this will only be a short blog as i only want to talk about one thing and that's the Wii U controller not supporting multitouch. i'll understand if this was 5 years ago before the introduction to multitouch displays and the pinch to zoom feature was a killer feature for any device and now it's become such a common thing to have on a multitouch screen and it astounds me that nintendo have chosen to take the multitouch capabilites out of the wii U to save money.
I'm gonna say that they aren't saving much money as they could easily intergrate into the controller and a few extra hours work behind a computer screen typing lines of code.
think of the killer features that first and third party developers could use the functionailty of the multitouch displays. just think how easy it could be browsing the internet with the full capable multitouch gestures, you don't have to go into any submenus just so you can zoom in. looking at the nokia N900 that doesn't have multitouch display, if you have a looked at the way you zoomed in a web page, it was quite shocking, the way you zoomed in and out is tap the screen and then rub your finger in a circular clockwise to zoom in and anti clock wise to zoom out.
as i said it's only a short blog and i just wanted to get my opinion out there.
