Kind of funny , as not that many that previewed the game used the Wiiu pad , but a controller and the game is still bland and borring.

And it seems you can connect a mc/kb to the Wiiu?

Or i didn't understand that part.

Basically:

Nintendo: "**** your game"

Itagaki: "**** your controller"

Ah, the Wii U gamepad which apparently is 80% of the whole system. Mine is broken and getting it fixed by Nintendo would cost 160 Euro. For 200 Euro I can get a new Wii U Basic including a gamepad. Screw you, Nintendo.

Let's be honest. The gamepad was a bad idea.

Of course he doesn't like the gamepad. It's goddamn terrible. It takes a deeply disturbed person, or @charizard1605 to actually like that trash.

@Ant_17: He already stated the controller will be a key form of communication in multiplayer. Either you use the Gamepad, or you get yourself a Pro Controller and Keyboard, of course the keyboard is superior, thats common sense when chating with others.

@mesome713: Sure , but he's telling that the pad is the worse pick out of the other 2.

That's like telling me the Move is good to play RE5 on the PS3.

Lol I also like the gamepad, sure most games only use it for off tv play but when your wife wants to watch TV all the time it works great.

I not likey the way his game looks, it's been 5 years since the game's reveal and the game has only managed to look worse.

He should suck up his pride and go ask for his old job back.

@charizard1605: "I don't hate it" is maybe the best compliment I'm willing to give it. Most games I opt for the Pro controller, but you know how terrible a hard-on I have for that, so perhaps I am discredited.

I like the gamepad as well. I have no idea why people endlessly bitch about it. The standard controller does feel better, but I'm convinced that people will bitch about anything that's not a standard controller. Gamers can be extremely close-minded and resistant to change.

The way the gamepad was implemented with the Wii U was really flawed and not entirely well thought out (ie How it can break and ruin the entire or system or how it affected the system's price)

The gamepad itself is pretty great though. As a controller it is adequate and I like that I have the option to play games either on the TV or on the gamepad and play it more like a handheld. It's cool that you could play a game you want on the gamepad while others can watch TV (never really been in that situation myself, but still).

The gamepad sure did effect the Wii U's price in a bad way. They need to make a controller that is not expensive.

Gyroscope aiming is one of the benefits of the Gamepad, but apparently this game doesn't use it.

Yea good about time someone like him call it out...though abit late. Its very expensive & doesn't really get use except the normal controller side...Pro Controller with gyro would have been a better option. :P

I'm sure using the gamepad will subtract from this masterpiece lol From the gameplay i've seen of it, it looks bad all around. It may be so bad its good type of thing, but its probably going to end up just terrible.

It is pretty freakin limited for a wide variety of genres, and the company behind the device made a whopping 1 game that has actually shown significant use of that pad. Super Mario 3D Worlds uses are pointless, Smash out right doesn't need it, ditto for Kart.

So what you're left with from Nintendo's standpoint is Nintendoland (which as a minigame collection isn't nearly as compelling as Wii Sports), and ....Splatoon, and even that is a map you get to look at, the actual motion controls aspect of it is frankly terrible. It's like a poor man's mouse.

Beyond that you have Affordable Space Adventures and Zombie U which actually are more profound uses of that hardware, so it's not necessarily that gamers are shit. It is as always the company trying to selling the thing is actively doing a pretty shitty job selling the thing. Shit they were bad at this stuff when the DS was doing its thing, it wasn't their games that truly shined when it came to why the DS dual screen stuff was great. It was a bunch of third party stuff that used it in clever ways.
