I'm a little confused about your OP, Joe. Is it just to prove that no game idea necessitates the Gamepad? That may be true, but the GamePad allows a lot of cool functions: five-player local multiplayer, asymmetrical multiplayer, off-screen play, plus a bunch of other features that haven't been presented yet.

But, again, the OP is strange to me. Super Mario 64 doesn't NEED an analog stick, but it sure makes the game a whole lot better.
