I love this controller has it gives an alternative for gamers who want a more traditional gaming experience...this controller in my opinion should come with the console when purchased...

live2play5142d ago

i recall nintendo said it was a seperate peripheral

Bleucrunch5142d ago

dam LOL I was hoping that that was a mis spoke on their part...smh

meganick5142d ago

I'm of the opinion that Nintendo should release two versions of Wii U, one that includes the tablet controller, and a cheaper one that just has the pro controller. That way, people who aren't interested in the tablet controller can still get the system, but also save some money.

Dang, I'm loving that patented D-Pad on that controller. Nintendo's D-Pad is always beast for fighting games. Cant wait to see a Smash Brother game on the Wii U.

hkgamer5142d ago

The d-pad was good when it was released on the snes. I don't remember a good d-pad on any nintendo devices after that.

Sony's DS2 pad with touch sensitivity was alot better for fighting games to be really honest.

ChunkyLover535142d ago

Nintendo has their D-Pad patented. I have always found their D-Pad to be the best for my own personal preference when it comes to fighting games. I don't see how Sony's D-Pad would even work on some games, its not even fully connected.

I guess we all have our own opinions though.

HalfNerdHalfAmazing5142d ago

Since I'm used to the Xbox 360 controller I don't like that the buttons are under the joy stick

svoulis5142d ago (Edited 5142d ago )

While interested I am kind of worried to see how I can adapt to the face buttons being under the thumbstick.

Strange but I still really wanna try it.

Ulf5142d ago (Edited 5142d ago )

Why does everyone go out of their way to state how this vanilla design, mediocre ergonomics controller is so great... you have to pay extra for it, I thought?

What is so great, comparatively, next to other controllers?

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.

PRIMORDUS99d ago (Edited 99d 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.

0hMyGandhi124d 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.

AuraAbjure123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer125d 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.

-Foxtrot124d 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_Box124d ago (Edited 124d 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

Inverno124d ago

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

Eonjay124d 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.

Inverno123d 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.

Killer2020UK123d 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 🤷‍♂️
