You're right.
It's not news.
Nintendo invented the video game controller back in the 80's. I'm not sure why anyone mentions them anymore.
All their system is, is a tablet that connects to a Wii via 'The Cloud', and allows perverts to stalk little kids with a build in controller-camera disguising it as "Easy Mario Help!!***"
If Nintendo wants to be different, be unique - at least go back to the ideas that made them unique in the first place. Trying NEW things. (Virtual boy, first handheld, etc. Re-grow some balls, stop playing it safe.) Nothing about this is unique. Nothing. (List me things that nothing else has. I'm not saying the next PS or MS will be unique. But for a company that sells it's products under 'uniqueness', and has the motto of 'being unique', they've just created processed square cheese in a world of processed cubed cheese, but defend themselves [and have others defend them] simply because they came up with the concept of processing cheese. )
It's a combination of successful ideas of other mediums put together in a way which other systems already have, but in a newer fashion with flashier buttons.
Tablets are popular. So they make a system that has a tablet involved. Motion controls are out. No new nunchuk. No new wiimote. Tablets. Wave of the future! If people (IE: Not children, single mothers, or Nintendo-hard-on-ers) LOVED the wiimote, you can fucking bet every ounce of shit you've ever pooped out that they'd release an improved version of that dumb TV controller.

Yeah I don't know what the big deal is. Nintendo pretty much came up with 80% on today's controllers.

The fact they created the first video game controller, then 15+ years later stuck one horribly positioned thumbstick on one of them gives them the ability to claim constant praise/complete exemptness for every controller ever invented forever? Haaaaaaa.
