Скачать или смотреть Was the Wii U Gamepad Well Designed?

The Wii U was not Nintendo’s biggest success, in fact it was one of the few modern consoles we can consider to be a commercial failure. One of the reasons people share to explain why the console failed is the bad design of the Wii U Gamepad, the tablet controller bundled with the hardware. This controller is considered bulky and over complex, with gimmicks no one asked for, yet I would argue that this is not a design flaw if well implemented in the gaming experience. The Gamepad was used in many different ways, from a moderate used in games like Zelda Wind Waker, Pikmin, and Splatoon, to a heavier one like observed in Nintendo Land, Zombi U, and Star Fox Zero, and not all usages were negative. In this essay I analyse and study the design of the controller itself and the way it was used, both positive as well as negative. I hope you enjoy the video :)
