Actually there were quite clever. They never specify whats wrong or inaccurate. Its likely they are using the price guess the paper did to address the whole topic.

Gamecube games will most likely be available as part of the Virtual Console.
I don't get why the triggers are seemingly raised so much if they are not analogue. Perhaps he made a mistake and thought they were digital because they click like the GC ones did...:\.

Man fuck this 3DSXL leak. I could not have been expecting a 3DS redesign at this point any less. That would have been an awesome reveal.

listen to the mad man
Digital triggers are like normal buttons, like A and B. They only have on or off functionality. Analog triggers have positions in between on and off (as well as fully on and off).
Analog triggers are more necessary because the GCN had analog triggers. If Nintendo plans on releasing games like Super Mario Sunshine on the Virtual Console, for instance, they will need analog triggers (Sunshine had this to control the amount of water sprayed). Analog is also used in racing games to provide a better option than pedal on the floor or foot off the pedal (which would be the only choices digital triggers have). Analog triggers would also allow for easier porting because the 360 and PS3 (I think?) have analog triggers.
I hope that explanation is clear enough.
he is right! I want my damn analog triggers =/
You can't play Melee or Mario Sunshine, to name two. That's pretty significant to me.
Digital triggers: Wii classic controller L2/R2, PS2 controller L2/R2
Analog triggers: GC controller L/R, 360 controller LT/RT, PS3 controller R2/L2
GC virtual console.
Apparently, they were on the CC and CCPro and I never had a problem with them.

So Nintendo standardized analog triggers and then dropped them? Okay...

people who play racing games: buy wheels for god sake
people who play shooting games: you should play by wiimotes to begin with for god sake

but I don't get why 'not' to have them? PS3 doesn't have either?

I'm getting really fucking bummed. No analog triggers is a giant oversight.

I can't stand not being able to control how much I'm accelerating/braking in racing games. That's the only reason this really sucks to me.

aren't the face buttons analog? I control acceleration in GT4/3 like this...
or is my mind fuked up?

Very informative, thanks. I guess they should go for analog in the name of all that is Gamecube. Those titles MUST be available on the Virtual Console. Sunshine, Melee, Colosseum? Fuck yes.

Just wanted to second the feeling that it doesn't seem like a lot of non-Nintendo devs are having fun making their games these days.
Normally I try to take things with a big grain of salt before saying anyone has an agenda but it's beyond obvious at this point with this channel and their ilk. Makes you wonder what kind of incentive there possibly is for folks like Morgan to keep trolling like they do.

how is playing with wheels dreadful advice?
I don't own one, but I once played with one at one of my friends house at was super awesome
I wanted to buy one then, but was fuking expensive.I see, thanks; I guess they are for braking

<neckbeard>well, strictly speaking, the PS2's shoulder buttons WERE analogue; they were just rarely, if ever, used as such</neckbeard>
I always press the whole way down. :S

They are on the PS3/360 controllers but the only analog buttons Nintendo has ever had on a console are the L/R buttons on GameCube.
What's the advantage for a shoot game? It feels more like a trigger, which is sick, but I thought FPS essentially use them as digital. Uncharted uses the digital triggers for shooting.
Don't get me wrong. Pretty dumb for Nintendo not to include it.

Because you're asking people to buy am extra peripheral for one genre to make up for what has otherwise been a controller standard for the entire generation.
No analogue triggers would be a seriously dumb oversight by Nintendo. It does them no good, only harm.

May I have a cookie?
man I forgot Sunshine made use of the analog triggers... I only remembered FZero. Now I am bummed as well...
And to think the GameCube had the most delightful analog triggers ever to appear on a controller...

You are right.
I just found out for nearly like a half a decade, I have been playing with a PS2 controller which apparently is fake.
I just checked my original controller, and indeed L2/R2 are analog; but not on my replacement controller
oh god, the REVELATION! I think I have found one [main] reason passing GT4 licenses became so frustrating compared to what I remembered from GT3
Well, fuk you Nintendo if you haven't included analogs; lol - I just thought racers are normally playable without it
---
man, Nintendo can be so stupid sometimes
I thought we wanted them to be analogue ;~)
Well more so racing games, although I think people are apt to press down fully or give a quick tap. F-Zero GX on the GC put them to great use, so Nintendo should see their benefit. Shooters do not really use them at any significant degree, as they are all multiplat with the PC. However as I mentioned earlier, it just seems like a completely pointless thing not to include.
They're technically playable, just no fine control over gas/brake. So it's like all on or all off.
Usually racing wheels re-implement this on digital-trigger only consoles by having the brake/gas pedals actually be X/Y axis inputs on the controlstick 'channel'. That's how N64 racing wheels did analog gas pedals if they had the function.
I am really unhappy about having no analog triggers, it makes GCN virtual console seem much less likely, which was one of the possibilities I was most excited about with the Wii U.
Unless Nintendo decides to try and make even more money off accessories by making a wavebird for Wii U. Usable only for virtual console titles.

Has anyone thought of great racing ideas for the tablet? If not, developers could just use the Wii remote again (unlikely, but possible). If the stand thing goes into use much, you could just put the gamepad on the stand and use it as a rearview mirror/map.
The more I think about that idea, the more unlikely it seems. Oh well, just make the all of the main triggers analog, Nintendo.

It's already 800x240. They can just do a bit of vertical pixel doubling (and making the horizontal resolution like my 3D phone where you get all 800 dots across in 2D mode instead of having to do horizontal pixel doubling whenever 3D is off), and add a pretty small border on the sides, and little is lost.
I'm pretty annoyed at the implication that the revision won't be DS compatible.
woah woah, the wii mote is not at all dreadful for fps
London time thats put its around... 5 pm?

my real life example:
I can barely finish GT4 licenses; I bought the game like 2 years ago while I had a replacement controller
I had finished lots of GT3 licenses.
My main problems were [are, I tried two weeks ago no luck ] on the turns; to pass turns speed control prior to the turn and acceleration during the turn is very important
For shooters, I believe it is used to get the weapon ready for fire or something; never played shooters out of Wii and PC; but I guess if PC is fine without out analogs, so will be the Wii U
But for racers it is really serious; unless you bind brake to face buttons too
for arcades maybe; but for simulation it is 'impossible' to play properly without analog acceleration and brake
that's really unintuitive, there's a reason controllers evolved
---
I just hope it is not true and triggers are analog; but Nintendo can be so stupid sometimes
Maybe Gearbox should have been developing a racing instead of shooter, to care for this, lol

Right, it's awesome, but people shouldn't be expected to buy peripherals or use alternatives to a controller that is specifically targeting the traditional market. Making a controller that is supposed to replicate the 360/PS3 controller and excluding a standard feature is silly.

I've been sleeping poorly lately if I go to sleep now I'll end up waking less than 5 hours from now leaving me more than a 6 hour wait
btw I was reading the conf threads where the TV streams censored? because there were lots and lots of F bombs and many posters where talking about BEEPs
for people who wish to see GTA V on Nintendo's stage... would Fuck be acceptable on Nintendo's stage?

AC3 was announced yes.
Ubisoft hasnt updated their site at all yet for Wii U stuff. Even the links they put in the PR releases arent up yet. You click Wii U on Ubis site and it says nothing found.

I see your point; but in multi I will use Wiimote and I am gonna KICK ASS
