Iwata says ZombiU will become a "seminal title"

In the ZombiU edition of of Iwata Asks, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said he believes Ubisoft's survival-horror game will become a "seminal title" for Wii U, as it makes use of the GamePad in a number of ways which highlight the high tech controller's various features. Here are a few interesting excerpts.

    “The most fundamental aspect of video games is that compulsion every time you slip up to give it just one more go. Once it gets to the point where it seems utterly impossible, players begin to lose enthusiasm; if it’s done right though, players will want to keep retrying despite the difficulty.”

   “I get the feeling that ZombiU will become the focus of attention, not just in Europe, but around the world including Japan. I look forward to ZombiU becoming a seminal title, complimenting Nintendo’s own efforts to showcase the reason why Wii U had to have the Wii U GamePad as its controller by demonstrating yet another way of doing things.”

ZombiU has been received positively for the most part, although there have been some very negative reviews. It currently has a Metacritic average of 76% based on 48 reviews by professional critics. You can check out those reviews here.
