Nintendo is reportedly considering enabling the 3DS to be used as a controller for the upcoming Wii U. The company has confirmed that the possibility is being discussed, but would not commit to a "yes" or "no" at this time.
"If software from Nintendo for the Wii or the Wii U system could not be enjoyed without the Nintendo 3DS, some consumers might feel that Nintendo is saying that consumers must buy both systems," Nintendo's boss said.
"So that consumers will not think of Nintendo as a company that made the Nintendo 3DS a controller because it wanted consumers to buy both hardware systems, we will not adopt this idea unless connecting the two systems is the most natural thing to do."
The Wii U is out next year, and will use a new kind of controller that features a touch screen. It seems as if only one controller per console will be usable.
