First of all, the wiiu has 4 shoulder buttons, and you really think the integrated screen is the same thing as a seperate phone or tablet? To do anything on it, to you, it's better to have to put the controller down, pick up the phone or tablet to do what the game wants, vs having the screen already in your hand, and using one hand or your thumb while still holding the controller, without having to put it down? Come on man, please. And no, I'm kind of a graphics who're, and most likely will buy it for my ps4, so there goes that argument too. But trying to say a seperate phone is "more fitting" is a laugh. Im just saying that this is one case where the wiiu controller actually seems a perfect fit. If you look at my post history, you'll see I'm one that says I think that the wiiu controller is largely useless, so you can  keep your presumptions. 

Its funny how someone can be interested in a game that seems to be a perfect fit for the wiiu, and people will actually try to sell a generic, cumbersome knock off as if it's as good or better, what a joke! So unless they do take great advantage of the wiiu controller and knock it out of the park, I'll most likely get it for my shiny new ps4, sorry if I upset you with a slightly positive post about the wiiu....

Wiiu has two shoulder buttons and two triggers, touchpad on rear of vita can be used in place of the triggers.

regardless of if the wiiu gamepad is in your hand or not, you still need to do two things to use it.

1) look away from the tv

2) take one hand off of the controller to actually use the touchscreen effectively (sorry but reaching over with your thumb isnt a viable option for everyone nor is it an effective one.)

as such the screen being a part of the controller and not a difference device only offers one piece of convenience, proximity, however the downside is it cannot offer what a mobile device offers, portability, which is being used by the developers to allow you to interact with the game even when away from your console with the console turned off.

My issue has nothing to do with the WiiU and everything to do with you labeling any solution used that is not the WiiU as a "knockoff" with seemingly little to know knowledge of how the game interacts with these devices.

If anything, porting such things to the WiiU gamepad rather than a mobile device becomes the knockoff, because what you end up with is a crippled cut down version of what other console versions would have.

Mobile/smartglass players can even play against console players FROM THEIR MOBILES without being anywhere near their console.

"knockoff"? female-dog please.


Yup, like I said, the vita lacks buttons. You can put virtual buttons on an iPhone too, does that make it better than a real controller? how's that workin out? Any thing you do on a phone with the game, like you touching the screen, is, yes you guessed it, what they will do on the wiiu screen... Amazing right? Look it's obvious you have some real dislike for the wiiu.... That's fine. But to actually try to say that having a seperate screen in your lap, makes the wiiu the knockoff? Wow man, you are amazing. And you may look away from the screen, yes, but you don't have to reach over for your phone or tablet! With the wiiu, you're already holding the damn thing! 

And who cares what you think of my opinion of smart glass and the other knock offs out there? I stated my opinions, and you come running to tell me my opinion is somehow wrong?! What is your problem? Is it that someone had something positive to say about the wiiu? That's sure what it seems like, and I'm sure it is. You're upset that I call those knockoffs? But then you turn around and call the first console to standardize it the knockoff? I'm sorry but you entire response to me oozes with ignorance.Your argument is so empty it's not even worth the effort... And you're last words on your post show you immaturity. Good night!
