I'd have it connected to the Dreamcast controller, TBQH.

^ I don't think so. The Dreamcast controller couldnt do nearly half the stuff the Wii U tablet can do.

It wasn't even a touchscreen screen.

Because it was 12 years ago. The Wii U's controller is an evolution of the concept.

It's a lot like the evolution of the phone. From a single line of numbers, to multiple lines, to color and pictures, and then higher resolutions and touchscreens.

Good point, though I spose the one reason why not to connect them is that there's so many evolutionary steps in between required (unlike the slower, multistep phone analogy you used), that it's hard to say that it's definitely a direct evolutionary successor. By which I mean, one could argue, it has dual analog and buttons, etc., but isn't directly connected to any controllers as such. In a way, it's both a 'new beginning', and an amalgamation of many (most?) controllers to date from all companies.

If anything I would have a line coming from most controllers.

It's sega saturn meets wiimote meets xbox controller meets 3DS controller meets eyetoy (sorta)

So if Nintendo changed the name of the Wii - U, would the be pulling a U-Wii?

This is what I was thinking. There's way too many evolutionary steps too compare the two including the button layout, cameras, gyroscope, mic and etc. The only thing similar is that they both have screens and the Dreamcast controller doesn't have nearly (if much at all) as many features in it as the tablet.

The Dreamcast never had a screen on their controllers..
Their memory cards had a LCD screen though:)
