They'll probably have some type of free-form LCD wonka factory controller that'll bump the price up to $299.

Nintendo wouldnt repeat a mistake like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo did.  From what they've said about the Wii U, they seem to be very reluctant to blame the gamepad and its increased costs as a significant reason as to why the Wii U failed, instead always trying to find excuses like "it's because of tablets", "the audience just couldn't understand it" and so forth.  Because of that, there's a part of me that feels like Nintendo still thinks that the expensive 2nd screen gamepad is a spectacular idea and will keep on shoving it down our throats until we either like it or they go out of business.  If the NX's controller has any type of screen on it and it comes out that the NX is lacking in power, a lot of people are going to take it as a sign that Nintendo didn't learn their lesson with the Wii U.

I don't mind gimmicks.  I just don't want expensive gimmicks.
