I get what you're saying. I do however consider the gamepad a tablet-controller hybrid. Also, I agree Nintendo knows they fucked up. I mean to suggest that there is a silver lining. Let's assume an alternate universe situation. Let's pretend the Wii U delivered the Wii Sports equivalent that shows the marketability of a gamepad and caused 5 million units to sell in the first quarter. This is unquestionably what all of us fans wish happened. I'm here to point out that sony and ms would obviously create their own version of the gamepad to cash in. The Wii U's head start and success would be worth it, I get that. But in this alternate situation, x1 and p4 would offer every feature the Wii U offered plus more.


Back to our current situation now. We have a consolation prize. We didn't get the big numbers, but we got a system that's unique (uncopied). It brings with it a feature only found on Nintendo. That's not a bad thing. Rather that's a good thing.

Its not a good thing either, because the feature is one that few really care about.



You're wrong. Touchscreen controller's are the future of gaming. The masses haven't realized it yet. When the right app comes they will. We all know it's true. Because, unlike the wii remote, the touchscreen doesn't interfere with normal dual analog controller functions. The touchscreen adds, it doesn't subtract. It builds on a solid foundation and will never disappear.


It's a good thing because they've evolved while others are stagnant in that regard. And for me the right application that shows off the need of a touch screen is already here. I'm talking about the navigation of the OS, web interface, menu systems, and the universal remote. Xbox one is attempting to solve this navigation dilemma by adding voice recognition and hand gestures. Kudos to them. Sony is adding a touch pad. Seriously, their attempts FAIL in comparison to touchscreen navigation. Nothing is simpler.

Future if you say so. Masses havent realized it? Just like they havent realized with the 3d in 3ds? still waiting for that. THe touchscreen does add, but you can only use one controller per system so it some ways it subtracts, they could always rectify this. It wont disappear just like motion controls didnt. doesnt mean it wont be put on back burner.

You keep waiting for the right app though, there is nothing coming out at least this year that is going to show it off to the masses. Nothing that Ninty has comng soon even uses the tablet alot.



Have you played Pikmin 3:
The Wonderful 101
Donkey Kong CR: Tropical Freeze
Super Mario 3D World
Sonic Lost World
Mario Kart 8
Bayonetta 2
Yoshi's New Island or
Monolith's X ????

If not, aren't you negatively speculating? It's not the sme as 3D in 3ds. One is a functional enhancement for simplifying a user experience. I know what you meant by that and I understand the connection. Clearly the 3Ds is kicking butt so it's doing something right. On top of a game library and a cheap price, it offer's a feature only found on Nintendo.
