Fonte.The Wii U definitely has its fair share of haters that love calling the console terrible and a gimmick despite it not being available to the public yet and former Vigil developer Xander Davis just happens to be one of those men.
According to the interview with Not Enough Shaders, Xander has no experience developing anything on the Wii U and can only go off word of the mouth that the Wii U, “games pretty much suck and the tablet is pretty much a complete gimmick.”
Honestly, Xander seems to think that the Wii U is lacking something, I’d assume better graphics than current consoles, or he just hates games that don’t use standard controllers as he notes each form of current console motion controls as gimmicks.
“I’ve not worked on any Wii U version of anything (luckily). But, y’know, I very early on raised my major concern about this. Anybody buying any Wii U game that’s a port is probably buying it almost exclusively and specifically for how it can play differently through the Wii U’s alleged innovated UI. I’m already a known skeptic on whether the interface paradigm is at all anything but idiotic. But if you’re gonna do it? Fine. Then, you HAVE to do it right. You HAVE to innovate on the UI. You HAVE to enhance game mechanics and gameplay in a MATERIAL way that justifies all the hassle and a $400 Xbox 360 seven years late.
I can’t comment on THQ / Vigil specifically. However, just in general, I doubt any studio or publisher is truly giving it the kind of proper UI design and thinking it deserves. Hell, apparently this is a huge leap for regular triple-A console releases. From what I’m hearing from people who have actually played a Wii U as recently as a month ago, the games pretty much suck and the tablet is pretty much a complete gimmick. Still tethered, not wireless.
Maybe publishers can pull off something clever. But won’t it just kind of be clever for a little bit, then not really worth your $60 dollars and just annoying afterwards? Kinect comes to mind. PlayStation Move comes to mind. Motherf*****g Wii comes to mind. But, sure, we’ll have to wait and see… I can’t comment on specifics. I can only speculate, but as a UI Designer applying experienced critical thinking to game mechanics UI and the Wii U tablet, none of it makes sense to me to truly add value to gamers, even if you try.”
In parole povere questo ex sviluppatore dei Vigil Games ha cominciato a spalare caccapupù sul Wi U. Senza sapere nulla della console, ma basandosi sulle "voci" di corridoio. Per il resto vi screeno questa risposta di un utente di GoNintendo, che è proprio ciò che penso anche io.

When you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.
