Speaking in an interview with Kotaku, Miyamoto said the title would introduce some interesting new gameplay experiences, similar to those showcased via the tech demo at E3.

“This is an HD system, our first HD system, and we want to create a real HD Zelda game for it,” he said. “You will see a lot of these in-depth and deep experiences in terms of visual style. You will also see some play styles that are fun and interesting because of the play structure.”

Miyamoto also said the Wii U controller will have a in-built web browser which users can use to surf the net. He considers this to be the single, biggest design accomplishment Nintendo has managed for the new console.

“You have a screen available at any time that you can check,” he explained. “This dedicated second screen, and the way people may use it, not just for gaming, but to do things like browse the Internet, is the Wii U’s single, biggest design accomplishment.

“When you look at most TVs in home nowadays it takes awhile for them to turn on. That becomes a barrier for people.”

If its their biggest accomplishment I hope the browser good.

A Zelda game for a Nintendo console? You don't say...

The internet browser idea is neat, but I don't see how it would be that useful while playing a game.

My Laptop/Desktop/Phone/Ipad/3DS already does that.

I think he means the second screen is the "single biggest accomplishment".

I suppose. They did the 3DS that way (except the TV part).

It sucks that the controller isn't multi-touch though, single touch really sucks in today's touch screens

Zelda in HD? Sounds like I might faint of awesomeness

Ah! Yes, I forgot about my birthday. I can get Mario 3DS and the money for Luigi's Mansion 2 and Paper Mario, then I've just got to save for the Wii U. Also, I read the first post... but there is no actual quote saying that the Wii U has the browser built into the controller...
