Not only did the force the inclusion of a controller with a touch screen with the Wii U - they force you to actually use it in some games which was super frustrating. I believe it was one of the reasons the Wii U did so poorly and they've obviously learned nothing from it. It does make sense though because they are partnering with Apple who is the king of "we know what you want" lol. There's no reason to not have a nice small set top box with regular wireless controllers. I'll wait until I can get one of these on the mega cheap and then get my Mario fix.
