From what I've heard, you can switch between stick and motion controls quite easily on the GamePad. I'm hoping that's true.

I got used to motion controls with the gamepad for NFSMU. Totally worth the effort. Makes racing so much more immersive and fun.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Because it's more comfortable and has 20times the battery life of the gamepad I always play with the pro-controler when I have the chance and when the gamepad adds nothing wich seems to be the case for MK.

Not sure.

Wii Wheel or GamePad without motion controls.

*Gasp!* Will you ever get one?

I dunno man.. Maybe when a Super Smash Bros bundle comes out but I just don't feel like buying one. Spoiler alert, I'm gaming less and less recently, so I don't know if that is a bad sign.

That is a very bad sign! You might be turning into a normal person! D:

Don't worry, it is very true!

i have to test the motion control, i never had a Wii.

But i do love both GamePad Analog stick and Wii U Pro.

Most likely Wii U GamePad with no motion controls. If for whatever reason it hinders my performance I will use the Wii remote + nunchuck combo until I get myself a Wii U Pro controller.

On a side note, how exactly does the second screen help you avoid blue shells? If it shows a list of each player's items I will definitely use the GamePad, but I hope it doesn't since that feature broke Mario kart 7's online (with people at first place breaking to avoid the blue shells and such). If the screen only shows items laying on the track though I can live without it.

If I'm correct you can even change that mid race too?

The anti-gravity with gamepad motion controls I think will be awesome. I expect something kind of like Star Wars Episode 1 racer's antigravity, but much more refined. If it's done right, step one towards the Gamepad's vindication.

Not quite!

Probably the most important feature is #1, which displays what items everyone has and what position they're in. Feature #2 being the troll horn is definitely the best feature though lol! #3 toggles between off TV mode, #4 displays a map of the course instead of the horn (despite the awesomeness of the horn, the map is more important!), and #5 just toggles between motion and analog controls.
