Octane said: Don't forget that, unless the NX uses another GamePad-like controller (which is extremely unlikely), or unless Nintendo starts selling separate GamePads (which they haven't even done during the three years the Wii U was on the market), backwards compatibility is almost impossible with most Wii U games. You will also be missing out on most of the online experiences, as most people would've moved on to other games by then. |
I'd say most Wii U games are just as functional with a regular controller or Wii remotes as they are the tablet.

GamePad is required for many games; Nintendo Land, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, Captain Toad, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Super Mario Maker, Splatoon, upcoming Star Fox Zero out of the top of my head. It's vital to most of the Wii U library, and don't suggest that Nintendo is going to patch all those games in some way or form.
