Why does it seem that to be accepted by the Nintendo community, you need to be a hard core fan?

Dunno, I like Nintendo's stuff most of the time, but I REALLY dislike their Wii U move to make a touchpad controller. I can't explain the absolute HATRED I have for thumbstick controls.

Hi Raze,

I agree with not liking the move to make a touchpad controller their mandatory controller for Wii U (much in the same way i dislike the fact that M$ is including Kinect 2.0 with every Xbone because it allegedly requires it or some bullshit), but could you clarify your second statement about the hatred you have for "thumbstick controls"?  Are you referring to the dual-analog setup that pretty much every system aside from the Wii has had as standard on their controllers for the past two generations?

Because it doesn't make much sense that you would dislike the touch controls AND the dual thumbstick setup, because these days it's one or the other... you're not going back to D-pad or even single analog stick controls unless your preferred setup is a Wiimote + Nunchuk, which tends to clash with the vast majority of "core" games released these days.
