It's more added to what's already there. That's like saying that the L & R buttons are a step back from the A and B buttons because the A and B buttons are better buttons.
Also, the gamepad was heavily used on the DS, so I don't see why it's so resented when it comes to the U.

The gamepad requires full breaking of focus via head movement, to use, as opposed to the DS screen, which is a quick look up and down, and keep the head focused. It is not the same thing, but it is connected a bit. One could, for example, combine the two screens together on the DS set up and play as one. The Wii U is not the same.

One minor difference that anyone can agree to. But the similarities are also very potent. The touch menu of OoT 3D will be available for Zelda U like it is currently for WWHD. The ability to draw notes on maps like in Spirit Tracks will be there. The touch controls of Trauma Center will be possible and more adequate than the Wiimote's interface. Those kinds of things are all still available in common between the two devices (DS and Wii U).

i see what you're saying, but i still think you are wrong the games that TRULY benefitted from the DS touchscreen are not the type of games that are going to be popular on a home console, so sure you can have your little map, but that doesnt really make the game that much better, not like we havent been playing without it for years.
|
I think there is a role somewhere here, as SmartGlass and Vita integration on the respective consoles show. Also, consoles STILL have not been able to implement RTS yet (and don't give me Halo Wars as a solution, as it isn't). BUT, whether or not that is enough to move sales, is the big question and a point of contention sides are lining up on in threads like this.

Im going to go out on a limb and say NO, the gamepad hasnt done it and IMHO they are NOT going to do it, nothing that Ninty has coming so far i see is going to really show the thing off. Mario Kart? probably going to use the 2nd screen just like they did for the recent portable games and weve already had two of those. Smash Bros.? fighting game? doubt it.
As for RTS i think you are giving that genre FAR too much credit, Pikmin 3 is one such game and its been getting rave reviews and hasnt done anything for Wii U what game do you think will do what it couldnt? is it even that popular on PC? im asking cause i dont know. Smartglass and Vita, not many people are buying Vitas and as much as i like the system i dont see that changing. Smartglass, i dont think that much people care, and if people dont care devs are not going to care and not going to take advantage.
