@bunchanumbers:
A pokemon amiibo line... good god that would be a lot of useless plastic and wasted money. I mean holy shit. Skylanders was a plague to gaming, but you want 700+ of those damn things? That is one of the dumbest things I have ever read on this forum.
the idea of multiple gamepad's are irrelevant when you can't do anything interesting with a single gamepad besides touch and map screens. For single player. For multiplayer, yeah, we could've had some more interesting things. We still can, next gen if Nintendo does something smart for once and makes their next handheld an optional second screen to the console, which will be the only financially feasible way of doing what you want.
In fact, the asynchronous gameplay already shows potential even with 1 gamepad for multiplayer, like the bowser gameplay in Mario Party or Mario and sonic at the winter olympic games.
But for single player, when I want to be engrossed in an experience, having to go between 2 screens is a disjointed mess. Wanting to shoehorn that crap in to games is one thing that really hurt W101.
Which is one reason I won't play captain toad, among basic design failures like moving the camera with the gyroscope and stick at the same time. Though I see the appeal.
