Gaming Wii U VC/ Wiiware Speculation Thread

the shoulder buttons are for drfiting/sliding round corners, more press being a more severe turn. you can play it without, but it's hard to be any good and ruins the experience of the game IMO. i've tried it with the CC Pro and would never want to play it again with on/off triggers.

I see. Well, even then, double-tapping for sharper slides? Not perfect, but I think it's an acceptable alternative, personally

doesn't sound like a good option. for example i think F-Zero GX is more or less unplayable without the GC pad.

Ah. I haven't played F-Zero GX (despite F-Zero being one of my favorite Nintendo franchises), so I wouldn't know. Does it use pressure to determine acceleration, or something?

True, I didn't take into consideration of the pressure sensitive sliding. Indeed this is important to the basic gameplay.

The GameCube had unique triggers (analog with a digital button at the base), so there are probably some games that use that functionality.

well if nintendo does infact buy back Rare, like the rumors suggest.. then maybe we'd finally get goldeneye64,perfect dark, etc etc

depends what you consider acceptable i guess. but being a primary feature of the pad the analogue shoulders were utilized in a fair few GC games. i don't think a double tap solution is acceptable, it's certainly restricting the controls while making them more cumbersome if nothing else. and in extreme precision situations (all of f-zero GX) it'd be near impossible to be any good or clear the game.

what would be acceptable would be an adapter (perhaps USB or wiimote based) to enable the use of GC pads again or a WaveBird 2.0, with rumble. not very likely but hey...
