I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.

Hello, someone disparaged the squid jump control scheme in Splatoon, saying they could just have ignored the second screen and used a combination of buttons to do the same. That's turbo nerd talk. If the casual console player would have the option to either use the screen or the buttons, they'd most likely just use the screen. See a Squid you want to jump to? Press it on the screen. That kind of simple and intuitive design was probably part of the reason why it became such a huge hit with a large variety of demographies. They don't want to suddenly learn Street Fighter combos just to do a simple long jump.

There's no such thing as a "casual console player" anymore. If they've made the leap to playing games on something other than their phone, they can use a drat controller.

I liked using the two screens for local co-op, and also, for having maps/inventory easily accessible on one screen at all times, and also, for being able to ignore the tv altogether for some games and just play on the gamepad for stuff like hyrule warriors that lets you switch which screen is the main screen

Mouse-like control on a pull-up map for when you want to jump, hotkeys could be assigned for teammates to instantly just go to them. It's really not that hard.

Why would anyone want to open their product open to other markets other than the one with the lowest hardware sales this generation? Crazy talk right there.

If someone sends Nintendo a link to this thread do you think they will release information early to avoid gamers going to war against each other over things like analog sticks?

Video games are fun. But what's even more fun than playing video games is the 2560 CUDA® cores that you can only find on NVIDIA’s new flagship graphics card, the GEFORCE® GTX 1080, now with PASCAL, the world’s most advanced GPU architecture!

Video games are going out of style. That's why Nintendo decided to blow everyone's asses off and introduce the Nintendo Read, the ONLY way to read all the latest books and magazines.

Tera-floating point operations per second. Meaning it can do 240 calculations with non-whole (IEEE floating point) numbers every second, which is what most scientific and graphical calculations use.
