Ok, I have an idea for multiplayer on some games. At E3, Reggie told us that the Wii U can handle 2 separate GamePads, right? So then, I thourght that maybe if the other players WITHOUT GamePads can use their 3DSes. It makes sense because of the touchscreen, camera and mic an' all that. The only downside would be that the graphics would have to be less 'HD'.
So, what are your thourghts on this?

I can see the 3DS being used as a controller. It might be a little cramped with such a small screen, but there shouldn't be any kind of technical problems with that.
Be wary, the suck is coming.

I can see this working. It would be cool if in a game like super smash bros. you could customize your controls and characters on your 3ds game and then use your 3DS as a controller with your data on it.

Does anybody know if the pro controller is compatible with every game because i didn't see many games showing the use of the pro controller because they mainly should the use of the gamepad at E3.

I don't think that this would mean we could have more than two controller screens though, the 3DS would just have to replace one of the two game pads. Since we can only have two gamepads due to the processing power blah blah (:

However, data is still going to have to be streamed to the 3DS, and the Wii U can only handle 2 streams at once. It could maybe take the place of one of the GamePads, but you wouldn't be able to have more than 2 things being streamed to. But this would kind of defeat the purpose of using the 3DS in the first place, so I don't think it'll be implemented.

I don't really think that it would be necessary to use this functionality unless there are games such as The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure U or something like that. but other than games like that i don't see there being a need for this. The idea is sound and I'm sure the capability is there, (after all, smash bros. will work together between the two versions) so its up to developers to find out if there is a need for this.
