Nintendo should go back to using a standard controller for their next console...

New Super Mario

They're kind of digging themselves in trench with the whole wii remote and gamepad thing.

There next console can absolutely not be backwards compatible with the Wii U or Wii because it's simply not gonna work anymore with all their fancy controllers.

I think it'd be best if they go gamecube style and give us a standard controller for the main controller and find other ways to be innovative with their console.

And they also have to ditch the wii name. Start fresh.

But what about Virtual Console?

How would Skyward Sword work without Wii Remote Plus?

Why would their next platform be backwards compatible with Wii games anyway?

Also I say keep the GamePad. It literally is a standard controller, but with a touch screen. Other than that, it has all the standard buttons of a regular controller. Four face buttons, two analog sticks, d-pad, four shoulder buttons.
 
I feel like Nintendo is already cemented as the "niche" gaming company, a.k.a. they want to be that company that comes up with interesting new ideas for games and consoles even though they realize that will only attract certain people and repel others.

Since Nintendo has built up this niche fanbase, it seems unreasonable for them to just turn around and go back to "normal" controllers, consoles, etc.

It's not unreasonable if they want to remain relevant as a home console maker.

it is however unlikely
 
I don't have a problem with the GamePad (off-TV play is a wonderful thing that Nintendo didn't advertise enough), but I like it more when it has at least the option of more functionality than displaying the same thing that's on the TV.
 
im calling it right here

new wii u with a new controller that resembles a nintendo ds
