I have huge hands, and I really want to be able to use them (Yes theres a controller but still.....).


I'm serious. Any ideas on the dimensions? It looks much smaller than a WiiMote.

Also, button Layout, Especially triggers. Are there 2 on each (L and ZL, R and ZR) or just 1 (L and R)?

So, Yeah What do you think?

I heard they were about the size of an NES controller. I have no clue what the buttons will look like on it though. Wasn't there a thread about Nintendo patenting the Switch controllers a long time ago though? You could check that to see the entire controller.

Those WiiMotes look great.

I wonder when they're going to release a rev up version that has nunchuks JoyConsPlus?

Keep in mind they shown an actual sized controller that works just like the JoysCon.

Haven't seen it. Still, things have changed since then

Just need a proper d-pad. Speaking of which the pro controller's d-pad seems to be inferior to Nintendo d-pad.

I'm personally indifferent, but I also have small Asian hands sooo its not problem for me. The pro controller maybe your only option. They also could release grips or something to make it easier to use for some.

They should work just like the joyscon. I wonder if you can mix play with them, two people with half a joyscon and a third classic controller. Like on the ps3 that you can use either the dualshock3 or the Move simultaneously (if the game supports it).
Probably they will

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

They could make it a bit wider, but that isn't a deal breaker. I just hope for motion controls.
It is for me, Goddamn Big Hands.

Ok it's not, I hope it supports the Pro Controller

They are probably small, but you can use the new pro controller like those guys playing splatoon did.

Of course they're small. Check the reveal video again, guys: those "joy-cons"* are the left and right side of a normal controller, so for size you can probably just measure up the area the size of the controls of the wiiu.




*nintendo apparently can't avoid going for terrible names :unsure:

IKR? Joy-Con sounds like the worst convention in the history of humans, not a controller

They seem pretty bad. Not comfortable, not innovative. Just some controllers. Only thing they got going for them is the disconnecting and use each one for multiplayer. But the multiplayer thing i don't see being used often. And the disconnecting thing is only necessary because of how big the thing is.

They look tiny and uncomfortable, but then again the GBA SP controls were tiny and uncomfortable, and the DS Lite controls were tiny and uncomfortable, but I got used to them (after much hand cramping).

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah

    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
