me if you have questions about Wii U!" but the only thing i wanted to ask was "DRAGON QUEST DRAGON QUEST DRAGON QUEST?"
