Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze doesn't bother with the GamePad screen at all
Nintendo's next big Wii U release doesn't bother to use the GamePad for anything.
Every Wii U game uses the GamePad in some way, even if it's as meaningless as putting a giant horn button a la Mario Kart 8. But Nintendo's next big Wii U release doesn't bother to use the GamePad for anything.
"It's just blank," Eurogamer says, noting that developer Retro couldn't be bothered to come up with a gimmick for the console's second screen. The game does support off-TV play, however, meaning you'll be able to play on the GamePad screen when your TV is off or being used by someone else.
Given Nintendo's woes with Wii U, many have recommended removing GamePad integration with the console. Games like Donkey Kong Country could easily be a sign of things to come.

I've said this a thousand times. Nintendo needlessly made their Wii U system a loss lead for this controller. It's an awesome device and Nintendo has no clue what to do with it.

Yeah it's a shame Ubisoft knows how to do more with it than Nintendo does.
-
Agreed, if they don't need it, don't half ass it.
Man they need to release an FPS or RPG that utilizes the gamepad like the battlequest game in Nintendoland. That was the best couch coop I've ever had, and it was still lame in that you couldn't move your characters. But having the extra screen just screams for some awesome two player RPG or FPS where you can move independently.

Really it's more on the fact that Nintendo releases hardware with the intention to create a paradigm shift in how to play games. That's how they justify the weaker hardware to keep pace with the competitors and stand themselves apart.
The problem is not that they aren't using the screen controller with a classic Donkey Country style gameplay. The problem is that they've been only making classic style gameplay games. Where's the paradigm shift? Where's the innovation? One can argue, "who cares? As long as the game is good." and that's a solid point but the counter point is easy. Nintendo cares. They may be good games but they aren't appealing or exciting enough to move systems off the shelf.

Tiger Woods on the Wii is the best golf game ever, so you're cluesless about the Wii motion plus. That's not even counting the improvements to the sports / resort games. I'm guessing you're just trolling about the Wii U tablet because that thing is fucking awesome for just about everything.
-
I actually think they should ditch the tablet and pack it with a gamepad. I heard the thumb triggers on the current gamepad are digital rather than analog, which makes it unsuitable for driving games, so I think they need to do a revision of that.
One of the issues the tablet has is that you always see only one of them with the console. It sort of creates the perception that Wii U gaming is a single player affair.-
Why do people keep making this awful suggestion when it will never happen?

One game doesn't use the tablet and the world is falling in. ZombiU, Rayman, Pikmin, Monster Hunter Tri, Wind Waker, Resident Evil Revelations, Deus Ex and others all use the tablet in cool ways. In my opinion all games don't need it. 3D World didn't need it and the screen should have been blank.

None of those are useless. Insufficiently utilized in games, yes. But all of them add legitimate capabilities to the system.
-
I just wish they had that policy for the last Donkey Kong game for the wii, mainly no shaking gimmick. I refused to buy that game because of it.
-
The gamepad should have been an optional accessory for off-TV play. I can't think of any good game that makes any kind of meaningful use of it at all.

yeah i got it free as part of a gamestop promotion, so i hope it's good.

I haven't played DKC Returns yet, just got it on 3DS, but a lot of people loved it. They said it's definitely old school with it's platforming and challenge. So I'm pretty optimistic if this one is similar.
-
It's very awesome on 3DS, but then I went back and played it on Wii and 60fps really makes the game more enjoyable. It's sub-30 on 3DS.
-
Sub-30! ewwwwwwww
-
It's not really an issue, the game is still amazing and it looks awesome in 3D. But compared to 60.... you know. I am an FPS snob though.

I'm surprised a game like Dungeon Land has been ported to the Wii U... or at least a concept similar exploding on that system.
-
WTF Nintendo. The controller creates the bulk of the expense for the system and then you're not even fucking going to use it? This is insane. Why the fuck would you create a entire console centered around a feature and then pretty much ignore that feature altogether?
I don't understand what they are thinking at all.-
Maybe I'm overreacting, there are some games that use the GamePad well apparently, but "blank" is pathetic, especially from a first party game. No DS/3DS game ever leaves one screen blank. Put SOMETHING on it.
-
I completely agree with you. The entire system was supposed to be centered around the new controller and the new game play features it offers. I feel like Nintendo should just give up on the gamepad and relaunch the system for $200 including a game and a wii remote plus + nunchuck combo.

Idgi- there were Ds games that didn't really use both screens that were awesome. We didn't care about that. There were Ds games that basically were all touch. We didn't care. Then there were games who used both and again - no fucks given.
It was all about how good the game was.
Ps give me meteos on wii u now fuck faces.-
Because some people just really hate Nintendo no matter what. That would be my guess.
