Ron Gilbert - Devs don't know how to utilize Wii U GamePad
"The Wii U is very interesting… What we experienced with the Wii U is probably what a lot of developers experienced with the Wii U, which is, 'What do we do with it?' It was this really neat secondary controller that has a screen and you can do different things on it. When I talked to my friends who were designing games for the Wii U, its like, 'We don't quite know what to do with it'.
"We know there's something really cool here, and what you're probably gonna see is a lot of developers just trying a whole lot of different things. And it'll probably be about a year before you start to see games just completely nail exactly what that controller is for. It's just a little bit of time and a little bit of experimentation that a lot of developers are going to go through with that controller." - Ron Gilbert
Hopefully Nintendo will show off some unique ideas today, which will inspire third party devs into trying some of their own approaches to the GamePad.
