Will this work? i mean is someone going to buy a wii u if they dont like the tablet? This adds some comfort to buying it but if i didnt want a 2nd screen, i wouldnt buy it

hmm looks like a GameCube controller to me, it cant possibly loo like 360 controller that's just absurd.

I will use this, the Gamepad, my other Wiimotes and Classic Controller Pro.

This is the first time ever that I will have more than 2 controllers on Day 1 of owning the console. I will save around 120-180 dollars on controllers because of the great BC.

Wiipad is good enough for FPS games I think meaning I dont see anything wrong with it as far as that goes but I'll still buy the pro controller as a secondary.

People may complain that the triggers aren't analog but FPS games have never really used the analog capability for shooting.

the thing is, its not just a FPS controller - its better for ANY dual analogue control game.

third person games where you look/aim with the second analogue will be much better to control using this.
racing games where people use the right analogue for accelerating/braking will be much better to control using this.
basically, everything apart from games that use the face buttons and dpad the majority of the time will be better.

i HOPE that sony and microsoft both adopt the analogue-sticks-in-the-default -position setup for their next controllers, as thats how most games are played these days.

Why can't they just make one f$#king controller that is universal to all genres of games. The Dualshock, while far from perfect, is in my opinion the best example of a controller that is great for all genres of games.

Wii-U's stupid Ipad looking controller should be scrapped. Put more grunt in the thing & ship it with this controller off the bat, instead of f$#king around with dumb a$$ gimmick controllers again. I'd buy Wii-U immediately if Nintendo could commit to making a truly powerful next gen machine, even going against there usual policy, & selling the machine for a small loss at first & making it up on software.

At the moment, I am watching the Wii-U with skepticism, thinking power compromises WILL be made in favour of a expensive controller with a screen that will serve absolutely NO gameplay enhancements. The machine all has to be done for an affordable price to consumers, as well as obviously the fact that Nintendo under no circumstances, will come into the 2000's & accept that all other machines are jam packed with the latest tech & sell for less than production costs at first. Nintendo will not take a loss on hardware sales, & this may bite them in the a$$, when EVERY other consoles sells for either a loss, or like ONLive, often given away for free.

Nintendo are going to struggle more & more, & losses for them will worsen if they don't start adapting. Lets see what they do with Wii-U, as I won't be buying next gens Wii........So Nintendo better throw substantially better tech than whats in both 360 & PS3, or I won't be buying one. The controller & it's huge waste of money & potential for better tech, already p1$$es me off.

I never enjoyed my wii much since the motion controls always felt strange. now this controller looks good.

I dont think ill need a gamepro. Whats wrong with the gamepad besides your fear for the unknown, none of you have even used it yet.
