I created the thread!!! I got a launch WiiU .... The WiiU has lost all 3rd Party support which it had a launch. Consumers and developer have not embrace the gamepad. E3 2014, Nintendo still trying to prove the value of the gamepad and how it can be used to enhance game experience.
Nintendo’s upcoming Wii U title Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze could be a sign of things to come on the console.
As noted by NintendoWorldReport, when playing the game on a TV screen the screen on the Wii U GamePad is left completely blank.
You have three options of what you can do with the GamePad in Mario Kart 8. To make it easy, let’s just list them below:
- Horn: Just like E3 2013, you have a horn that you can honk.
- Map: Akin to the 3DS/DS entries in the series, the second screen turns into a map.
- TV Screen: It shows exactly what is on the TV screen. So if you’re playing split-screen, it’ll show exactly what the TV shows.
So any dream of the five-player racing that Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed did at launch is gone. Any thought about how cool it would be to race your friend on the GamePad screen while he used the TV screen is gone. Something that could have made this safe, iterative entry in a racing series unique will not be happening. It’s a severe bummer.
