I read somewhere that the map is also not in the gamepad, but we saw the map in the gamepad when Aonuma showed it for the first time 2 years ago, could possibly this means that they are trying to not give any advantage to the WiiU version compared to the NX one? Could this mean NX does not have a gamepad with a screen? It sounds really weird to me.

I'd be shocked if NX has a screen controller, because why would it have one?

On the other hand they clearly have made a deal with Sharp for a free form LCD and have a patent that pretty much shows that tech on a console controller. 

To be honest, a free form LCD controller that's sleeker than the Wii U GamePad with the ability to run Android apps/maybe DS-3DS games might not be such a bad idea. 

Might get some kids that way, you're not going to stop kids from playing smartphone games, so if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. 

The Wii U tablet is kinda useless because it can't be used without the system (and not even like 15 feet away from the system) nor does it run any of the app games kids care about. But today Nintendo could actually get a very cheap mobile chip and have it operate on its own in addition to operating a controller for the console. 

Could be two gimmicky controllers, who knows.
