Why would Nindendo release a xbox360 clone game pad along with the tablet controller unless they they knew there was a weakness with the tablet controller?

Kind of defeats the purpose of playing the Wii U with a normal controller, no second screen or touch controls. Might as well just have a xbox360 or ps3.

Wow. That's a bigger stretch then Stretch Armstrong and he stretches 'til next week. Please, spare us of your ramblings; the Wii had options for game control besides just the Wii-mote itself, what's wrong with the Wii U doing the same?

Why did Microsoft release a motion controller unless they had no confidence in the 360 pad? Or Sony with the Eye Toy and then PS Move? It's an accessory. Just be happy you have options as a consumer.

Im afraid Sony and Microsoft are going to catch on to this, force them to buy the console with the PSmove or Kinect, then sell them the dualshock seperately.

Already have traditional controller with xbox360 and ps3. I thought the point of the Wii U was to be different and offer new experiences that you cant get with a normal controller. If i can play Assassins Creed 3 on my 360 with a normal controller, why would i buy a Wii U version just to do the same thing.

Because the Wii U version will make the 360 version look and play like sh*t.

"charge huge"? English is your first language, right? And puh-lease, you wouldn't buy any Nintendo product.

I find it pretty obvious some games will make no use of the Wii U GamePad, so this controler is a perfect option to replace it. Granted the place ment of the c-stick is weird but, who knows, it might be comfortable.

The GamePad is probaly really expensive, the Pro Controller is a cheaper multiplayer option.

Yep, plus they are offering multiple options for you, the consumer, what an insult right? :|

There already exists two stickies you can talk where you guys can talk about this. The Nintendo Pre-E3 Conference and the E3 Discussion Thread. Sticky enforcement is in full effect now.
