You can buy an Amazon Kindle tablet that has a larger display with higher resolution screen, it's own RAM, it's CPU/GPU, which can run apps, it's own flash storage for $69.99 retail today, lol. |
The manufacturing costs is the biggest reason why I think there will be no 2nd screen on the default NX gamepad since the Wii U showed that whatever positive things the extra screen gave could not justify its steep price tag. Hell, it was so much of a failure that it essentially shamed Miyamoto into having no say in any hardware decisions.
And speaking of the Wii, I still like the wiimote -- I just don't like how Nintendo tried to implement it. I think it works as a fantastic hybrid of a mouse/gamepad but Nintendo kept on insisting on implementing the waggle aspect of it in everything regardless of whether or not the game needed it.
