reminds me of the wii u controller.

 

[Instro]

I was hoping for a substantial redesign.

If there's any redesign, we won't see it till E3. Was confirmed by Nintendo that the WiiU's presence at CES will only be to show what was shown at E3.

 

[radioheadrule83]

I just watched the LG and Samsung press conferences... the consumer electronics brands seem to be getting shit done. That screen on the Wii U controller is just pathetic compared to what we have on $250+ tablets and smartphones.

Fixed for context

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Man the controller looks huge. I know that everyone is saying that it is comfortable to hold, but it still looks huge!

I'm more concerned with the slide pads than the size of it. I mean, I can accept them on a portable as a matter of practicality, but who at Nintendo thought using a worse feeling less accurate version of analog sticks would be a good idea on the main controller for their next console?

Do you want a $79 controller, or a $149 controller?

The same place the Wii U is going.

Nowhere

Maybe BurntPork was right to bail.

 

[Phonomezer]

Still looks like the Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive :/

 

[rdrr gnr]

Still looks like the Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive :/

Or basically any external drive.

 

[chubigans]

We'll get the $79 controller at the $149 price, I'm sure.

 

[Uno Venova]

Such a basic looking console.

 

[neptunes]

Even though that isn't the final design, I really don't think the final one will change that much.

 

[GABDEG]

Looks like a long-ass external floppy drive lmao.

 

[Ricker]

When is CES anyway,next weekend?...and the looks doesn't really matter to me,I want to see some games

 

[BurntPork]

No, that thread is going in circles.

 

[Professor Fog]

Ugh. That controller. No words.

 

[Jarmel]

Do you want a $79 controller, or a $149 controller?

I would go with the $150 controller every time if it was quality. I know I'm in the minority though.

 

[RurouniZel]

I still dislike that they seem to be moving away from the Wii Remote standard setup. The tablet looks uncomfortable, I dislike the slidepads replacing actual analogue sticks... it's just... I don't like it.

For quality Im willing to pay 150$ for a controller

 

[SolarPowered]

I'm just messing with him since he always becomes so dramatic lol. I honestly want Nintendo to blow my socks off with the Wii U, but I'm really frustrated by the lack of news.

My hype levels are in check, but I don't want them to be. I want to be excited about Nintendo's first HD console and they haven't given me a thing so far.

Such a basic looking console.

I may be disappointed by Nintendo's lack of information, but the Gamecube taught me to never doubt them. That little box was a powerhouse and the only distinguishing feature was a little handle sticking out of it's rear. I expect the Wii U to be a powerhouse for it's size too.

Believe!

Exactly. I'd forgotten all about it until I saw that picture again. It's one thing to be "Johnny's First Ipad", but jeez, put some damn sticks on the thing. I can't believe they're going to follow through with this insanity.

Go to offtopic section, its going on

 

[Agent X]

The screen on the controller looks like it has no illumination at all, like the original Game Boy Advance. I would guess (and hope) that the lighting is simply turned off, and that's not the full extent of the screen's illumination.

 

[scy]

And so it begins...

 

[EvilMario]

I guess the dream of being rebranded to something like Super Wii is dead.

 

[jett]

That controller is really ugly, and the screen on it looks to be of crappy quality. I wonder if there's an chance for a redesign at E3.

 

[JVIDICAN]

The controller looks hideous. The console itself looks decent enough. The OLED looks fantastic.

 

[Ricker]

Go to offtopic section, its going on

Shit,thanks

 

[Dennis]

Speaking of things that look like other things, troll posts like these look like a good argument for a member cull!

Beware of wishes, Mr. Backseat Mod.

 

[crimzonflame]

I cant imagine playing any action/FPS/fighting game using that controller.

 

[MisterHero]

the tablet is just a ruse for the real reason for Wii U screen streaming

Spoiler

Are they bringing the lamp addon back maybe?

 

[Gravijah]

For quality Im willing to pay 150$ for a controller

would you guys pay a million dollars for a controller if it was the best controller ever

 

[Father_Brain]

Nothing to see here until E3. Maaaybe we'll get something moderately interesting to chew on on the 26th, if we're lucky.

 

[yurinka]

Please tell me that darkness in the controller screen is due to lack of flash of something like that, and not due to horrible viewing angles.

 

[LiK]

so can people play with it or is it just there for display?

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Is this the promised re-unveiling of the console? Cause it looks an awful lot like what we saw back at E3.

 

[scy]

Depends on what else it ... provides.

 

[H_Prestige]

Yeah, this is baffling. I can understand the 3DS since it is a clamshell portable, but there is no reason this controller here can't have real analog sticks. Nintendo choosing something obviously inferior for no reason other than style I suppose.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

[wsippel]

Er, I'm talking about the controller screen.

Who cares? It's not a TV. You're not supposed to ever look at it from extreme angles or from far away. It's always right in your palm, at an almost 90° angle.

 

[Neuromancer]

It's pretty inoffensive.

 

[StevieP]

It will likely have brightness settings, as with other portable devices that need to recharge. That said, the screen on it isn't going to be as high quality as the one in a Vita or iPhone - those expecting that will be disappointed.

I would go with the $150 controller every time if it was quality. I know I'm in the minority though.

I would have no problem paying $200 or $250 for advanced enough controller technology. But you and I are not who sells consoles and who needs to buy replacements for ones that children break etc.

We'll get the $79 controller at the $149 price, I'm sure.

Which is still better than the $149 controller for a $249 price.

Your thumbs don't like your opinion. Think about the comfort angle.

It is the E3 console. No re-unveiling until E3'12.

I cant imagine playing any action/FPS/fighting game using that controller.

It's a dual-analog pad. With a screen in the middle. The keyword is that it's pretty much the same standard interface that all dual-analog pads share.

 

[El Sloth]

Slow news day

Have you heard the good news about Vermin Supreme?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Well, I know where this thread is going.

The same place the Wii U is going.

Nowhere.

 

[Übermatik]

OMG METROID SPOTTED ON SCREEN!

 

[gogogow]

Brightness is gonna be fine, but it's probably using a tn display to keep the costs down, so the viewing angles aren't gonna be great.

 

[Snytbaggen]

That photo seems to be taken with a flash, and that would make pretty much any screen look like crap.

yeah but that's metroid prime and no one cares about that

 

[Globox_82]

lools like a toy, just like wii did. Yeah in that little thing is a beast processor and beast GPU roll my eyes.

On other side maybe it's fun to play with, definitely not my thing, since Nintendo seems to be taking same direction.

 

[BigTnaples]

Looking forward to seeing what they have to show.

My guess is they will save all the cool stuff for E3 though. Especially if they are going up against 720/PS4 announcements.

 

[GameE]

Since we didn't have complete confirmation that the console would actually be there, yes.
