Nintendo Wii U Thread

[dcultrapro]

I just meant if you want a second player to be able to use one... its just a bit of a stupid gimmick if only one person can/needs to use it and the rest have to put up with the abysmal Wii controllers... but that's just me

Nintendo said that there won't be any games that support a 2nd WiiU pad until 2013. I'm not sure how much they'll be supported anyway. I'm not convinced that the Wii U has the bandwidth to pump full-screen gameplay out to multiple pad's LCDs simultaneously. It will probably just be menus, maps, or stats on the controller screen... adding extra pads will probably be expensive just for minor novelty value. They'd be better off supporting DS/3DS for additional players.

For me, I'm far more interested in the Wii U Pro Controller than the gimmicky tablet anyway. On the Wii, the games that I like are much better suited to the Classic Controller than a Wiimote.

whats the Wii U pro controller look like? I was tempted by games like the Conduit and Metroid Prime 3 but because neither had PROPER controller support I didn't bother

[tomwaits]

Here it is... I'm hoping that most 'hardcore'/multiplatform games will support it.

How dare you say that! Nintendo don't copy anything! They are innovaters don't you know! 

[dcultrapro]

yeah, innovative.... xbox controller "innovates" by raising the left analogue stick above the level of the right one... Nintendo "Innovates" by ALSO raising the Right stick up to the same level... its pretty ridiculous when you think about it that way but from a purely non-biased perspective it actually looks pretty nice/reasonable

[onthinice]

I agree with Laird! To me it looks like a modified N64 controller which came out before the X-Box.

[TL]

I was taking the piss 

All the things Nintendo claim to have innovated that have stolen off other people.

So, I guess I'm supposed to be excited about the We-You? 

[onthinice]

Only if you get excited about waking up and thanking Nintendo every morning for saving video games as we know them.
