Thanks for getting the ball rolling. I'm glad I bumped this yesterday. I did put quite a bit of effort into creating it, so it was disappointing to see that it flew under the radar the way it did at first.

| GuyDuke said: This is a rather excellent thread. You deserve praise for your work and your opinion is backed by fair arguments. It makes me lean into the belief that this was Nintendo's endgame, awesome! I really had a good read. I hope more people get to read your post. |
| ThisGuyFooks said: We need more people like you on this site my man. Great, Great Post. I will be posting my opinion later today. |
| Ivant said: Excellent read, I also think the second screen of the wii u was horrifically underrated, During the switch build up, they said there may in future be backwards compatability with old Nintendo controllers, and I really hope they mean the game pad. That would open up the wii u back catalogue for those who didn't adopt the console, add functionality for future games (Map / inventory screens, think fallout 4 virtual boy) as well as the entire catalogue of DS, 3ds and new 3ds games. With the joycons there should be no need to go back and add compatibility to wii motes, all that tech is there already, and with more buttons! It would be great however to give those wii u owners and unexpected boon, as well as birth another extra peripheral for switch owners to buy, even if it were a smaller screen / controller. |

| zorg1000 said: Great post and i do agree with you to an extent but rather than saying it was "premeditated", i would say its more like Nintendo likes to go back and revisit various ideas that didnt take off for one reason or another. An example outside of the ones you detail would be the dual screen idea for DS which was originally used with Game & Watch. |
Thanks much to everybody for taking the time to read my post and for the compliments as well. This was something that had been on my mind for a while after the Switch launch. I've hypothesized it in much shorter form in a few posts before and though it deserved a thread of its own. I'm glad I took the time to post it now.
