As an avid gamer I have been following the next gen gaming talk as close as I possibly can. Sony not wanting to reveal too much before Microsoft reveals it's hand, and conversely Microsoft doing the same thing. Nintendo ran ahead with it's innovative step which somewhat combines the hand held portable market with the console market in it's Wii U.

Though much like Microsoft with it's Kinect add on for the 360, Nintendo is not taking the other initiatives to make this step much more intriguing. I saw an idea online for Wii U which could connect to a gaming culture that normally gets left behind and out, the Tabletop crowd (D&D gaming community to give a better description). 

Say we give it connectivity online and create a multiple game tabletop to play over a network, where in one person serves as the DM and the others move around in the dungeon. It could even be set up to be used locally with the players in the same room. To me this is a great idea as there are not many online table tops that work well. And making it electronic could revive the tabletop and bring it to a wider audience who are leery of a non electronic game.
