Do you think Nintendo's next console will have a gimmick in the controller like Wii and Wii U have? I think It's a 50/50 chance at this point. I feel like they don't want to screw up, but Nintendo likes to do their own thing.

I hope they make a better gamepad for the next console. Gimmick or not, I like it!

Yes and they will be targetting the adult audience by including a sex toy attachment

I really hope not. The Wii U's tablet controller is cool and all, but no one is really using it to its full potential, and is one of the main reasons why the Wii U isn't selling the best. I hope Nintendo just sticks to something similar to the pro controller for their next console.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Yes, because all of their consoles so far had one.

Not SNES.

Iwata is still there and they have started R&D on their next console so I think its guaranteed their next console is gonna have a gimmick, and I think gimmicks in controllers are the easiest to pull off, I mean there's not a lot else to work with.  Either that or the gimmick is gonna be the portable and home console coming together, even then the portable being the controller would still count as a gimmick in the controller.

No, you will play inside your brain and it will be awesome.

Anything Nintendo does is pretty much unavoidably defined as a gimmick, so yes, it will.

"This console supports glasses-free 3D if you want, or you can ignore it." -- omg so gimmicky I don't wanna pay for that

"WE PUT A TOUCHSCREEN ON THE BACK." -- nope no gimmicks here Sony is teh hardcore

"Now there's a screen on the controller so you can play your console games while someone else uses the tv." -- casual gimmicky bullshit way too expensive

"Check this sick touchpad we put in the middle of our controller, and this cool light on the back drains the battery like crazy and can't be turned off." -- greatest controller ever

If Nintendo shifted their button placement by ten degrees it would be labelled a gimmick.

What's the point of basing an entire console on a gimmick. Consoles can patch in anything the competition does and more
