Hopefully they're talking about multitouch and not just the improved analog sticks, but if that's what they're referring to I'm still grateful.

 

[The Boat]

There are advantages and disadvantages to both capacitive and resistive, so whatever they choose I'm fine with it.

 

[Caesar III]

Lol.

I know one can dream, right?

 

[Jive Turkey]

Nope.

That star pad thing still makes me laugh. I would have loved to see how they planned on using it.

 

[Reuenthal]

The controller is UE4 compatible but unfortunately the console is not

 

[bachikarn]

It's probably just adding sticks + click (and maybe analogue triggers). We don't "officially" know they changed it to sticks yet.

 

[Scum]

Multiple controller use, Haptic feedback

Spoiler

lol

, Analog sticks/triggers and SD card slot.

 

[Plinko]

Hopefully this includes increasing the range of streaming so you can actually play it across the house.

 

[big_z]

Multitouch and a non stylus screen seem to be a given. Hopefully they give the controller proper triggers and it's good to go. Now if only the system had more horsepower.

Mario Party for launch! I'd use my fucking foot on that thing

If its using ni-fi you can.

Very excited to hear all the Wii U details this week!

 

[cabottemp]

Final controller specs?

What does that even mean?

How do you not know?

 

[Somnid]

You and the other 3 people.

I mean people tons of people find Draw Something playable with an index finger, I don't know how but is it so bad to want a touch screen to excel at what it does rather than an awkward replacement for everything?

Also I wonder if that patent that turned up could make sense in the Wii U context.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Paralax Barrier screen?

 

[EloquentM]

You and the other 3 people.

Oh you're silly hehehe.

They should drop a slightly updated version of it as the updated controller at E3 just to troll everyone.

Print a small 'win' graphic on there somewhere too and press the win button to win!

 

[Diprosalic]

i pray to god that they haven't changed to multi touch or at least went with something like the Galaxy Note.

Dragon Age 3 exclusively for Wii U. :3

 

[darkside31337]

If this means they dumped the stylus and it has multi touch then that is indeed awesome.

 

[bon]

Please don't be capacitive.
~Stylus 4 Lyfe~

 

[DragonSworne]

Too bad the source isn't anonymous...

 

[Majukun]

what about the console?

the controller will be more powerful than the console

 

[Eusis]

the controller will be more powerful than the console

The console is actually just a disc reader and TV streaming box, now everything hardware-wise is in the controller.

... That'd be completely insane.

 

[Agent X]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that multi-touch support makes it into the final controller.

 

[DieH@rd]

Final controller specs?

What does that even mean?

Capacitive multitouch, true analog sticks, no crappy refresh rate/ghosty/blurry screen?

 

[Coldnoodle]

Please be resistive. For the love of god please stay resistive.

 

[marc^o^]

Is there one game on Vita that makes multitouch a must have? Even on iPad or iPhone, multitouch games are very few.

 

[nincompoop]

Nintendo would be stupid to drop the resistive screen for an inferior capacitive one. Many of their DS games would be outright unplayable on a capacitive screen due to the extreme loss of precision.

Good thing then that you aren't using this to play DS games.

Having a stylus on a device made to be held with two hands is silly. This isn't the same thing as a DS or a Galaxy Note.

 

[GameE]

Hum, maybe just Gearbox saying nice things about the Wii U as usual, we'll see this week I guess

 

[Ranger X]

You didn't realised the WiiU controller will run stuff? It will not only stream the image the WiiU is sending to the TV. There will be memory and maybe some processing power if stand alone apps are possible or parts of games that would run independantly there.

 

[loosus]

Don't listen to your devout and slightly retarded fans, Nintendo. Go capacitive. It's okay to come out of the stone-age. We are all waiting for you when you're ready to come out of the cave and let go of your caveman fans who love old technology.

That's not even the main advantage of capacitive. Capacitive actually works in the year 2012, whereas resisitve beams you back to Year 1995 PDAs, complete with styli.

We'll see in about four and a half hours actually.

You're really killing my dream of having competent touch screen indie games on my wii u, man.

Let's ignore capacitive touch screens predate resistive and that you have no idea what you're talking about

 

[Timbuktu]

God. The thought of a a motion tracker on the controller with the Aliens beeping sound is too awesome to comprehend. Would make it great to play in a pair.

 

[Tiktaalik]

Controller specs changing? Perhaps a switch to a multi-touch screen instead of a DSlike screen?

 

[Lonely1]

The controller will have a 32 core PowerVR Rogue GPU.

Multitouch is extremely useful and versatile for gesture-based user interfaces. However, having it concurrently with traditional control mechanisms makes it superfluous.

It'd be a nice bonus to have however, so there's that.

It's not so much "lol, old shit" as it is the fact that when you put out a tablet-like controller and try to sell it to the masses, they're going to expect multi-touch. They'd be incredibly stupid to sell a resistive screen to the same market that's used to the iPad.

Multitouch is nice, but it's just a side benefit.

 

[Eusis]

Honestly, what'd be best is for the touch screen to be like the Galaxy Note anyway, but maybe that's too expensive to implant and it'd be a pain to need a proprietary stylus.

Calling all Nintendo fans "slightly retarded?" Wow.

Aside from the ridiculous name-calling, multi-touch isn't necessary when you have buttons/sticks as well. Plus, resistive is more accurate. I'd take that any day.

Anyone who wants a resisitve touchscreen nowadays has to be a bit demented, I figure. Might as well ask for the analog sticks to be removed, too.

The stylus on my note isn't really as accurate or fast as the one on my 3DS.

[Eradicate]

Weird how it seems to be the same two developers talking about WiiU.

I know! Maybe Nintendo is letting them be a little more vocal because of the products they are making? As in, because that's the image they want to have?

 

[Shiggy]

Are capacitive screens really that imprecise? After all the Galaxy Note works pretty well I think.
Also, I think that capacitive screens are more responsive. I really didn't like the buttons on the DS touch screen, which you needed to press and where slight touches weren't enough. Never had such problems on a good smartphone.
