The AR display is the least compelling part of Pokemon Go. The success is the location-based gameplay.

I'd argue that location-based gameplay is AR as much as taking pictures of rattatas in laundry hampers.

So on the one hand, I'm impressed that "here's what's in my pockets" started off a tangent that went on this long.

I don't know if this is a condition unique to the Nintendo handheld threads, but every so often goons will start talking about pants pockets and it just never ends. Do the Vita threads have this problem?

The Wii U Gamepad is good, I love being able to use it to view maps, character stats, and read texts in my favorite game, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. Being able to check a map or futz with my inventory while on the go in Wind Waker HD was pretty great, too.

The high-cap battery should have come standard, but I'm not sure how a company could both make the gamepad an add-on peripheral and do more cool stuff with it. If it didn't come standard nobody would have done much of anything with it.

Not to mention the games that required it would probably have not sold half as well. What would Splatoon have looked like if you had to purchase a relatively expensive peripheral to play it?

Good points, but I think that you would have to design games to be fun & functional without the tablet, but make it so that the tablet offers a superior play experience that will tempt people to buy it.

Nobody but Nintendo itself would have incentive to add any kind of gamepad support, and the gamepad would be pretty expensive for a controller, probably over $100 USD. I just don't think there's a market for that.

This is probably old news, but I noticed the players in the video for Mario Kart were drifting, and those joy-cons have to have shoulder buttons right where they connect to the battery pack or tablet. Then again, it's just a promotional video, but this would be amazingly innovative if true.

The joycons each have one trigger and one shoulder buttons that, when mounted to the tablet, are on the top. You can see them most clearly in the image here pointing out the game card and the one showing off the kickstand.

It isn't terrible if you buy the bigger battery, which completely fills the compartment. Should have come standard imho.

Funnily enough, the new iPhone 7 doesn't have USB-C. Which doesn't fit well with the new USB-C only MacBooks they revealed today.

Need to have those lightning cables so they can get manufacturers on the MFi certification program.

Meanwhile I'm wishing there was a certification process for USB because turns out any yahoo with a few dollars to spare can toss a jumble of wires together and call it USB-C and the only thing keeping me from buying a cable that burns my phone out is a Google engineer's Amazon reviews.
