Wii U can change the way players communicate with first-person shooters, according to Nintendo EAD's Katsuya Eguchi.

Speaking inside the latest issue of Edge, which can be arriving with subscribers now and features an 8-page Wii U cover feature, Eguchi said Nintendo's "very happy and excited" concerning the FPS possibilities using its innovative controller.

"A very key part of the new controller is the screen," he was quoted saying. "You saw the video at E3 with the Zapper with the controller perched over it.

"When we were testing that, and messing around with it, we realised that in terms of an FPS, it had changed just how we were interacting with it and just how much closer it felt. Which was one of the moments that made us happy and excited," he told Edge.

The Wii U controller features built-in gyroscopes that, the theory is that, would allow for augmented reality ironsight aiming from the television in games like Battlefield and Cod with the on-board touchscreen.

You can see it in action via the video on this page, and that we must say we're quite looking forward to the possibilities too. Having the capacity to fire at opponents that are not visible on the TV screen - or even spin 180-degrees - could prove a fantastic feature.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata claims he hopes the brand new console will attract major first-person shooter developers.

He told executives at E3: "I believe we will have an opportunity and we'll be able to bring a lot of those key [FPS] franchises to Wii U due to the work that we've done this far."
