@creative92 Can't come up with creative ways to use the gamepad? Oh come on! Where do I start? How about put it beside you and use it like a shifter in a car by drawing shift motions on the screen? How about using it in conjunction with the tv for surprises and scares in horror games? How about using it in a game like star fox to view around your cockpit in 3dimensions? How about drawing on the screen? How about using the gamepad like a mouse for selection in rpgs? Foosball was really creative in wii party u. Okami-like commands in W101 were creative. Trauma Team-like games.
@X-Factor It probably is. Even if it isn't, you'd need a microscope to find much difference technically. So where's the biggest difference? The stuff they never talk about - the dual screen experience, the miiverse experience.
@Falchion Here's the catch 22 you're describing: 1) Nintendo competitors pay so-called "reviewers" to talk trash about Nintendo-related things. 2) Inevitably some people believe these "reviewers." 3) Nintendo competitors achieve less demand for Nintendo. 4) Developers get scared to put the time needed into a port. 5) Start all over again.
It's exactly like a political campaign of BS. The sad part is so many people believe BS.
@cyrus_zuo TOTAL negative bias toward Nintendo in American and British media.
By the way metacritic has become a joke. They've basically become for games what Yelp has become for restaurant reviews. Most sane people will give a 10s and 9s, then they'll have a trolls who gives it 5s and 6s just to bring their average score down. Take all Nintendo related scores with TON of salt, because of the looney toon "reviewers" out there.
@I-AM-REGGIE @SavantSupreme I agree. People who can not form their own opinions and need others to tell them what to think are weak. Sorry to say, but that's true. But unfortunately the mountain of misinformation leveled against Nintendo is so high, that it's only solidifying my support for the only console system that continually demonstrates a strong independent streak, gaming based on fun, creativity, and inventiveness rather than stooping to relying on rigging media outlets to misinform consumers and developers about their competitors.
In short, seeing all these low blows thrown only makes me root for the only guy who is fighting a clean fight.
@Einherjar That's a good point. Even if it were true the Wii U version has more frame rate drops, that doesn't mean the Wii U is to be blamed. How about the developer?
By the way I haven't noticed any horsepower issues at all. And I certainly haven't noticed any horsepower issues to claim, as one reviewer said, the Wii U version is "not recommendable".
That's just pure inventing a problem to blow out of proportion.
@AdanVC It's a media-induced condition. Competitors pay to FLOOD media outlets with biased and negative opinions about the state of wii u 3rd party support and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, because, lo and behold the continuous stream of BS scares off companies from making quality games in the first place, let alone allow consumers to buy them.
It's funny (or sad) how some people get a knee-jerk reaction against reading! 999 is heavy in reading but everybody loves it. Besides, comic books, manga are books and the minimally literate crowd don't mind them. In short, it's how entertaining and tailored to the Wii U console that would determine how people will receive it.
I can think of tons of really cool ways to integrate usage of the gamepad! For the most part Developers haven't scratched the surface of the usefulness and coolness of the gamepad yet with the exception of Game & Wario, W101, NLand.
Just imagine using the gamepad in horror game genre, racing, puzzle, rpg, mystery, drawing, how about Trauma Center, I can go on and on - I can't believe so many developers put the game map on there and call it a day. Use some creativity, people!

Re: Japan Getting Two New 3DS Colours, Pure White and Clear Black
I'll be honest. The only reason I haven't bought a 3DS XL is because it doesn't come in white yet.
Re: Why the White 3DS XL Didn't Ship to Europe or North America
The only reason why I haven't bought a 3DS XL is because it's not offered in white.

Re: Exclusive: Nintendo Bringing Back WiiWare Demos
If all the wiiware games had demos, wouldn't that solve the weak marketing complaint from developers?
