Wii U Specs

[Deleted-220713]

Is that control even going to be that comfortable to use? o.0

no it won't hopefully they re-design the damn thing

You were there to try it out?

was you?
try holding an ipad (i know you have one) like you would the controller for a long time and you'll get the idea.

The i-Pad is a completely different shape.
have you seen the back of the controller?

you've all been lied to this is what the controller really looks like

Funny, the first thing that came to mind when i saw the controller was this:

Making the WiiU Controller black rather than white would have made it seem like less of a toy.

This isn't something you need to hold to see that it won't feel right. Go hold a picture frame kinda tightly like you would a controller for an hour or so. There ya go, you'll have an excellent idea of how it will feel. The Wii remote idea was reasonable, even from the get go (I actually thought it was pretty cool upon unveiling). Handheld, good size, easy to control with one hand, or both with a light, simple attachment. This looks like they built a controller around a tablet.

I'm sorry, but this comment is extremely ignorant...sure you may not have to hold it but you have to actually SEE it. Which you didn't even do that. It's got controller handles just like the 360 controllers but perhaps not as ergonomic. A picture frame is flat. People that actually got to hold/play one say that it feels lighter than the iPad (which may or not be true). Sure it won't be as comfortable as a 360 controller (at this point) but it still seems comfortable enough.

And it's blatantly obvious they built a controller around a tablet seeing how tablets are the hottest thing right now.

Its not an iPad, it has grips on the back to help it be more comfortable.

This is one of those things people will need to hold themselves before they can even make a fair comment.

Are you idiots? You seriously think that Nintendo didn't think about this stuff first? Of course they've made it comfortable and I bet that when you see it IRL you won' think that it looks so "hideous".

If anything I think the Wii U controller will feel more like this:

I loved my Game Gear.

They were video game caveman back then, they think this stuff through now. Plus I got hundreds of tweets saying that this thing is comfortable. I heard PSVita is uncomfortable, but I'm still getting that. I think I can get used to that.

I think it will be worth the money still.

anyone know the RAM?

Well, that thing is pretty big. It may not feel uncomfortable after all, but will it make you feel as comfortable as some of the other consoles controllers?

We might get used to the idea of having the right stick above the buttons.. but still not the best idea.

The controller doesn't have all that much electronics in it, it's not going to be heavy. To top that off, it seems quite slim aswell. It's basically a sheet of plastic with the usual controller in it, plus the screen and the camera - it can't be all that heavy. The design looks quite ergonomic and comfortable to hold. I'd say it's going to be quite cool indeed.

For people who say it's too large to reach all the buttons - your sense of geometry is flawed. The distance between buttons does not change depending on how much space is between your hands, you sillies you.

The right stick IS in an unusual place, but due to the fact that there's a screen in the middle, it couldn't have been placed in the lower left-hand corner as usual, and it can't be put directly underneath the buttons because you'd have to break your thumb to use it. I think they chose the best place out of the lot.

BTW, does anyone know how this controller will be powered? Batteries? If so, are they rechargeable? It would be nice it it came with a power mat or something.

If i remember correctly, you can charge the controller

. So yes, its rechargeable.

I think right after Nintendo's conference they said the "controller is rechargable" and I don't really see a battery flap on it, so I'd presume it has a built-in battery. Either that, or it's the come-back of rechargable double-A's.
