Is Nintendo crazy? Why is the X1 almost the same price as the Wii U this holiday?

Clearly you haven't played 3D World or NSMBU, because they do use it, in fact they require it. And Mario Kart is best controlled with it as well, I've found. Smash has it as a controller option as well.

Oh ok, yet both games are local multiplayer experiences right? How does that work?

I see, so you just assumed then? Ha! I knew you didn't play it. Basically, for single player, its required, for local multiplayer, one person must be using the gamepad.

No but I didn't literally mean they didn't use it, I had seen reviews and knew that they used it in menial ways and the games obviously work with them but I didn't know it was required for play as well although that could easily be patched (presumably powerups and maps are displayed at on the second screen?).
