The way the GamePad running out the battery turns off the console, and that you can't turn it off without turning off the console, even if you're using a different controller. It's just so bizarre.... I really have to say, as big a Nintendo fan as I am, I really, really don't understand why the GamePad has to be turned on when I'm using a remote or Pro controller. Turning off the display works, but then a slight bump of any of the buttons, or if something grazes the screen, it turns back on. Obnoxious...unnecessary... you name it. All synonyms are applicable here. Also, the quality of the GamePad screen is lacking. It's got these weird lines in it. The resolution seems adequate enough, but the quality of the panel they used is just unforgivable. If they really couldn't bundle a high-quality GamePad and keep the console under $400, then they should have gone another way in the next generation. All we're left with is a console on par with the PS3, visually, and a clunky, enormous controller that can't be turned off. With the exception of there not being pressure-sensitive triggers, I do very much like the Pro controller. It's not bad. |
wow that does sound crazy, i do appreciate you given a well thought out description and at least thinking about it and not getting emotionally and flying off the handle like some folks here.
