Cam Weber, EA’s general manager of American football has revealed that the firm is fully embracing Xbox SmartGlass. Weber says that firm will basically use the Wii U to test out exactly what works and what doesn’t work on a tablet device.
“Conceptually we look at it in the same kind of way,” Weber said, of SmartGlass and Wii U’s tablet. “I think our designers are trying to solve problems around, ‘How do you take advantage of the smart glass, on either device, and what kind of functionality does that unlock? And I think it’ll benefit both.”
“To be more specific, we have Wii U in development now [for Madden], we’ll learn from it and it’ll take us further in terms of delivering on the SmartGlass.”

Excellent news…. This shows that the Wii U is going to be the leading console used for next gen gaming experience. So no tacked on game play gimmicks or shovelware. Wii U will continue to have the advantage over Microsoft and their SmartGlass technology since Microsoft concept relies heavily on the consumer also have a tablet PC. The Wii U comes right out the box with everything you need for the next gen in gaming interaction and game play mechanics.
Think about it… when was the last time a Nintendo console was mention as the leading platform to develop on. Good things are coming starting 2013.

In my opinion, the best uses of Wii U will be touch only (for which Smartglass is fine) or as a second display, for maps and so forth so people could just look over at a tablet. Smartglass will be less efficient than Wii U but bear in mind Microsoft are using existing technology and while Nintendo are adding extra graphical capabilities too, they will charge upwards of $200 for it. Wii U will need so killer software or some great mainstream uses of the controller, that can’t be done on any other console.

I think EA doesn’t quite understand that SmartGlass simply can’t do what the the Wii U can do. The U pad is a tablet/controller all in one that gives all new game play perspectives during gameplay. Look at Zombi U and Lego City as prime example. SmartGlass tools are simply tablets that can receive information. At best SmartGlass will work with touch screen functions for some sports games. Otherwise it simply isn’t the same. Like Moffit said, we don’t have three hands.

Not to be nit-picky here, but from what I saw at E3, few of the WiiU games actually utilized the touch screen AND the buttons at the same time. NSMU utilized only the touch screen, Rayman utilized only the touchscreen, NintendoLand utilized only the touch screen…the only buttons used were on the wiimotes.
I’m not saying smart-glass will be better than the WiiU, not by any means, but for games similar to these, the experience could be pretty equal

Certainly there are going to be games for the Wii U that will be very difficult (if not impossible) to replicate with Smart-Glass. However, some games will not be so difficult.

Well they’re doing it the wrong way round. Smartglass has most of the abilities but not all and it could be used to test the waters, confirming sales on Xbox while checking whether it would be viable to release on Wii U at a later stage, at least in the early days before Wii U proves itself.
LikeLike
I think the main problem is that it cant be used as a controller. We dont have 3 hands, and i’ll use a game that i know you like as an example (looking at your pic), Metroid. Using the WiiU’s pad for a game like Metroid would be insane, because you can use it in the traditonal way, but then say lift the control up and scan the area using the screen, without switching the pad. The Smart Glass cant do that, youd have to switch between controllers constantly.
In terms of media, Smart Glass is probably better for watching tv ect admittedly, because its in HD.
But games are still the main focus of a games console, and microsoft seem to of forget that in the design of smart glass
