Huh?
Even if they had all new wiimotes only for WiiU, you still would have to go out and buy them, just like your can go out and buy Wiimotes, but now if you owned a Wii you will already have them like over 90 mil people own Wii's so thats a bunch of Wiimotes out there, Nintendo is saving people a lot of money by not forcing you to have to buy all new controllers. But yet your complaining about that LOL.
The amount of people I've heard complaining about the Wii u using Wii remotes is ridiculous

The only thing I say is they shouldve packed a Wiimote plus in the box, other then that its great it supports Wiimotes.
At the same time, I heard many complaints about Xbox 360 controllers potentially not working with Durango. It's funny how that works.The amount of people I've heard complaining about the Wii u using Wii remotes is ridiculous
This is seriously a non-issue. You couldn't play multiplayer in Wii Sports Tennis or Boxing unless you bought more controllers. It's the same with Nintendo Land. The only complaint would probably be with the three multiplayer-only games. But that's only three. It's not much different than The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past + Four Swords.The complaint is that packing in a game that focuses heavily on local multiplayer that requires Wiimotes to function is stupid. Assuming people still kept their Wiis around is as dumb as Nintendo not packing in a 3DS charger because they assume everyone still has a DS charger. And they're also assuming people upgraded to Wiimote Plus. That's a dumb assumption. Go ahead and defend that though.

Still, I don't buy the innovation of the second screen simply because you're basically only able to use one with your system. This restriction seems really crippling, and the atrocious battery life doesn't help matters. If Wii Remotes were to be depended upon so extensively, Nintendo should have at least had the foresight to make every Wii U feature compatible with the Wii Remote and given us an easy option to turn the GamePad off.
Doesn't that only turn off the screen? And as far as I know, you can't do that while watching Netflix, and you still need the GamePad to navigate the eShop and Miiverse.home button -> controllers -> turn game pad off
easy

Nintendoland is a 'core' game hiding under casual dressing.
At first I thought it'd be a boring party-game style minigame collection and then it turned out to be pretty deep and have a lot of elements of old school Nintendo design.

It's the definition of a casual game.
Nintendo fans having embraced something as simplistic as Nintendo Land as a core title is probably the most depressing thing I've seen in a while here. And I actually kind of like Nintendo Land....

That Kaz avatar will not let anyone take you seriously especially with crap like this.
With that logic, half the gaf cannot be taken seriously right now.

i'm not trying to take sides here, but couldn't you make this same argument for the wii sports games?Depends on what we mean by casual vs core here.
In terms of difficulty: A couple of minigames stay fairly middling in difficulty. Other ones, though, ramp up after you beat them the first time with the later stages.
In terms of length: Games present a short version of themselves on the first playthrough, then dump a bunch of new levels after you've proven you have a grasp of the game. I can't really call a game casual if I've noticed I suddenly spent over 2 hours playing a puzzle game.
Ninja Gaiden, ZombiU, Call of Duty are there, so there's no reason to use "people grasping for core games" digs. There's plenty of core games there and more coming soon. I'm just saying, as a developer, that Nintendoland's actual content is much more involved than the impression the box art gives you. It's advertising and initial presentation suffers from an identity crisis.
The box art says casual, the Nintendoland plaza says casual, then you get to some of the minigames and it's straight up arcade-era Nintendo design.
'As simplistic as nintendoland'? Son, you're threading uncharted waters in nothing but your underwear.Nintendo fans having embraced something as simplistic as Nintendo Land as a core title is probably the most depressing thing I've seen in a while here. And I actually kind of like Nintendo Land....
What's the problem? the wii sells : no third party. The wii U doesn't sell : no third party.

Nintendoland really is a core game in sheep's (casual, heh) clothing, and I think that was a mistake solely because the people who don't play games get it handed to them and it's not what they want. Something completely intuitive and instant like WiiSports is what they need, and while people like us can appreciate Nintendoland for it's qualities, they're just like *shrug*.

You played it, son?
It's a fun game, but to get an AAA treatment and being advertised as Wii U's flagship title for the release date? Specially if you have games like COD: Blops 2, AC3 and Zombi U at the same time?
No, not really.

I said it shouldn't be treated as an AAA title and it's quite obvious I said it's a casual game. Stop misleading my point.
They don't really have a choice, at this point they would take absolutely anything that ressembles a core game.
Looks like you are the one confused. AAA =/= core or casual. Uncharted is an AAAA game but its pretty casual.
No, you must be just bad at games.Guess difficulty has no place in your definition of casual. I couldn't get past the first fight on easy.
