Im starting to think that developers and maybe many gamers would have prefered just the console and the pro controler. After all, to play games its all you need. I consider gaming to be a passtime, as is tennis, horse riding, or chess. All you need to get the best out of ur pass time is the basic equiptment, tennis = a racket and ball, horse riding = A horse and reigns, chess = a board and peices, gaming = a game and a controler! I understand inovation and progress, but as gamers we just wanna play games. Nintendo games. I have an i phone which i love to play quick games on, and my wii to play proper console games, the wii mote and nunchuck arnt gimmicks anymore, i prefer them to pads now, MW3 with the remote kicks a pads ass, but as different as it is its still at heart, simply a controler. Ive said this b4 but if u r playing a shooter for example, you DO NOT want to look down, so although im yet to try it, my brain cant get it. Anyway im hyped for the wii u and its a day one buy for me, i just wish i was given the choice to buy the console and a old school controller so i can play games the way i and millions others do. P.s i aint trolling.

I though that at first, but then I realized that it's a Nintendo console, they ALWAYS have to make it unique

[Nintendustin]

I plan to use both, so it's no big issue.

Ok but they gave us the wii mote only a few years ago, which i think rocks a controler, why not improve tht and offer the game pad as an extra?

The dancing troll face allows me to say any negative thing i want about Nintendo and the Wii itself...



But anyways Nintendo was going to make the Wii U without the gamepad but then they did a little research and found this thing >>>




So then they decided they needed to throw in some form of gimmick to differentiate themselves

Hey i like ps3, its a simple games machine, like the nes, snes, n64, gamecube, all of which helped mould that machine, and like it or not sony wanted to be like nintendo in there own way. But withthe the pro pad i can play all the games the ps3 can in the future AND Nintendo ip's but with better graphics

If people dont wanna use the Gamepad then they can use the Pro controller. The Pro would limit them for some games but if that is what they want then fine.

Cause theyre not innovating... theyre recycling...
were not microsoft or sony...

[Caius Casshern Sins]

The gamepad as an extra wouldn't last long at all. The support for it will dwindle fast just like other Wii extras. When packed in support is granted.

I get that, totaly, and it opens up a whole new way to play, great, but when it comes to playiing fifa, tekken, battlefield, even mario in my opinion, all u need is a great controler (which nintendo are best at) a big tv and ur hands, tell me truthfully that u hink while playing either online or just at home with friends, a fast paced game like the titles named above, looking away from the action is a good idea?

[Crackkat]

why? how is the pro controller at all better than the gamepad? the only time im ever going to use the pro controller is for local split screen, otherwise why would i use an inferior controller? just doesn't make sense to me. if its a game where u specifically want NOT to use a second screen then simply use the gamepad's buttons only and dont use the second screen haha its so simple. yet you still get the advantage of a built in microphone for voice chat

EXACTLY! If it really worked and improved gameplay id make MYchoice and buy one as wud all gamers who could afford it. The wii mote and pro pad would be just fine by me

It wouldnt work and improve gameplay if it wasnt mandatory because barely any developers would use it and it would die, by making it mandatory it has to get support so it will be successful... If you dont wanna use a gamepad so badly then dont use one there are 2 other alternative controller options... and if you do despise the thought of it so much then just get a 360 or ps3 because they will get the same 3rd party games, the Wii U is not some cutting edge tech, its 7.5 gen at most and it will be "more powerful" than the ps3 but its not so far advanced that your mind will be blown... the rumored price of $250 to $300 should tell you alot. either accept the fact thats its got a gamepad controller or get a console that doesnt have one

I do understand and if a games made with the gamepad in mind great. But generaly for most big cross platform games the game pad will be used as a big standard controler. And voice chat will clearly be better with an ear peice.

how does that explain why using a pro controller would be better than using the gamepad?
