Shigeru Miyamoto teases that he might consider one day to make a first person shooter for the Wii U but not in a traditional sense where guns are the only focus of the game.
Instead he wants to take the first person perspective to enhance other aspects of a shooter to add in a stronger role for exploration and other often ignored aspects of things in the shooter genre.
In theory, he would want the Wii U tablet to contain all the main data and HUD to leave the tv screen free from items so it would only focus on the virtual world created.
Quote:
"I actually do kind of want to make a first-person shooter," he told me in Los Angeles last week, "but I don't have time."
"Rather than necessarily the question of 'What kind of weapon do I have?' in a first person shooter or 'What kind of effect does that have on an enemy?', I think that the structure of a first-person shooter is something that's very interesting," he said through a translator. "Having that 3D space that in theory you are in and being able to look around and explore that—particularly being able to do that in conjunction with another person—is very interesting."

A few of the ideas he was considering were also explaining within the interview with Kotaku with the primary focus involving how the Wii U tablet can create a unique experience for each person playing.
