There are very few Wii-exclusive franchises that interest me that I wouldn't be able to play on the PS3, but ... if a multiplatform third party game were on both systems, then I'd probably want to get it for the Wii U just to have the tablet support, which I consider to be the greatest innovation in gaming to date.
I would want to see a *good* Star Fox game on the Wii U, as well as Dragon Quest X and undoubtedly another installment in the Donkey Kong Country series (following Returns). Aside from that, it's almost for certain that Mario and Zelda will be brought over to the system, so I don't even need to mention those.
And could Final Fantasy Versus XIII be the first game in the main series to appear on a Nintendo console since FFVI on the SNES? Nintendo's revelations at E3 were nothing short of a game-changer for me.
As far as Kingdom Hearts 3 goes ... it was previously stated that the game would almost definitely not show up on the Wii due to the graphical limitations of the machine ... but now that that's changed, it could very well appear on the Wii U.
I think in a lot of third-party cases, choosing between the PS3 or Wii U version of a game, it's going to be a choice between trophies or tablet. And I think for me, the latter would win every time. Because I want to be able to play console games out on my deck using the game pad alone while the actual device is running the game inside in the family room.
If that isn't innovation, I don't know what is.
