With the Wii
U, Nintendo tried to innovate with the Gamepad, but while the controller is indeed innovative, it was too late into the ipad/tablet generation to make a real impact; that along with Nintendo's own mismanagement of the entire advertising. The Wii U Gamepad for example works best with a couple types of games, like Deus
Ex (inventory, map, and the hacking is awesome) and Super Mario Maker where you have direct control of making the levels with only the Gamepad making it truly possible.
While it is true that Nintendo needs to have the competitive specs for the NX (something basically equal to PS4 to get by) it also must have an innovative advantage that makes sense to use for all games, something automatic that the console just "does" that the others can't do. Not a controller where the developer is stuck trying to figure it out and just giving up and making a standard game just like the other consoles; this has happened to the largest degree with the Wii U Gamepad being ignored, relegated to just off-screen play or a secondary map.
Think about the Nintendo 64 for moment. Most games (besides d-pad fighting games) the N64 controlled better at 3D racers, platformers and shooters than the PS1. The PS1 had a lot of the same games, but most would agree that they were better controlled at the time on the N64.

That is what the NX needs to do, bring a change but not drastic enough to make games not usable without completely changing them so they work on the system (see Wii/Wii U). Make a controller interface that is better than Xbox One and better than the PS4 for the games we are playing today, while still having it be able to create new experiences not found on the competition, this way even if Third Parties don't use some of the unique features of the NX controller or interface, they still get the "edge" of what the system can do automatically.
(Why not build and make better than ever what we already have?)
This would be the crucial part of the Nintendo NX that could separate itself as the better choice in playing modern video games. This is the challenge Nintendo has with the NX, all while being able to communicate it in an easy to understand way for the market to respond favorably and build demand.

wiius control options are exactly whats needed in gaming
the issue is more lazyness and fanboys (the internet is ful of these braindead so called gamers)
take splatoon
it uses the touch screen as a touch map and in game map and sound feedback expanding on this is a opton ad the gyroscope mouse that destroys twin analog stick aiming
take pes ps4 and fifa ps4 and pc and xbone my point is this
in pes wii you controlled the enire soccer team by combining mouse point drag and motion with anolog stick PRESTO THE MOST ADVANCED TEAM SPORT GAMES IN EXISTENCE
ps4 has the same ps1 casual RETARDED controls of contolling just one team member
pes wii was revolutionary
pikmin cmpare wi and wii motion plus to twin anolog the wii remote option allows total fluid control of every single pikmin on screen again great use of mouse pointing
take snes mouse the mouse games on SNES had more total screen control than standard DPAD
GAMERS (REAL GAMERS) NOT MINDLESS FANBOYS KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE !!!!!!!!
we need anolog stick mouse and butons combined into a do it all controller gamepad has this and a touch screen
theres optins that make sense
TAKE THAT THIRD PARTY PAD THE WII CONTROLER U YES IT HAD TERRIBLE BUILD QOALITY BUT IT HAD EVERYTHING
wii motion plus bult in a ir mouse pointer built in and a snas pad dpad and buttons and two anolog sticks
PRESTO A PRO PAD AND A WII REMOTE PLUS ALL COMBINED INTO ONE the only thing missing is a touch screen
by doing this you can play say cod in a wii remote meets x3760 pad style combining the mouse pointer with the sticks and buttons PRESTO BEST FPS CONTROLS ON THE PLANET
another option is is the same thing again that splits into two
then when split you not only have all the pro pad style layout and the pinter and the motion you have a two handed PRO MOUSE PAD A SYTSEM
LIKE A WI REMOTE AND CHCUK
THIS WOULD GIE YOU TWO ANOLOG STICKS BUTTONS A IR MOUSE POINTER AND A 9AXIS GYRO IN EACH HAND
another thing about gamepad people sem inept at understanding is this
YOU DONT NEED GTO HOLD IT TO USE IT
EXAMPLE
HAVE A WII REMOTE AND CHUCK OPTION CONTROLLING STAR FOX OR SPORTS TEAM GAMES OR FPS WITH A MOUSE PINT AND MOTION AND ANLOG STICK
THEN HAVE TACTICAL MAPS AND TOUCH INTERACTION AND SECOND TACTICAL SCREEN BY YOUR SIDE
SO LETS PUT THIS INTO A SIMPLE USE
FIFA OR PES
HAVE THE TOTAL TEAM control of pes wii and have managment tactics and info on the gamepad like formation player info
then when going to off tv mode your stylus acts as a wii remote and you can continue playing with the so caled playmaker controls
THIS IS ALL COMMONSENSE TO ANY SELF RESPECTING>>>GAMER<<<<<
IM SICK OF THE DUALSHOCK FANBOYS TRING TO KEP GAMING IN THE PREHISTORIC PAST
IM SICK OF THE INDUSTRY STUCK IN A PS1 BUSSINESS MODEL OF CUT SCENE AND QTE AND OUT DATED INTERACTION
THIS GEN HAS GONE BACKWARDS NOT FORWARDS !!!!!!!!
best fps controls ever
cod blops 1 and mw3 wii
metroid prime 3 and trillagy
cunduit
mm precise mouse pointing sweet anolog movement and no janky camera just a smooth sweet cinematic moving camera
give me a pro pad with 9axis gyroscope and ir pointer built in THAT WOULD BE AMAZING or the same again with a smalll touch screen so we have a gamepad PLUS thats about the same size as a pro pad
this isnt rocket science its COMMONSENSE
star fox zero is shifsy forcing gamepad in a gimmickyy way
what he should have done is combined the gyroscope and stick in to a flight and shoot control EVOLVED SPLATOON
and used te touch screen as a bomber radar drone etc screen like a real war pilot in say a fighter jet PRESTO GREAT FIGHER PILOT CONTROLS
OR
WII REMOTE AND CHUCK FOR FLIGHT AND SHOT AND HAVE A MOTION AND STICJ FLIGHT CONTROL LIKE A REAL PILOT
THEN GAMEPAD COULD SIMPLY BE USED BY YOUR SIDE AS A TACTUICAL SCREEN FOR DROPPING BOMBS OR FINDING THINGS ON RADAR
the secret is KEEP IT SIMPLE BUT MAKE IT ADVANCED AND PICK UP AND PLAY THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT Wii did....
GOING BACK TO ONE ANOLOG STICK WITH GYRO AND IR POINTER WOULD ALSO MAKE SENSE
