I really wish I hadn't wasted my time on that dribble, but felt it only fair before a response.
Stick placement? Really? Gamers seem to have no qualms with the PS3 and Xbox360 despite the different stick placements. All that muscle memory though, how do players adapt...
I agree that not enough games that utilise the gamepad in novel ways have been released, but at the same time, not every game needs to do this. Games designed for traditional controllers are still relevant and should be developed. Sometimes a dedicated map or inventory is all you really need, with the option for off-TV play, to add value to a game that is being played on the Wii U. Not every developer needs to completely flip their franchise on it's head for the gamepad's sake.
It's really disappointing to see uh, high profile I guess, game journalists using such bias and lack of logic, when so many are unfortunately actually listening and paying attention to them.
