Want a zombie horde at your fingertips? You've got it. Nintendo just took the lid off the multiplayer mode for Ubisoft's third-person zompocalypse shooter ZombiU, and like that console's best offerings, it plays to the Wii U's major strength.
It sounds like a no-brainer that Nintendo should add a second tablet-like gamepad to the new Wii U video game console that it will introduce later this year. But at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) video game trade show, the Japanese company hasn't shown two gamepads working with a Wii U machine.
The Electronic Entertainment Expo press events are over. Sony, EA, Microsoft, Ubisoft, and Nintendo have all said their piece. Now, it's the Internet's turn.
Nintendo wants you to think their new Wii U console presents "unique" gameplay opportunities, but at their 2012 E3 conference, they barely even touched "original," and the fresh blood they needed from third-party developers felt very thin indeed.
NintendoLand is a multiplayer-focused project designed to take advantage of the Wii U game pad a mechanic called asymmetrical gameplay. It turns iconic elements from Nintendo's various franchises into a theme park.
