I'm going to have to say no, but it does seem like they were chasing the tail this time around by making the touch screen such a major distinguishing feature of the Wii U. Tablets were essentially reborn with the iPad in 2010, creating a viable new segment in mobile computing devices. Nintendo releases a tablet-like controller in 2012.

I actually prefer the standard controller layout the Game Pad has over the Wii mote/nunchuk set up that just doesn't work for so many of the games I prefer to play almost to the point where I might have preferred had it been the alternate control scheme rather than the primary control scheme. Not that it matters 6 years later.
