I don't understand why people have such a huge problem with the tablet controller, the button placement in relation to your fingers is the exact same as traditional controllers, the only difference is that your hands will be a few inches farther apart.

That doesn't add any muscle strain or anything else that would equate "discomfort" - if anything, it will feel like holding a PSP.

Controllers are molded into your hands, it would be very difficult playing a game which involves fast button pressing, or a shooter on a tablet. Metroid Prime really works best with a Wii mote. The tablet only works for slower paced games like a 2D Mario or a JRPG.

However this Wii-U thing really gives rise to good shooters now. Imaging Battlefield with a Wii-Mote, or Ninja Gaiden.
