  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.
