They think they care about that, but they don't know, they really don't!
(but honestly, how many games are currently utilizing multi-touch vs those utilizing precise input of the games used on DS?)
Rumor: New Wii U controller (analog sticks)?

You think they want reminders of the GC around? They killed support for GC out of the newer Wii models and Wii U won't even play GC games unless you buy them again digitally :/

Should we? If they end up like the PS3 sticks (which suck ass) we should be weeping instead of rejoicing. Being like 360 sticks is acceptable, however.

Agreed. It'll be interesting to see how they feel.
You really think that they removed it because it was a feature of the GC? You're quite the romantic... also the N64 had it too.

I liked the octagonal gates too. Oh well...

What my brother said. The less like a PS3 this controller is other than Sony's marvelous D-Pad, the better.
Not at all.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
By the way, is there any technical reason there has to be a half-inch of space all around the screen? It seems they could shave a 3/4 of an inch by moving the d-pad and buttons closer to that screen.
If you use up to jump maybe. I was a button-jumper, but I always had difficulty pressing up to jump and used the corner as a guide

I say it each time I see it, but that screen is beautiful.

imagine if we actually had to use circle pads on a home console for the next 6 years.

I wonder how it'll look next to my iPad's 2048x1536 IPS display.
I'm sure it'll look fine

I hope wireless Gamecube controllers work on the Wii U... Don't know how I would play Smash without it.
You played the first one with a 64 controller, I'm sure you can adjust to the new controller.
we really dodged a bullet here. thank god
there's no GC portsI hope wireless Gamecube controllers work on the Wii U... Don't know how I would play Smash without it.
After like 5,000 hours of SSBM on a Gamecube controller? Not really.

like, look at how terrible those things look.
The D-pad of the dualshock sucks too... the only good d-pad on a Sony console is the Vita one.

It's like you've never played a game on another system before...
I've never played another game for even a fraction of the time I've spent with SSBM so it's not really comparable.
"sucks" is the wrong word, as the dualshock d-pad is quite responsive.
Yeah but it destroys your thumb if you play a fighting game with it for more than an hour.
I sure hope not. I loved SS

Don't know if this has already been suggested, but I'm guessing the square beneath the dpad is maybe similar to a trackpad on a Blackberry? -
Would make internet browsing etc far easier

I've never had an issue with the dual shock d-pad. It's the sub par analog sticks that need a make over. This dpad look...like a nintendo dpad. That's a good thing. I even like the GC one, as it was really good for secondary actions, which is what it was used for 99% of the time.
Keep playing Melee then. Some of us aren't so afraid to try something new.

But we have a giant touch screen with a stylus.
But they could just make a Gamecube controller.

OK, I had a late night, it's early....I don't know why I even suggested that, lol.
Maybe it could have a use with....erm....
Ok, I'll shut up now.

I really think its just a painted on symbol for nfc. Probably to be replaced later with something like radiating circles.
I believe someone on here posted:
Your iPad has a pixel density of 264 according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_displays_by_pixel_density

It's the vitality sensor.
D-Pads have been that way since the beginning of time, barring the Saturn pad.

Every Nintendo home system had at least two controllers. This was really just the acceptable minimum.

If they used a symbol it should be the official NFC logo:
I get what you mean though.

and the DS fat one and the SNES one
Or you could just suck it up and move on.
Now, considering that your suggestion would cost Nintendo money, potentially unnecessarily, I think Nintendo will have more resolve than you will on this matter and outlast your objection. So you can either play the next Smash Bros. on this controller, or you can go and play more Melee because you've never held this new controller yet automatically assume it's a worse alternative.
Seriously, your call.
