Other Uses
Asymmetric gameplay is a form of multiplayer in video games in which multiple players can play the same game simultaneously in different ways. A strong example of this is Nintendo's upcoming Wii U console, which offers asymmetric gameplay experiences via its Wii U GamePad. For example, in Rayman Legends, a player using a standard controller can control the on-screen character, whilst a second player using the Wii U GamePad's touchscreen can control an extra character that can manipulate the environment.
