The Wii U's 6.2-inch killer
feature might look a whole lot like a tablet, but prospective buyers shouldn't
expect it to function like one at all. In a recent interview with
Kotaku, NOA prexy Reggie Fils-Aime
confirmed that multi-touch capabilities will indeed be purposefully absent from
the upcoming GamePad.
It's a puzzling omission for sure, but not one made lightly on Nintendo's part.
According to Fils-Aime, the existence of hardware buttons on the controller
itself render that full-blown slate functionality redundant, not to mention
cost-prohibitive and "unwieldy." So you see, the Big N giveth and the Big N
taketh away, but all in the name of user convenience. You can check out the full
blow-by-blow with
