Takuya Matsumoto, lead designer of The Last Story, has stated that he is interested in making RPGs for the Wii U. In an interview with SiliconEra, he said "I feel that the Wii U's interface, as with other tablet devices, works best for browsing and arranging information." He then elaborated on this, saying "One merit is the ability to use a touch screen to directly manipulate information, such as looking up a monster's weak point or, like a car's GPS, as a tool to understand battlefield conditions on a sub screen. This special feature wil likely bring about opportunities for deep research into JRPG strategy."
In addition to this, Matsumoto also believes the ability to share data with other players with Wi-Fi and Nintendo's new Miiverse will make "an experience typical to the Wii U." Matsumoto's comments certainly bode well for Nintendo's new console, especially for the RPG genre.
