Making Five Wii U Games with Unity

Welcome to PocketMars (now PolyMars), a channel focused on game development in Unity!
In this video, I show off 5 prototypes I created for the Wii U using the Unity game engine. Here are the timestamps for each creation:
0:00 - Intro
1:05 - Tilt Maze
2:04 - Gyroscope-Controlled Shooter
3:03 - "Clap to Jump" Endless Runner
4:09 - Pointer-Controlled Shooter
5:14 - Beat Saber Clone
6:17 - Conclusion
I hope you enjoy the video! Feel free to leave any thoughts or suggestions for future videos in the comments.
Follow me on Twitter for more frequent updates on my projects!

    I was hoping to see some asymmetric games where the content on the tv is different than what’s on the handheld. I always thought the idea was never really explored fully.

    I use the Wii Motion Plus sensors, which rely mainly on a gyroscope but also use the IR sensor for automatic recalibration :)

    Could you perhaps make a tutorial sometime on how to make such games? (especially with the Wii remotes)
