LMAO so Mario Kart's Tablet function is a horn?

[QUOTE="HalcyonScarlet"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"]So what exactly were you expecting?LegatoSkyheart

For them to prove the functionality of a tablet controller maybe?

Like Sony has to prove the functionality of the Back Touch Screen on the Vita?

It's not a main feature they were banging on about unlike Nintendo and their Wii U control pad.

[QUOTE="Shottayouth13-"]What did you want them to do with it? It doesn't break the experience. You don't really have time during Mario Kart to take your eye off the screen. And you can also play on the controller by itself.GD1551

I want them to do something meaningful with the tablet controls. It was the reason the console was priced so highly.

[QUOTE="GD1551"]

[QUOTE="soulitane"]Not every game asks for something important to be done with the controller, just like how the xbox one games didn't all focus on kinect (thankfully).LegatoSkyheart

There's no game that does anything important with teh controller. It's the Wii mote all over again.

You mean like how SO many games on the DS (and 3DS) used the 2nd Touch Screen?

It releases next year sometime in the spring so I highly doubt anything is close to being finalized nor did Nintendo demo everything they intend to do with Mario Kart 8 including Gamepad functions.

I swear System Wars get dumber and dumber everytime I visit it...

What was wrong with the minimap? I'll probably just use standard controls.darkspineslayer

MK can have good integration, a rear view mirror on button press for starters.

Really? I don't even hold sony in high regard, they are the best out of the lot, that's the only reason to support them over the others.

Then why bother having it? We were promised gameplay innovations with it. Why not leave the controller off and make the console cheaper?

What else would it be? It's such a simple game. Besides driving controls you have a ton of buttons left to use a power up.LustForSoul

There is no game that uses the tablet function in a meaningful way.

They had a little button on the bottom right side of the screen and their is another option aswell.

I kind've wished it Mario Kart was like Double Dash where you can use the gamepad as the person that throws the items.

$350 just to have a touch screen horn....

If Nintendo would drop the stupid tablat, add their pro controller to the system instead, then turn around and sale the Wii U with at least a 120 gig HD for $249 I would be all over it.

innovation!

is it just me who probably sees this is pretty fun lol.

When i play mariokart, i don't have time to look away from the screen. 

What do you expect from a racing game? You use left, right, go and use-item. This seems like a childish complaint.foxhound_fox

Try reading the thread instead of being a clown.

I predict the same fate for the PS4's touchpad.

a rear mirror would much much more awesome !

I see predict the same fate for the PS4's touchpad. PSP107

It's a steering wheel, map, and horn yes.

KungfuKitten

That's what I was thinking.

I didn't like the MKWii wheel but the Wii U game pad may be a lot better.

[QUOTE="PSP107"]I see predict the same fate for the PS4's touchpad. AmnesiaHaze

This is a giant leap forward for the next generation of consoles. I can't believe that no one can see it

not every game needs tablet functionality just because it's on the wii u, just like not every game needs motion controls just because it's on the wii. it's that simple.BrunoBRS

The problem is, no game has meaningful functionality with the tablet controller.

Kinect isn't the basis of the X1, sorry dude. N literally banked on the tablet controller, and delivered an underpowered console at a high price point because of it.
