WiiU Controller

I don’t really get excited about consoles, but the WiiU’s newly announced enormous, screen bearing controller looks to me like it will be joining the Wiimote and Kinect as a delightful object for hacking- lots of buttons and sensors, radio (presumably Bluetooth), large screen, and high-volume consumer electronics pricing. It should enable some neat multi-player dynamics (always Nintendo’s strong point), which I honestly expect to be a load of fun, but I’m more interested in seeing the inevitable uses as automation controllers and the like.
