But I'm gonna keep an open mind and wait till E3. At the end of the day, the major driving force after the Wii U would be profit. They wouldn't make something they don't think would sell well. They know the casual market belongs to smartphones and tablets now. The core gamers are shared between PC and consoles. So the gap to bridge is that between PC and consoles, not smartphones and consoles. I remember reading an article on how the gamepad would have been a more attractive sell had the Wii U launched with games like Dota and Starcraft. I'll wait for E3 and hope that Nintendo gives me a console with all the nintendo-ness I need (motion and touch controls) and all the standard stuff third parties need (high end specs, regular controls). |
I think I'm fairly neutral. The reason I've been so bullish about the NX is because I genuinely think what I've put together about it is a great idea. I've said the same about PS Now and the same about the Xbox-Windows integration. It has nothing to do with Nintendo.
If this controller is real and as it seams, this is a terrible idea. The problem with touch controls is that you have to look at where you're pressing. Even on smartphones where the screen is on the surface you're touching, this is bad. That issue becomes unbearable when you're looking at a TV. I keep saying this - Fighting games, action games, and platformers. It doesn't matter if the haptic feedback replicates the sensation of clicking a button perfectly, because it can never replicate the tactile positioning integral to those kinds of games. You must know what you are touching without looking, and that can't be done on a traditional touch screen.
