    The forced gamepad integration didn’t help, like why tf do I need the gamepad to connect to WiFi.

      It doesn’t need wifi though, PlayStation portal does. But yeah, the second screen was a questionable idea - too hard to implement in an interesting way, makes all local multiplayer games asymmetrical, makes porting difficult… Even Nintendo gave up

        actually the gampad does need WiFi*, it’s just that the Wii U is the access point to its slightly non compliant WiFi ac network.

        I mean connecting the console itself to WiFi, you are required to use the gamepad for most settings.

        There’s no controller/wiimote fallback option.
