THQ says they thought of Wii U controller 18 months ago, released it as uDraw

GN Version 3.1

The following information comes from THQ’s kids, family and casual division boss Martin Good…

“None of this is a surprise. As you know, we thought of it 18 months ago and released it last season. We think we’re really on the front for it and well poised to exploit this because we’ve already been playing with the drawing mechanic and we’ve got a lot of game designs in the pipe. It’s only going to get better with that experience. THQ never really went about being a peripheral manufacturer - that wasn’t our intent. The fact is we had to create our own peripherals including for 360 and PS3 to be able to play with that audience.”

Again, there are some similarities between the Wii U and the uDraw, but they are on a very basic level. I think THQ is being just a tad cocky about this one. I love my uDraw, but to say it matches specs with the Wii U is just a tad overzealous.
