"Nintendo now know they absolutely need to support two tablets."
When the Wii U was officially announced at this year's E3, the idea of a room full of people each with their own tablet was quickly dashed when it was revealed the system could only support a single tablet at a time. Nintendo is reportedly trying to change this by working out a way to support two tablets on one system.

A few years ago, Cosmic Walker made a short blip on the Wii release radar. A brief video clip, three screen shots, a few details a few months later, and that's the last we heard about it. According to IGN, the game would've starred an astronaut who travels between space stations and the moon performing various tasks, and bore a resemblance to Endless Ocean -- and that's still all we know about it. Development was likely scrapped long ago, but why not try to imagine what it would play like on Wii U? A sandbox game in space would really rock it, man.
Team Ninja is working hard to push the Wii U to its limits.
At E3 earlier this year, Nintendo showed a Wii U “sizzle reel” showcasing games that were said to be in development for or would be ported to the system at some point in the future. One of the titles shown was the highly anticipated Ninja Gaiden 3, a franchise that hasn’t seen Nintendo console release since 1995’s SNES Ninja Gaiden Trilogy. While it was fantastic news that Ryu would be slashing through enemies on the Wii U, there hasn’t exactly been much information concerning the title since. Actually, there’s been no information until now.

Pikmin 1 and 2 were two great GameCube games and some of Miyamoto's most original efforts. A strategy game involving anthropomorphized flower-sprouting plants that could be commanded to retrieve spaceship parts and attack enemies was completely unconventional to say the least. It was also a lot of fun.
