Though Nintendo has addressed a variety of topics over the past couple days, a few more details remain about the final version of the Wii U GamePad. To some extent these serve as confirmations of things we already suspected, though if you haven't aggressively kept track of the rumors out there, you might have missed some of this. Here they are, in bullet form:
During today's Nintendo Press Conference it was confirmed that the Wii U GamePad will have rumble. This comes alongside the gyroscope, touchscreen, new analog sticks and more. How this will affect battery life, or what the actual expected battery life of the gamepad is like, has yet to be discussed.

- Charging - The Wii U GamePad features a rechargeable battery, one that is charged through Nintendo's existing 3DS AC Adapter. (I believe this is the case for the Wii U Pro Controller as well, but haven't been able to confirm that.)
- Resistive - The screen remains resistive - that means single touch, not multi-touch.
- Digital - The Pad's shoulder buttons are all digital, meaning they're capable of only a single strength of input, versus an analog trigger (like the Xbox 360) that is capable of measuring input in degrees.
- Nintendo's Other Reveals - You can find plenty of other details from Nintendo's online broadcast earlier this week right here, in case you missed them the first time. E3 2012 started early this week... so early...
