Terraria Wii U - TV/GamePad splitscreen, console parity and more

Coming from a Nintendo Life interview with 505 Games producer Dean Scott...

"We take full advantage of the touch interface,. You can touch to build, or use the bottom screen as a map. It enables us to provide a seamless transition to the Wii U platform. Unique to this platform is this ability to have split screen across devices. We make the most of having an extra screen."

- one player can play on the TV and another can play on the GamePad screen at the same time
- allows for 4-player local and 8-player online
- have four players in one family join four players from another family in the same online world
- original Wii Remote supported in split screen
- content parity with the other console versions, which is at version 1.2.4
- this includes everything up to fishing
