Apply that to your own posts and be wary of sweeping negative generalizations

True but at the same time most forum dwellers don't understand the mass market so that generalization is fair for the most part. 

Haven't bought W101 yet. But in Zelda its a huge benefit to me.

1) Capability to play off-tv is a MASSIVE benefit in my home for every game. Sure if you're single, no kids etc, then meh, but with a family this is an essential feature.

2) Playing on TV with gamepad makes the game super easy to manage your items/map etc. Its far more convenient that having to pause game.

EDIT: related to mass market talk above. off-tv IS the perfect mass market benefit. mass market for games are families, especially Nintendo games.

Sorry Peelman you wrote a bit too much :P.  But I glancing over what you wrote, even using the pad to select items is combersome, you have to drag an item to a button slot and then press the button to use it, it's not better than highlighting it and then selecting it.  Highlighting and selecting is just as fast and doesn't have the added motion of moving your head.  Like, as a comparison, I prefer using the Wii-mote for the exact same functions than using the pad.  It's more or less where your focus is.  Using the pad is a primary focus instead of secondary.  Primary being where your vision is, secondary being your actions.  Like can you imagine playing Street Fighter and constantly have to look down at your controller when you wanna through a fireball?  Or playing smash and staring down at your controller to press a to attack?  That to me, is where the pad fails, you can't make using it a secondary focus.  Unless we can figure out a way to play Zelda without using items or looking at a map O_O

I prefer gamepad for Wind Waker for two reason.

1. I do think it has features that improve game. Seeing map on bottoms screen, or items ect at all times is super handy. Doing dungeons is amazing having the map on the controller screen at all times. Then swapping items is easier and you don't need to pause doing it. Only time I pause game is when a break a jar and a fairy pops out. Then its pause and quickly equip bottle so that i can catch and not run into it. have to be careful and get fairy's in hero mode. Looking at the treasure maps and the map at same time while still sailing is beyond amazing.

2. the gamepads battery life. It only last what 4 hours or so. keeps me from video gaming for too long, lol.

I loved TROPICO so much on the Xbox360, I really hope they do more of these RTSs on the PS3 ot PS4.

I like the gamepad for the gyro aiming

ah yea forgot about that.  Aiming is really easy with that.  

Well actually had a hard time against the forest boss aiming at his tentacle things. I resorted back to using right stick to quickly select thing with boomerang there.  But aiming with Bow and hookshot and stuff is a million times easier and smoother with gyro

That is true, for people who have families and everything...
