WTF? does this mean they re doing away with physical buttons on their controller?

Time for the nintendo controller thats actually just a touch screen? >_>'

This is going to flop, alot of people really like the "feel" of a controller in their hands,

and haveing actual buttons to press is something most wont settle for not haveing.

 

*edit:  I like the concept and the idea & design options this gives though... im kinda torn on it atm.

Im not a fan of the gamepad as a controller either, but could use it if I had too in some games.

However if this gives more buttons, or enables better gameplay due to more buttons ect, I can see the reasoning for removeing physical buttons.

 

Oh, because "haveing" actual buttons give you "alot" more accuracy? I imagine your computer keyboard has buttons, unless you've been "removeing" them, and it hasn't helped with your accuracy.
