How many Wii games (not Virtua Console ones) required the Classic controller? Or the Balance Board? Don't compare the hassle of having to use different controllers (that you had to buy separatedly) for a selected minority of games with having to use two sets of controllers for every game, depending on where/how you'll play.

Also, now that I think about it, how will those detachable controllers work? They will have to have their own battery to work, otherwise you couldn't use them when detached from the NX. How much will they weight? And what happens in the hypothetical (and not very likely to happen) case of one of them running out of power while the other and NX don't? Will they drain power from the NX unit to recharge?

 

But I will and did compare them! Based on how well MKWii, Wii Sports Resort, and Wii Fit sold, it's definitely much more than a small minority. Now that'll be the last time I address this since it's besides the point. If you want to believe the detachable controllers are less simple, fine, but they (atleast how I imagine it) are most definitely better for the consumer and that's what matters most.

We'll have to see of course, but I imagine that whatever goes inbetween the controllers is what powers them be it the NX itself or whatever they'll use to bridge the controllers together while the NX is in the docking station.

You have only named three games, of the hundreds that Wii have. And MKWii had a plastic adaptor to use with your wiimote, that's not exactly a controller. Otherwise those sets of plastic add ons for Wii Sports would also count as gamepads, and God no they weren't!

But let's leave it behind as, as you've rightfully said, it's besides the point.

If the NX unit powers the controllers, that goes against those that believe that they can be used to play multiplayer on the go or that they will work as wiimotes.
