Yes and waste man power on updating old games just to run on a newer system and make the OS run on 2 branch... As a software developer i tell you, it wouldn't work and would be a big waste of manpower and money. Also, you can't force third party developer to update their games to make it work without the GamePad... The GamePad will stay until the next hardware is released, deal with it. They should focus on making the GamePad a better value instead. |
They released a Wii with no online capability. So all eshop/VC games were inaccessible, and any games with online had those features unavailable. I don't think it is beyond them to break functionality in games with new hardware. Presumably they would start selling the gamepad standalone, which is more of a workaround than the Wii Mini has (as far as I know).
The OS is already mostly useable without the touchscreen. Going between system settings, Wii U Menu, daily log, etc is still really slow, so the OS could probably use a major overhaul either way.
With all that said, I doubt they remove the gamepad at this point. Especially with Amiibo, they wouldn't want to add an extra barrier to entry for that.
