And even in slower paced situations, having to regularly trade focus between the screen that is 12 feet away (TV) and the one that is 1.5 feet away (Gamepad) just kinda messes with your eye focus. It's not as easy as it sounds, especially if you're involved in a fast chase or being pursued and have to look down at the map to plan your destination route while you're driving. I know it sounds lazy but it's kind of a drag to have to look down to see the map, then look back at the tv again. Playing games like Lego City Undercover, which relies on the Gamepad for the map.
It was such a bold and frankly, weird direction Nintendo chose to go with this generation of console. Now that we've had some time to try out the features, I have mixed feelings about the gamepad. Philosophy Nintendo is going for would fit in with my lifestyle very comfortably.
I'm surfing the net during commercialīreaks, or looking up stuff. Nowadays I almost always have my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 I have to admit handhelds have become my favourite consoles, so this got me so hyped and intrigued. Basically, this is a handheld-ification of a home console. Being able to use touch, having a second screen ala a tablet while gaming, and being able to transfer some entire games to the gamepad screen. When the Wii U gamepad features were first laid out by Nintendo, I was very excited.
