| ExplodingBlock said: Alright, so I am making this thread to address a problem I have been seeing all over the internet So many people keep asking for a 200$ Wii U that does not include a gamepad, THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN. EVER If you are one of these people, just stop, you can't even access the system settings without a gamepad, most of the games are not even Pro Controller compatible or require the gamepad to play I know people say the gamepad is under used, but removing the it would not help this problem at all |
So many things wrong here. First, the system settings issue can be fixed with a small patch. They've been making patches like this that phase out the gamepad's usefulness since last year. Second, most games absolutely are playable without the gamepad, and anyone who wants a Wii U without a gamepad doesn't want to play games that require the gamepad anyway. That's not an issue.
The gamepad being underused just adds to the problem. People don't want a giant brick that's useless for 90% of Nintendo's games adding $100 to a console they'd otherwise want. I still say get rid of it. I like it, but those who don't shouldn't need to pay extra for it. It's nothing but an extra periferal. It should not be mandatory, and the sales prove that.
