Am guessing then the Wii-Mote is being dropped for WiiU? Didn't seem used at all.
It would be nice if the old CC/CCpro can be used, we'd have multiple layout options
GC controller usually wasn't so great for multiplats, but goddamn the games that were designed with the controller in mind felt so fucking good. Compare the controls of RE4 GC to RE4 PS2. Or see the best use of triggers ever in a game with Super Mario Sunshine. Loved the button layout, but it could be a pain for some games.
Great. An excuse for developers to not use the tablet screen at all!
I think it's obvious-- the new design is in line with their WiiU Pad layout.
It's the exact opposite for me. I just asked my cousin to try handling a 360 pad like the new pro controller and we both came to the same conclusion. Our hands have a weaker grip on the controller when we try to manipulate the D-pad and face buttons on the same level. The 360 pad's configuration actually gave us a better grip.
It's not a total deal breaker for fighting games, but this clearly shows that the pro controller was made mostly for shooters. Still miles ahead of he DS3.
They barely showed any gameplay, so it's a bit hard to say. I wouldn't be surprised if it was slowly, unofficially unsupported, though.Am guessing then the Wii-Mote is being dropped for WiiU? Didn't seem used at all.
Sorry about the bolding, but if old CC support is in then the concerns over layout might he helped a little.It would be weird if they didn't support the old CC since the Wii U supports the Wiimote.
And wtf bolding?

I'll start off my saying there is no way there is going to be any effort required to use the pad controller. Nintendo won't require you to support it in any way other than the way the system already supports it. As is evidence by the existence of this controller. Now on to the more important point.
Why would any developer bother to put a game on the WiiU just because it supports a 360 style controller? They are afraid of the extra effort of a second screen, but aren't afraid of a game that requires a peripheral sold separately?

Wait a minute...black controller = black Wii U at launch!???
FUCK YES. Day 1 then.
Well, their Wii U gamepad button/stick placement are kinda different than what we are used to. So this Pro Controller will feel and look weird too, button placement wise. But i'm sure Nintendo tested it to hell and back, and will make sure it's comfortable to use.
its cheap way of playing Multiplayer...not everyone going to be able to buy an extra £50+ tablet.
What's a little weird to me is that the pad is even wider than it was last year. The thing is like yuge now.

But didn't he say it won't be as comfortable during 'long hardcore play sessions'
Why is this "for multiplatform games" if it's just the Wii U game pad without a screen? What benefit is it to buy this besides having an extra controller for multiplayer games?
Hope so. I really don't like the console.
Unless the analog sticks don't feel good, this looks great for shooters.
3 different Pads for the WiiU.... now i can understand the results of the IGN survey with the Devs.
I really don't like the face buttons down there. Guess they had to put them there...

Metroid Prime's control scheme gets my panties wet.
No. Digital triggers = fail for racing games.
You know what's great about this? Options. Just because there are more options doesn't mean the U Pad isn't going be used as much.
Yeah. The Wiimote is compatible, but will it actually be supported / utilized? And to what degree and for how long?As far as i'm aware, the system is still backwards compatible with the Wii.
umm or you can just buy the console. You don't NEED everything else. You don't seem to understand, the 3rd party controller thing isn't mandatory.so wiiU:
- buy console
- buy wiimotes (X4)?
- buy pads (X2-4)
- buy memory card of some ilk
I can't wait for the tally of parts to have their console experience. The fact that there's a pad for 3rd party games... is NOT a positive thing.
