Battlefield 3 designer thinks Wii U “will prove sceptics wrong”

Patrick Liu, the lead designer of Battlefield 3, believes that the Wii U will prove sceptics wrong, much like the Wii did. He admitted to having a low opinion of the Wii when it first launched, but was surprised at how that turned out.

Nintendo has surprised us so many times before. I was one of the sceptics when the Wii came out and it proved us wrong. I think they’re going to prove a lot of sceptics wrong again.

He also sees an awful lot of potential in the Wii U’s controller, but isn’t quite sure how to make use of it just yet.

We definitely see potential in the Wii U. But I wish I had the breakthrough idea for how to exploit the new controller.
