NX to be announced before E3?

It won't play Wii U games

It might digitally. But that wouldn't do any good for people who already have a wii u with physical discs.

I just don't see them going with a tablet controller again.

Luckily there are very few games that use it.

If it plays 3ds and wii u games

would make sense that it does

also bet it can be taken portable and played through your other consoles.

I hated that large arse gamepad though.

Not many games forced you to use it though. You could have easily bought a Pro controller which is actually a fantastic option.

So now you have to invest even more into the platform just to have a controller that doesn't suck

Any console comes with one controller nowadays. Microsoft sells media remotes and packages the kinect (paying more money for something most people dislike), etc.

Let's not act like Nintendo is alone in making it difficult to buy a single console box and being happy with it.

Other consoles come with a serviceable controller though.

The gamepad is serviceable. Ideal? Maybe not. Serviceable, yes.

People who complain so much about the gamepad are just looking for something to complain about imo, because they are mad about other things with the Wii U, lack of power, 3rd party support, Nintendo's own 1st party release schedule, etc. These are all valid problems.

Kinect is a good example of a bad idea that Microsoft later took out. Nintendo isn't the only one to make the mistake but Microsoft fixed theirs before it was too late.

Nintendo is stubborn, this nothing new. And again, it has served as a virtue more often than not.

Look at the DS, no one thought that would work at the time. Two screens? Huh, why? Then for a few years....
