Unless there is some breakthrough title that reaches out to the non Nintendo and Core audience than truly shows an experience that only can be done with a pad that also easily uses the buttons and control sticks. As someone else said there isnt much difference between taking your hand off the control sticks to have to use the touch screen then to take hand off controller to use tablet. Not to mention multi-touch tablets can use soft buttons for many of the functions that the Wii U pad requires a button along with the touch screen. Now with games that uses the Wii U tablet for an extra player to do extra things or simply just use the Will U tablet without buttons and sticks or the Wii U is optional to use then dont see any advantage at all for Wii U. So that leaves the one advantage the Wii U tablet has is the type of game that must be played with the Wii U touch screen and the more traditional buttons and sticks (Remember when Nintendo preached simpler control methods) as the only game type that the Wii U touch screen has an advantage. At E3 what games were of that type? I recall Zombie U and maybe Batman:AC which is a game from 2011 with grafted on additional tasks. |
Yes, you're right. ZombiU is the prime example of the advantages of the padlet. Batman to a lesser extent, though it made use of the scanner iirc.
A more debatable example is Rayman Legends and NSMBU, where the gaphics on the handheld match the TV graphics seamlessly, but you brought up a possible counterpoint to this advantage I had previously raised, so it's a debatable advantage. Still, one must admit the UPadlet is very seemless, and that's a performance guaranteed by Nintendo. The same can't be said about SG' use on tablets with possible multi-tasking and resources used by the OS, as well as various Network setups and configurations. However, barring all obstacles and configurations, I can agree that there is a possibility of SG to rival the Upadlet in the Legends/NSMBU case. Mind you, it's a guaranteed scenario for the Upad versus a best case scenario for SG.
