E3 2014 | Two Player Co-Operative Planned for Star Fox Wii U

Nintendo are planning on incorporating two player co-operative play in the Star Fox game for Wii U.

Project lead Shigeru Miyamoto outlined the optional mode, where one player could control the craft's movement, whilst the other would use the GamePad to look around the surrounding area, acting as a gunner. "So they can just aim and shoot. They don't have to worry about flying," Miyamoto said. It would be a means of introducing newer players to the concept, and allowing veterans to easily adjust to the setup.

The approach also expands to cutscenes, where the GamePad could be used to navigate these sequences, where the TV would have the overall view, but the GamePad would allow players to "feel more like you're part of the event that's happening."

As for the single player, Miyamoto also demonstrated a "helicopter" level, where the TV would focus on this hovering craft, whilst the GamePad could control a robot on land at the same time.

What do you think of the GamePad ideas for Star Fox on Wii U?
