Whats the point of having touchscreen if you can't use it when the unit is docked, they would have to program the games to have an input method that is not used all the time, guess people like options. Touchscreen games though, urk...

It's okay if you are using it as a portable. But I don't want touchscreen controls in my console games. I just want to use the sticks and buttons on the controller.

MrMagz3395d ago

The touchscreen wouldn't just help with games. The operating system of the Wii U is one of the easiest to used and streamlined that I have every used because you can easily type and operate menus by using the touch screen. They can easily use it in some games too, but having the ease of operation on the go will be very convenient.

What if I told the touch function is disable during games

deafdani3394d ago

I'm thinking that the touch screen would be meant to be used for Miiverse interaction and web browser in portable mode, not for the actual games. I'd be a-OK with this.

That very well may be the case. But you won't be able to use it when it's docked and in console mode.

Which makes me very, very happy. You don't see a touchscreen on the controller, do you?

I still own those systems, and many games that were built for them.
Thank you for an amazing part of my childhood.
Rest in Peace Legend.

He joined SEGA in 1971, wow. The Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast hold the best memories for me, more so the Mega Drive. Thanks for the memories, Hideki-sama.

Sega's swan song, their best and most memorable console, the dreamcast. it will last for generations

ZycoFox15h ago

Dreamcast was a very good console, with some minor setbacks, no 2nd stick and could've used a bit more disc space. The main thing that let it down was support, the short time it was on the market it did still bring in a bunch of really good titles, if only it had another 2-3 years and more longer story based games as well as the arcade games.

I would say because of the above the Mega Drive / Genesis is probably their best, simply because of the wide range of support and amount of quality games.

Yeah also massive mega drive fan it's my favourite to

Loktai5h ago

there was a point in time where the DC was meant to have a MATROX gpu possibly, as well as other contenders and if it had along with a possible DVD drive and price hike it would be a totally different beast.

RaiderNation5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Yeah, I loved the Dreamcast, but massive oversight not including a right analog stick. A very strange design decision considering that dual analog was already standardized by Sony during the PS1 generation. Virtual On was literally unplayable on the controller because of it.

^ I had Virtua On and loved it.. what made it unplayable?
