Is the 'new' Wii u controller actually the 'old' Wii U controller?

Clickable buttons was originally part of the WiiU controller design. 2 iterations later and now hopefully this one sticks.

DA_SHREDDER5123d ago

This has to be true, if not Nintendo cannot compete in the fps realm.

mike1up5123d ago

It is definitely more similar, but there are still differences: the 2 mystery buttons, analogs now being placed at more of an angle, and the controller appears slightly wider.

Actually, that isn't an old design at all. The user has admitted to being wrong about his original post.

Shiggy: "It's the new version indeed. While I initially thought it was an older design when I posted it in February, it's a newer one. The OAMI database has newer designs usually "above" older designs, thought it was the other way around."    ; http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

So this isn't an old design, it's actually a new one.

People got mad at me when I told them the WiiU wasn't a new system it was a Controller. The same Wii but with a upgrade you can still use your Wii remotes, the only thing new is the WiiU controller. I don't see them sell alot of system, but WiiU controller's Yes.

browngamer415123d ago

As well people should have got mad...because what you just said is provably untrue-why would you try to give people such uniformed and false information?

TheFirstClassic5123d ago

Not sure where you get your facts from. The system will be far more powerful, the controller could offer innovative ways to play games if used right, and for all we know they could come out with an online service which will equal live and psn.

But we don't know. So don't go acting like you do.

kingPoS5123d ago

They need to release the WiiU in black otherwise it'll stick out like a sore thumb next to my AV equipment.

LOL...or u could just use a black magic marker...

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi84d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer85d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot84d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno84d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay84d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno83d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK83d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
