After a very long day at E3, we gathered to discuss Nintendo's 3DS presentation, a few handheld demos from around the show, and more third-party games for Wii U.http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/30635The longest day of E3 finally gave us a chance to see some upcoming 3DS titles, and those are the focus of this episode along with a few additional Wii U third-party titles. This will be our final episode from the show, but check out Connectivity for even more E3-related podcasts. RFN will return next week with the regular crew and more gaming discussion!

Do you guys know if the Wii U is motion plus MANDATORY?  Will non-motion-plus controllers work?

In the Pikmin 3 trailer, they said it would be even more accurate with Wii MotionPlus. The way they worded it made me think the old ones might be. I hope not though, I want games that use them to be as accurate as possible.

I thought they meant more accurate with motionplus vs the tablet controller.  I mean 'gamepad'

For the record: I want motion plus to be mandatory.  It'll finally make some use of the peripheral outside of about 5 games.

 I’ve thought this for a while: Wii Remote Plus will be packaged in with the Wii U hardware. Nintendo wants to make sure everyone has it day one. Only Nintendo can 100% confirm this. That’s the rule, if not everyone has it; you can’t develop games utilizing that technology, which is why Motion Plus wasn’t developed for. The same attitude for Smart Glass: you can’t develop a game that requires the consumer to own peripheral tech (especially a tablet). Building on that, Wii U will support 2 GamePads; so it will be interesting to see how Nintendo sells them separately, along with the Wii U Pro controller and how developers will make games around that (I think a lot of that functionality will be based on online multiplayer [2 gamepads, same game]).  My biggest question still remains: How will multiplayer-heavy games like Rayman Legends be played single player (one person can’t use the control stick, buttons, and the touchscreen simultaniously)?
