I don´t like it...off tv play is useless to me, the battery life is pretty bad and I think it´s annoying to keep looking up and down between the TV screen and the Gamepad in, for example, those situations in TW101 that demand it.
I prefer the Pro controller far more.Great design and excellent battery life, now that´s an awesome controller.
The mandatory use of the Gamepad in Mario 3D World diminishes my enjoyment with the game.I´m perfectly fine playing with the Pro controller, and all of a sudden the game demands that I use the thing, and for what?..just to touch some frickin platforms and blow into the mic...get outta here.And those Toad levels, why oh why do I have to use it?...just to tilt the controller in order to move the camera....oh wait, but you can also just use the right analog stick, which is actually the preferred method.
I´m so glad DKC has no mandatory use of the pad. |
Wow. That sounds beyond gimmicky. As a Wii U owner, You think they should just drop the Gamepad at this point?

Well, it´s been a little over a year since the system launched and they still can´t figure out anything that truly justifies the controller...the biggest IPs don´t even do anything clever or interesting with it...DKC doesn´t even display anything on the Gamepad screen if you play it on your TV.
If it´s gonna be like that, then by all means they should drop it.Iwata has recently said that justifying the Gamepad is their top priority this year.We´ll see..personally, I´m not hopeful they´ll manage to pull it off in a way that causes the system to suddenly do a 180 and turn around its fortunes.
And about Mario 3D World..yeah, it´s that gimmicky.Let me tell you, it´s very annoying that the game makes you switch controllers just to do that..if you don´t, you can´t proceed.That´s the extension of the Gamepad´s usefulness in the game.It´s like the developers just said "fuck it, we can´t think of anything interesting, but we have to justify some use of the Gamepad, so here it is anyway"

You can play 3DWorld with the Pro Controller? But it has lame mandatory uses like the ones you've listed? That's awful. I'm actually glad DKC doesn't use the Gamepad. I'm baffled as to whose idea it was in the first place. Especially how last gen Nintendo was all about accessiblity now I don't know what they are about.

The first level that requires that you use of the Gamepad.See those platforms with the Gamepad and a hand icon above them?...that´s what I mean, touch them on the Gamepad screen to move them...the game makes me ditch the Pro controller for that..
