Why the Wii U might be set up for failure

[HappySqurriel]

On the controller layout ...

Systems with the buttons going B-A are:
NES, SNES, N64*, Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS

Systems with the buttons going Y-X are:
SNES, Gamecube, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS

*The N64 could be argued either way TBH
