@Socar Mario Maker wouldn't be possible without the gamepad, unless you only wanted to play levels. Arguably, the best players on Splatoon are all using motion control as well.

I won't go as far to say that the gamepad was really necessary for a lot of the wiiu titles, but it was a nice compliment to many games on a system that was many great titles. I will go as far to say that despite it's underwhelming sales, the Wii U is probably my favorite Nintendo system since the SNES.

@abbyhitter its a package together.

does anyone know if using the wiiu olli olli code lets you download the game on 3ds (without having to redeem the 3ds code). i thought this game had cross platform buy, which is why I'm wondering if i can give the 3ds code away.

@Gavin_Rozee from what I understand (anyone correct me if I'm wrong), nintendo's emulator is trying to recreate the NTSC color scheme. This is vs the brighter RGB color image you would normally see from other emulators.

EDIT: GBA does not suffer from this. nintendo outsourced gba emulation to M2, who do fantastic work with ports and coding.

@BulbasaurusRex yea, the gamepad is better than most HDTVs out there. the problem with the gamepad really only lies with virtual console on the wiiu side, wii mode is fine. which kind of defeats the purpose if you want to play with gamepad controls.

@NTELLIGENTMAN well, technically virtual console is an emulator, and we know how well that turned out

@Tazcat2011 unfortunately, i couldnt tell you, i dont have any NES games on 3ds. you may be able to find info online. as far as the wiiu, image quality is not the only issue. Lag on the gamepad is an issue too. note that this isnt the gamepad's fault. regular wiiu titles and GBA on VC do not lag on the gamepad.

@retro_player_22 for most people sure, but this is subjective as many will tend to argue that scanlines (real ones) look better than the image output by an emulator.

props for mentioning the horrible NES emulation on wiiu. luckily you can still enter Wii mode and play the NES games that way

I think adding thickness can be very beneficial to us with big hands. The price is pretty steep, but that is a huge boost in life for sure.
