Purposely changing essential features of your console like the controller just for the sake of being different from the competition is pointless in this day and age. It would be like someone coming out with a keyboard that is laid out differently than the "QWERTY" standard... sure some people might prefer it, but by and large most people who use it will just be wondering why they can't simply have a normal keyboard like everyone else. This goes the same for Ninty's controllers. |
Plenty of people found Nintendo's Wii controllers to be "broke." If "broke" means deviating from the norm, then the Wii U Gamepad is less "broken" than the Wiimotes ever were. Take away the screen and you have yourself a very conventional controller. Most games don't even require you to use it in any significant way. Some don't require it at all. So for most games you can pretty much play them like any other game on another console if you choose, minus a screen tap here or a quick look at a map there. Even if I didn't like the screen being part of my gameplay, I'll take that along with all the great things it provides.
