[Hyro-Sama]

LOL Wii U Pro controller = XBOX 360 Controller.

 

[triassic911]

Just finished seeing the pre-e3 stream. I will definitely be buying the Wii U. I love the fact that you can play wii games on the controller's screen itself. It's like you are playing smash bros on a handheld. Amazing.

 

[Charon]

I had no lag .o.

Good stuff. Cant wait for these "actual examples" on Tuesday.

 

[VMM]

Does anyone have a image of WiiU classic controller?
It looks to be Wireless, and that WiiU will be able to connect 4 of these at once at least.
For me this controller looks much better than WiiU native controller, and I'm disapointed that this is not WiiU native controller.
I hope that I'll be able to play Wii and GC games on it!

Wrong. XBox 360 controller = Any old Nintendo controller. I wonder how people can't see that. They even used the same button names and just re-arranged them.

Yup, they look exactly alike. Everyone else must be blind.

Wow, you're right, they are so similar! How did I not see it before?

Take the SNES controller and it will be true. PS1 controller was inspired by SNES controller, GameCube Controller was inspired by PS controller, XBox controller was inspired by GC and PS controllers, XBox 360 controller was inspired by XBox controller. Therefore XBox 360 controller was inspired by SNES controller, a Nintendo controller. Even then: On the Wii U Pro Controller the second stick and the buttons are swapped, so it's still very different from the XBox 360 controller. The word "inspired" fits quite well here once again. Why not take something as an inspiration that works quite well? It's better to copy well than to invent badly and since the XBox 360 controller seems to be pretty popular and work well, why not base the new controller design of it? It would be stupid to use another layout just because you're forcing yourself to do something differently. I mean DAMN! Look what Sony is doing all the time!

There's a world of difference between "the design of the SNES controller would, in a roundabout fashion, influence the controller of the Xbox 360" and "XBox 360 controller = Any old Nintendo controller."

True that is. I worded it badly. That wasn't my point, anyways. Basically, my point was just that it's pointless to call the Wii U Pro Controller a copy of the XBox 360 controller. It's like calling an Audi a copy of another car. I mean they fullfill the same purpose, so why shouldn't they look similiar?

A computer and a phone look different, but they fulfill the same purpose.

They do not. A phone is ment to be put in your pocket, a computer is ment to be put on your desk or your lap.
Even different phones don't fullfill the same purpose. Smartphones - for example - fullfill different purposes than regular cell phones.
