GB: Are developers required to implement the screen transfer feature into every game?
Franklin: We're not making any prerequisites to any of the developers to say "you have to do this, you have to do that." What we're showing at this year's show is just the possibilities. That's just an example. Certainly, that's a possibility.
GB: What's the range of the Wii U controller? Can you take it out of the room?
Franklin: We're not talking about range, but the vision is that the controller resides in the living room. That's where the central entertainment is going to be anyway. You've got your TV and you've got your new controller. And just imagine the Chase Mii experience, where you've got four buddies on your Wii remotes and one guy on your new controller, but you're all gathered in the same room having that experience--two different experiences but sharing in the experience. That's the vision.
GB: Does the Wii U controller have its own specific name?
Franklin: Right now, we're just calling it the new controller. Don't have another name for it yet.
GB: Could you theoretically control the Wii U interface with just a Wii Remote?
Franklin: It's so early in the process right now that, again, the thing that we're showing right now is having the new controller, the wireless new controller interface with the system, and having the Wii Remote interface with the sensor bar. There's also a sensor bar on the new controller, so your Wii remotes could read off of that.
