The twelve minigames of Nintendo Land are based on popular Nintendo franchises are based on Wii U tech demos shown at E3 2011, but are modified to feature Nintendo characters) and are designed to incorporate elements which utilize the features of the Wii U GamePad, often in conjunction with other players using Wii Remotes and Nunchucks . The combination of Wii Remotes and Wii U GamePads allows for what Nintendo calls "asymmetric gameplay," where players have different experiences depending on which controller scheme they use. Completing minigames and completing certain objectives earns coins, which can be used to play a single-player pachinko minigame. One more player uses their GamePad to control a character in the rear of the pack using a bow and arrow. In "Surface-Air Combat", the players with Wii Remotes and Nunchuks try to shoot down the player with the GamePad.
