Twisted Fusion dev explains why the main character uses a GamePad
A portion of a Pure Nintendo interview with Leuvsion’s Lewis Pugh...
PN: Some pics have shown Cora holding a Wii U GamePad in her hands. Can you share with us some information on how the Wii U GamePad will be used?
LP: I’ve yet to show the screens of the Wii U GamePad and the simple reason is we’re just not there yet in development to have the graphics created for the second screen elements. The plan is to have all your HUD elements down there to free up the TV screen. The Wii U GamePad will act as Cora’s smart phone, although the game does take place in a fantasy world, Cora herself came from the modern real world so it will be cool to take advantage of this. In addition to the HUD elements I plan to also have widgets that display the weather and time both important elements in the game, with the Wii U GamePad screen you could get a forecast to plan ahead. There will also be off-TV play.
