I think in concept, the Wii U GamePad is brilliant. The issue is the choices and missed potential.
-No game ever used more than one, despite Nintendo saying there would be games one day that would.
-Resistive touchscreen
-It technically uses Wi-Fi, but only to connect to the console and at very short distances. The GamePad should've been able to Remote Play from dozens if not hundreds of miles away provided the Wii U was powered on and the internet connection was robust.
-It was always packaged with the console, increasing the cost. Additionally, basic things like setting up the console for the first time and certain other system settings require it.
What should have been a sleek device that would appeal to core gamers looks like a Fisher Price toy.
