Nintendo broadcasting a Nintendo Direct pre-E3 presentation tomorrow

[dgwillia]

I always liked the Trading Card game too, i never really got into it though.

But i'd REALLY love to see another Pokemon Puzzle League game.

 

[heartgold]

All i need to see is a new Smash Bros and a new Pokemon and my wallet will already be open. Nintendo always has at least one epic game announcement

We won't see either.

Smash Bros has only just been started and Gamefreak have said that they will never do a proper Pokemon for a home console.

Theres always the Coliseum's and Stadium's though, i loved those just as much as the handheld Pokemon games. That or finally a Pokemon Snap 2

His point is probably that Nintendo should focus on originality rather than ergonomics. They should've put buttons in the shittest of places making it hard for us to press them.

Consider me intrigued from what I've read, but one thing...

The Wii U Pro Controller. Why? Why? It's perfect except for that right analog stick placement. So close, Ninendo, so close.

I'm sure they had to change it to avoid any trouble from Microsoft, but still. Hopefully a third party controller will switch it back around.

€dit: Don't get me wrong, I like it. It just isn't really new.

Yeah you're right. Let's do a completely new controller that feels completely 'out of this world' that pretty much casual gamer will like and that will turn off core gamers. -_-
For GOD SAKE, DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT. Nintendo has done a great job so far with it. In fact I can see playing SSB with it instead of the Gamepad.
Your post is proof that most gamers doesn't even know what they want.

They copy the best gamepad that most of the hardcoregamers like and use. Even PS3-User buy adapter so that can use the xbox360-pad with their PS3! The Wii U Pro Controller is a very good move - especially because of all multi-platform titles. Then again there is this new Wii U Controller. So you can hardly complain that Nintendo is not innovative.

They should've put all the buttons on the back of the controller thus allowing use of 4 digits at all times instead of just 2 thumbs.
...
Hrm...

Core gamers, not hardcore gamers.

True, I used to have a pretty big one like that, they were much cheaper than the official ones and did the same thing, although they were nicer to hold since they were bigger. =3

Also, I love the 360 controller, it's by far the most confortable one, so, if Wii takes out the main design, what's wrong with that? It's actually a good thing.

It probably seems silly since we're used to the current standard, but it's not that weird really.
You can't use the right stick and buttons at the same time anyway so the placement doesn't really change how you'd use the controller.
And we should be used to both thumb positions anyway.
Guess we'll see.

I believe that will be the standard for Nintendo Dual Analog controllers now, if the 3ds does get a revision that includes the second circle pad, I do believe it will be in the same position as in the controller (not to mention that the CPP is already in the same height as the other one.

Well, it's just that most gamepads since the PS1 have used the "buttons to the far right of the controller" layout. To change it around like this is really going to screw around with muscle memory.

Can it be overcome? Eventually, I'm sure, but this needless fixing what isn't broken is still annoying.

 

[signz]

Heh, some of you misunderstood me (I don't blame you tho). It's not bad just a bit "strange" imo - I don't like it any less. In fact I'm also looking forward to what the Wii U will bring (especially about the games)

We got over the left analog placement between the Sony/Microsoft controllers pretty quickly, I'm sure we'll be fine.

To be fair, though, the D-Pad generally isn't the primary method of controlling the games we're playing. The buttons on the right side, however, are, so we're looking at a greater change here.

Well it's different here. Nintendo is not a third party controller manufacturer for the Xbox 360. The ressemblance with the 360 pad is striking and way too obvious

And the original xbox controller was a (bad) copy of the Gamecube- and Dreamcast- controllers.
That is the circle of life controllers.

Where's your source that it was a copy?
