A look at an updated Wii U controller

[heartgold]

Personally I love this big controller and the only thing that interests me about the Wii U. Love to play N64, GC and certain wii games in my hands portable around the house without the need of a TV.

So many people saying that it looks uncomfortable. Rewind to E3 2011, where people who tried it said it was comfortable to use.

Exactly, everyone who has tried it at the E3 has never complained that it's not comfortable to hold or to play with.

It has the grips at the back, so I can't imagine it hurting your hands unless you are like super weak, then you probably having trouble holding handhelds in general as well.

They were lying.

Seriously though, it's merely a matter of subjectivity. What they say is irrelevant, we need to try it for ourselves

It's similar to the ipad, it would be more comfortable like this despite aesthetics.
As long as the controller is smaller than the ipad then it will be comfortable if not it'll be annoying, really annoying.

Back the entire fuckbus up. How the hell does this

Spoiler

Seem anything at all similar to this

Have you ever played with an ipad? It's uncomfortable, really. Place it sideways and you get an approximate of the wii-u controller. Of course the ipad doesn't have any buttons but in some games where you can choose where to allocate your "buttons" and your "analog sticks", it's actually confier to place them in the upper part. There remain problems as the screen is so big you can't reach the middle portion without letting go with one hand. That's why I hope this controller is smaller

I have, and it didn't feel uncomfortable to me at all. Perhaps it's just you? Also, the controller is definitely smaller than an iPad sideways, no way in hell would Nintendo make the thing that big.

I think he may be judging the size from the close-up pictures and doesn't actually know how large it is.

Screen's too small. The border looks unnecessarily big. Analogs too far up has people mentioned before. I think I'll wait for a redesign.

 

[chartube12]

What's at the top there? A DSi/3DS charger cord?

I believe that is the gamecube mic. So that means the wii u screen controller has a gc-memory card slot.

I don't know if they'll make a redesign of a controller

I figured as much.

You're lying. /jk

If what they said is irrelevant, what does that mean for the people who says that it looks uncomfortable without even touching it?


Nintendo just can't seem to win...

It's irrelevant regardless of who says it, so long as you think it feels comfortable then that's all that matters; others can't rate the comfortability for you.

Finally they came to their senses!

OoT is a LOT easier to play with an analogue stick than a Slide Pad.

Whaaaaaat? OoT on the Wii U? Where is this?

The Virtual Console for the N64.

Chances are every single Nintendo console from now on up will have some kind of OoT on it, be it a remake, a port of the remake, or a virtual console game. They cash cow the shit out of it.

Oh, forgot about that.
Now all Nintendo has to do is cut away all that baby fat...

 

[mameks]

still fucking hideous.

 

[Midna]

still fucking hideous.

>Stylus on the right
>Less height
>Grips
>Analog sticks
>Start and select in reachable positions
Lot less hideous than before

I will reserve judgement for "how it feels" until I hold the damn thing in my own two hands.

Ever heard the expression "My eyes are bigger than my stomach"?

Looks can be deceiving.
