The GamePad, in my opinion, provides several things: asymmetrical multiplayer, off-screen play, easy web browsing, and a bunch of extras like five-player local multiplayer. So that is the point of it: to allow consumers to play and share their games in new and different ways. If you don't like the GamePad, I would suggest going with a Pro Controller or Wii Remote, as I mentioned in your other thread on this subject.


Yes... it´s that simple, isn´t it? Just a new option to play your games and to use your console.

I really don´t understand why some people makes such a fuzz about that. If that was such a terrible idea, then why would Sony and MS spent time and effort trying to mimic it with PS4/Vita and Smartglass ?

It´s good to have options. Pikmin 3 is a great example of it, anyone can play it with their controller of choice. In the end, what really makes a difference between consoles is the game library.

Sony and Microsoft didn't want to get caught offguard again, in case the second screen panned out as a must have feature.  The unique interface end around wasn't going to catch them off guard, like it did with the Wii.

The thing with Nintendo is that the second screen IS adding to the cost of the system.  So, if the second screen doesn't matter, then they are pricing their system higher than it needs to be.
