When in the start up menu, turn on your Pro Controller and Press X to swap the TV with the Gamepad screens. The left stick becomes a finger which you can use to select things similar to using the stick on the Guitar Hero Guitar for the Wii. You still need the Gamepad for things like Miiverse, but to go straight to the game, it's not required. --- End quote --- Nice, I personally use the gamepad at the start up and in general when I play, but options are nice. --- Quote from: Seraph Man on April 27, 2015, 09:35:53 AM --- --- Quote from: FritzWhite on April 27, 2015, 04:45:13 AM ---They need something besides Amiibos to pump their image. --- End quote --- Unfortunately, the Amiibos are the hot, new thing for Nintendo, and the Gamepad is the only way to use them on the Wuu. --- End quote --- Amibos are a good thing for Nintendo. My argument is that selling more Wii U systems would be even better. A less expensive system will give them a big sales boost. --- Quote from: Seraph Man on April 27, 2015, 09:35:53 AM --- --- Quote from: FritzWhite on April 27, 2015, 04:45:13 AM ---Edit: They should drop region locking. --- End quote --- That's something we can all get behind. I remember once, a while back, hearing something to the extent that the Wuu would support up to 2 Gamepads, though it'd only come with one, and eventually you'd be able to buy a second. This never came to fruition, but if it had, I believe they would have eventually released a version of the Wuu with a Pro Controller instead of a Gamepad, and just have certain features disabled until one gets linked to the console, ie. Miiverse. But yes, if they provide consumers with a version that does not have a Gamepad, the few 3rd parties that develop for the system will just stop all focus on the Gamepad, with very minor exceptions. We do need more games that really take advantage of the Gamepad, but those games are almost always going to be single player games. Nintendoland proved you can make games that are multiplayer and use the Gamepad uniquely, but as far as I can see, it's the only game that did so, until Kirby's Rainbow Curse. --- End quote --- 2 years ago I wouldn't argue that that the gamepad should be made optional for fear that 3rd party support for it would drop, but at this point, there isn't much to lose. This doesn't seem likely to change either. Who else besides Ubisoft and of course Nintendo has really done anything interesting with it? It's unfortunate that there isn't better 3rd party support, but Nintendo has made a good number of exclusives that utilize the gamepad and making it optional at this point isn't going to prevent a great 3rd party game from being released that otherwise would have been made. The systems been out too long and hasn't sold well enough. I like drawing platforms in Kirby, but I think that game would have benefitted from Wii Remote support for single player, similar to a game called Ivy the Kiwi?. As it is, you really only look at the gamepad while playing and having the option to play while looking at the TV would be neat. |
