Watch Dogs

Watch Dogs was recently announced for the Wii U, and it now seems that Ubisoft is still trying to figure out how to utilize the console’s unique touchscreen controller. Speaking to Digital Spy, Senior Producer Dominic Guay explained, “We’re still investigating how we’ll use the tablet on the Wii U, but with the things I mentioned before, for us it’s not going to be a weird stretch.”

The core gameplay of Watch Dogs will remain intact throughout all versions of the game, and connectivity between players will be present across the board. As far as the details are concerned, Ubisoft’s Bucharest studio is in charge of working on the Wii U port and developing gameplay around the GamePad.

It’s great to see a Nintendo console getting third-party support. On the flip-side, it’s not that great that developers aren’t 100 percent certain on how to use that new controller. Here’s hoping Watch Dogs on the Wii U is interesting and takes full advantage of the GamePad. If ZombiU has taught us anything, it’s that Nintendo’s new controller can be pretty damn awesome.
