"Can Nintendo drastically alter WiiU similar as 2DS did to 3DS?"

[Jizz_Beard_thePirate]

I think instead of people comparing a wiiU gamepad to the 3ds's 3d feature, they should compare it to the 3ds's lack of a second analog stick instead... When the 3ds came out without a second analog stick, people were harping on and on about there was going to be a redesign but what people don't understand if there was a redesign and the new 3ds had a second analog stick, any game that would use that analog stick would not be compatible with the original 3ds unless they bought a circle pad pro which is a bad business idea...

This is the same case with the wiiU, just the opposite way... If they were to get rid of the gamepad, any games that require the gamepad will be unplayable and I know that there are only a handfull of games that require the gamepad but they still require it none the less... And on top of that, developers won't even consider it a viable option then since they don't know who is gonna use the gamepad so why even bother coding for it... It just reaks of a bad business decision imo if they do that

But there should be a cheaper version of the wiiU coming in the future however, not sure how they are gonna do it but I am 90% sure the gamepad will be included
