For or Against, the Wii U pad.

I'm undecided on it at the moment. I actually find it a bit uncomfortable to use and for me, it's far too big. But at the same time, having it as standard does mean there are lots of untapped opportunities. It's just unlike the Wii, Nintendo haven't come out of the gate with a killer app for it. Nintendo Land is nice, but it's no Wii Sports.

I do fear too many compromises had to be made (to control price) to limit the pad's usefulness. Resistive touch screen rather than multi touch, and a cheap LCD rather than a high end LCD/OLED display make it feel quite cheap. Had they been able to provide what would essentially have been a Vita, I'd have been 100% sold on it.
