they won't just be new games, they are new TYPES of games and with them not wanting the competition to copy them I bet it has something to do with either the gamepad or a brand new peripheral.Multiplayer meetings in single player type games hasn't been done. Think about what they showed for Destiny at E3, with drop in co-op online (at least that's what I got from it) now imagine something similar but offline where players can start playing different characters at the same time in the same or completely different area's.

 

We have been limited to one screen for ages and the Wii U gamepad is the first console/handheld something like this has been possible for. Would bring something different to couch multiplayer.

"brand-new types of games"

 

This makes me think back to some earlier Idea's I had in mind with 2 in 1 games where 1 person could play one "game" and another could play the 2nd with both games being on the same disc/drive. In the same vein you could get a new type of multiplayer where the players are in different area's controlling different characters, heck one person could be leveling as a boss while the other levels the protagonist. Imagine 4 player solo/co-op games where you all start in different area's and eventually meet up kinda like how you have NPC's join your party now only these are player controlled characters.

 

A Pokemon MMO isn't really a new type of game, it's still an MMO. As much as we all want it, it would be too damaging to their handheld sales.

Just the worst idea ever.

Really? I think it would be great for families and maybe even friends who don't want to play the same game. This way the console could be shared by 2 people.

Just NO.

Why not?

I'm no tech wiz, it was just an idea I hope to see put into use... even if it's just for VC/downloaded games
