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

Speaking within 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 with its innovative controller.

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

"When we were testing that, and experimenting with it, we realised that when it comes to an FPS, it had changed the way in which we were interacting with it and the way much closer it felt. That has been one of the moments that made us delighted and excited," he told Edge.

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

You can observe it in action through the video on this page, and we must say we're quite excited about the possibilities too. Having the ability to fire at opponents that aren't visible on the TV screen - as well as spin 180-degrees - can be a fantastic feature.

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

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