    This has a pressure based touch screen… WTF! How stupid does Nintendo have to be to make another device with the same cheap piece of crap technology, why haven’t they bloody gone capacitive you MORONS?!

    I absolutely think the controller is ugly as all hell but the screen was the nail. Sorry Nintendo, your designers are complete numb skulls that should be punished for this junk!

      One, it’s to keep the price down. Two, capacitive is extremely fragile.

        And 3. Everybody who uses an idevice wants pressure sensitivity but can’t have it.

          4: Capacitive screens are shit.

          So, SO glad to hear Nintendo is using a proper touchscreen.

      It’s got buttons.

      The buttons are the main method of control, not the touchscreen.

    Capacitive touch screens usually use glass don’t they? That would not be a good mix with a controller that may or may not be dropped constantly.

    Okay, so the system itself seems as though it won’t cost too much, but the controllers… They’ll be a nightmare to buy.

    sooo… does this mean you can only sync one of these to a wii u at once?

    In one of those pictures I see 1 Wii U controller and 4 Wii controllers, however the screen is only split into 4. Does this mean the player on the Wii U controller gets their screen on the tablet? If so that’d be pretty cool, no more complaining of screen hunters.

      That seems to be the case from various demos I’ve seen so far.

    And I thought the NGP was an all in one gadget.
