Of course it's not a "nod". That'd be ridiculous. But anyways, the influence was more obvious when it was still in conceptual stages and showing a literal game screen on the controller to touch.
And I'm not defending all the dumb mistakes Nintendo has made lately. They've been disappointing me as well as of late. Though now that I'm thinking about it ... most of their mistakes have been more on the software side than the hardware. The Wii U honestly was and is not a bad system. It's main issue lies more in its overall lack of games, as well as bad and forced game design decisions like we see with Starfox U. Then there was the poor quality virtual console and lackluster online support. Those were the things that really killed the console. But the hardware itself is perfectly fine.
