That whole giant Screenthing makes no real sense to me. I know they love to shove the menus on these things but it not necessary at all. You have to look away from the action on the screen when looking at your controler, same thing happens when you just open a menu on the TV so that´s completely useless.

Apart from the fact that that thing is gigantic and looks totally uncomfortable to hold. The funny thing is, in that strange Propaganda Interview between Iwata and Miyamoto, Iwata asks "so it´s kind of like a classic controller with a screen?" and that´s EXACTLY what it is. It just makes no sense. Sure, you can make games tailored for something like that, but those will feel as forced and wrong as the whole whaggle-stuff they did with the Wii.
Best example for me: Monster Hunter. Sure, you can play it with the Remote and Nunchuck but who in their right mind wants to do that when you can just grab a controller? Works perfectly fine, as it has for the last 20 years.

I don´t get it. Gimmicky and useless. AND expensive to replace once your tablet-controllerthing breaks which it will after a few years I guess.
