Forums - Nintendo - Which do you game on more now? Gamepad or Television?

Generally gamepad ATM.

But mainly because I'm playing a lot of smaller indie and VC games (broken finger means anything that can't be played simply is out of the question).

Prefer the TV for bigger games though. Looking forward to cracking on with my backlog when my finger's healed.



Around the Network

I live alone most of the time so I usually just use the tv like 99% of the time. Sometimes I switch to Gamepad mode if there's something good on TV but not good enough to get my 100% full attention. Other times I switch to Gamepad just to see how certain things will look on the Gamepad. The smaller screen makes things look a better than they really are since the flaws are harder to notice.

I'm a TV guy, though. Gamepad is for bonus features in certain games, and navigating the web (Keyboard and instant touch porn navigation!)  if you ask me.



TV mostly, but it depends on which game I'm playing. The kids make good use of the off-TV screen play feature.



TV, I mostly use the game pad for things like Netflix or Hulu or play while I'm taking a shit.



TV 100% for gaming. I don't enjoy handhelds. Gamepad for other functions such as net surfing, etc.
