I know what you mean, its the main reason I want this controller... er controllers??

I like these kind of designs.. After using the wii remote and nunchuck i was hoping for it to become more common.

I have never tried the PS move but it seems to be comfortable.

Sorry, but I think the gamepad looks better as is. A controller with a screen on it looks kind of weird to me, and it would be awkward to play off screen..

Honestly, all I really would have wanted was a capacitive touch screen.
I know there are other problems with the game pad, but that's the one thing that I found almost offensive. Capacitive touch screens had literally been standard for five years when the Wii U came out.

why not? i still do like the idea.Some games doing great use of the 2nd screen (WindwakerHD, ZombiU), Off tv Play is great and local multiplayer without splitscreen is great too.

The problem with wii u is more the weighting they give the 2nd screen. It was to much. It is nice to have the opinion to use this screen if it makes sense, but for games like Watchdogs a simple map on the screen would be enough.

it shouldnt had be THE BIG FEATURE of the wii u (that should had been 1080p) but it is still a good idea imo.

Because it does nothing but damage the integrity of the console with gamers, sometimes damaging the quality of games by questionable design choices made because of it, and increasing the price of the thing by a significant amount making it less accessible, even for fans. Regarding Ninty's reputation, as if it wasn't already bad enough that the Wii made Nintendo the laughing stock of the industry, the Wii U served as confirmation for people that never took the Wii as a real console that Nintendo in their mind sucked, limiting Nintendo's market by a lot, and making their things a lot harder to market in the long run.

Imagine a Wii U with a normal controller, selling for 250 on day of release, with appealing games that didn't rely on gimmicks and made with Ninty fans of mind, sounds good right? I can say with no hasitation that the Wii U could've sold 15 M by now if that was the case, but Nintendo sucks at making logical decisions and unfortenely it wasn't.

What games that rely on gimmicks?

gamepad should really just be an optional thing. if Nintendo is innovative, it just really be a bigger PS4/standard controller with a ~4" LCD screen in the middle.

I'm already fine on what they have so I'm content with the current design.
