Honestly I wasted my free 24 hours with the game.  I only played Tennis and it was so laggy I never tried out the other 2 games so I've no clue what was so good about the pad in any of the games.

No lag for me, and the bowling and golf are fun to play online because you see how other people play.

You're entitled not to like it but it doesn't make the gamepad less of a proven concept on Wii Sports Club golf.

Putting the controller on the ground for golf is one of the worst ideas I've ever seen.  People are going to step on it.  That's what you meant as a proven concept?



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

I can't wait to use my Wii U pad as a giant horn in Mario Kart 8. Game changer!!

To be honest the reason I've always suspected that Nintendo can't drop the gamepad is they were making these NFC games and they need the controller to make that work.

You clearly haven't played it.
I played it with my 5 year old nephew and no stepping so far.

You aren't the typical consumer.  Most people would leave the controller on the floor and walk away without thinking twice about it.  Nintendo told me to do it they'd say!  Have we forgotten the LCD debacle with the original Wii?

Whether the danger to the pad is true or not, the game concept is proven. If you haven't tried it yet, trust me on it.

I was half way joking... sadly you know people are going to step on it.

I believe on gamepad but for me work better as a asymetrical multiplayer machine, yet nitenndo will focus on single player. By the way, would be so cool if i could batle with nfc card just pasing then trough the game pad, ala yughi oh. Please no more figurines nitendo. You suck at making them.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
