This controller sounds amazing!! First off, it brings a whole new level to multiplayer gaming.  Everyone sees something different on their Wii U game controller but everyone's screen is shown on the tv. The controller is also said to increase player involvement in the game.  Such as the new Batman game made for the Wii U letting you have access to his Bat computer aka your controller. The controller adds a video chat feature as well with its front facing camera. The nunchuks and wii remotes will still be compatible with this console as well.  So that's a brief 101 on the Wii U.
