Rumor: New Wii U controller (analog sticks)?

Did you edit it in? Cause I miss a lot of edits.
No, someone guessed that the game was star tropics and I replied, "somewhere tonight, ace shat himself". A bit grotesque perhaps but It made me chuckle.
To repeat what i said in the speculation thread, for the document stating that the Wii U will support 2 DRC, it's "just" a document, and rather old, from august. Representatives of Nintendo, like one from Canada, said also a while ago that the system will support multiple controller. Basically, it's not official and third-parties developers didn't witnessed such support through the development process of their projects, until the V4 dev kits included at least.

Oh, I think I was asleep when you guys were doing that anyway. I rarely go back and read through the pages I wasn't there for. You guys are nuts.
A real person nowadays gives you his name (facebook) and not his number. At least where I'm from we don't go around asking for numbers to people I just met. Must be different where you live, different customs.
You seem like someone who is trying to sell Nintendo online or something. I don't care about his or her mii and we have the same thing on the 360.
You were the one who said that you prefer the freedom of changing your name, and that was my reply to you.
So wait you can have 5 people with the same name in a game? I guess you don't care about originality and not getting others confused but I do.
Actually I do tell them apart. I just don't add anyone in my friend's list and I've met quite a few great friends online. I've placed my username on this site just to see if I could find a friend in here, and I have. If I don't then I'll remove them from the list after a few months.
A lot of friends I have do not play online and those who do play, play different games than I do. We usually try to play a game but they're the type of gamer that plays a game for two weeks, they beat it and they're done with it, except COD of course. I'm trying to find people who usually stick to a game for much longer than 2 weeks. It's much easier just to pop the game in the console and find people in that specific game, than just taking two steps outside and find it. You seem to be confusing things, I'm not finding friends because I lack them, I'm trying to find friends I can play online with, for more than two weeks.
Not quite sure I understand what you're saying. Are you saying that you don't like the fact that on forums I can be called something different than my PSN/XBL username? isn't that the case with names on Wii/DS? You don't put numbers in your forum's username. You could always use the same username everywhere. My PSN and XBL is the same name. Nintendo doesn't even allow me to use my PSN/XBL name because it's too long and I tried using "killgore" which I then got a message saying that Nintendo may take my name away because it's not a proper one.
Doesn't that contradict Nintendo's main point? They want protection of each individual. If it defeats the purpose, then why not just add usernames and be done with it?
Nintendo just needs to have a better parental control system where you can choose if your kid's username is displayed online or not (put a placeholder name if blocked). Allow or Block them from getting messages from users and unmute/mute people online, automatically.

Not really. With Rivals and Communities, you can't directly interact with anyone on those lists. Only with people on your Friends List.
It's true.l i a r !
I figure if it's important, it'll still be talked about/have a topic about it.
Yeah, I saw in the spec thread. I also saw your PM post with llerre in this thread.

Anyone have a summary of what Ideaman's said so far? I haven't been keeping track.

Then you missed the two pages generated by my dear friend EloquentM talking about your underwear bad habits !

He was going to post a thread about the controller on the 21st. And he has another thread prepared about another secret or something like that.

Biggest news of the thread:
Two Upads can connect to the console.
Two pads >>>>>>>>>> 1 pad
4 pads while nice, is not as big a deal as just having 2 over one. So this pleases me greatly.
Boxes for my WiiU purchase are starting to get checked... just a few more to go.

You should temper that pleasure
Two pads aren't news in this thread, it was reiterating a couple very small references in dev documentation that leaked last August, something which proves nothing except that Nintendo at one point wanted to make sure their dev kits were future-proof just in case.Then how do you add them?

I mean it is fine if Nintendo does not implement this feature. I will simply not buy a WiiU till it is $99 at the end of the gen. Equal pleasure will come from the savings.

Rivals were added after a match (you could choose to just add them and then invite them for other games).
Communities are basically an invite only type of thing (you need to have the community number to get in, you can see stats and play with people in the community).

If they implement the Steam system where you have one log in name/account name that never changes and then you have your profile name that you can change whenever you want, I'll be impressed. They need to get rid of a friend call altogether. Implement account name which cannot be altered and then profile name which can be changed.
Excuse my ignorance but wait, are "rivals" and "communities" a feature in some games? a wii channel? I haven't played with my wii for over a year now (that's what she said?). So Rivals shows you a list of people you've played with and add them to your friend's list? Again, sorry for the many questions.
They better not. Resistive touch screens are so fucking superior for games.

Rivals were in a lot of DS games (MPH, Mario Kart, ect). But yes, after you played an online match you could add someone as a rival and then they could join future games the same as friends.
Communities are in MK7 and will likely be in other games and also a big part of the Wii U.

It looked aesthetically better before, but I suppose it will feel and play better now.
It's the same shape as the Nunchuck/Classic Controller sticks. Should be fine.
Ahh I see, so you basically have two lists, friend's list and Rival list, very interesting. I guess that's another step in the right direction but personally I still prefer what every other online system does, but to each their own I guess. I'm assuming you can't send messages to your rival, which is unfortunate. Thanks again!

Concave sucks.
Brilliant image from a site you GO to
This is nice, but they forgot to mention the aspect ratio of the device also changed, it looks like it went from a 16:9 to 16:10.
I think concave is better, less slippery too
Well, I made this gif.
Didn't see this before, but if they add grips at the bottom, that'd eliminate my biggest complaint from what I held at E3.
Even if the Upad is becoming less and less of a tablet as time goes forward, it seems the ergonomics are improving.
Now if only they could switch the placement of the ABXY and second analog stick...

I honestly could not care less about this or octagonal vs smooth. I regularly switch 360 (concave, smooth) and CCpro (convex, octagonal) and I never notice the difference. In fact, I had to go look at both controllers right now to see which was which.
I definitely notice it. I much prefer the 360 analog sticks over the PS3 one, just because they're concave. It's nothing game breaking, just a personal preference. 3DS concave nub design is better than PSP's convex one too (IMO)

Concave > Convex.
Also, anyone defending any aspect of Nintendo's current online system needs to jump in a cold lake with their Wii in hand.

The Wii's online was horrid. We all know that.
However, the 3DS's is completely different and the Wii U's will be even more different from that.

FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
but I bet people will still stupidly defend friend codes
I agree, but these sticks have a grip ring so they won't be slippery anyway.
The cross-section looks something like this.
As you can see the grip ring pretty much gives it the same advantage as a concave cap. I've never had any issue with Wii sticks before.

Hopefully they have a decent way of demoing this controller in stores, because I have a lot of reservations about it. Screen seems unnecessary and adds a lot of bulk which could lead to comfort issues. Not to mention battery life concerns. And the stick placements seem odd.
Be intrigued to see what people have to say about extend play sessions (4+ hours) with it.

Huh...I never noticed that until now, but you're right. I do think the Wii's ring is slightly shorter than what is in that picture (or it could be that mine has worn out) but yeah, it's much better than regular convex. Still though, I think concave is slightly better then, since the rin can wear out and disappear, kinda like the four dots in the 360's stick

Reminds me of a GameCube controller with a screen in the middle.
WHERE WAS THIS THING WHEN CRYSTAL CHRONICLES CAME OUT
The GC Left stick was the most precise analog stick I've ever used, so if the Wii U had two of those I would be very happy.

Hmm. I just figured out who took the picture and he works in the same department as my friend. How could anybody be so stupid as to tweet something like this... I wonder if he'll lose his job. TBH, I'd get rid of him for sheer idiocy.
