who cares about rumble ? were you being sarcastic ?

What if it's the best rumble but a broken controller ?

Then rumble doesn't matter at all.....so there for rumble doesn't really matter at all.

That is like getting served the best meal of your life but complaining about the Brand of salt that is in the shaker.

3-4-5 your comment is borderline retarded ;P

I'll pick this up with my wiiu, but I wish it wasn't so expensive.

GuruStarr784978d ago

I didn't like it when I used it..... being used to the 360 controller, I felt like the buttons should be where the right analog stick is and vice versa...

having the buttons across from the left stick is a must... especially when you're only using the right stick to typically change camera angles in most fps games....

Lucretia4978d ago

yeah its a pathetic controller design, they stole the 360's controller and flipped the buttons. flipping the buttons was their worst mistake, its near unusuable with that.

I cant even imagine how hard battling the camera in ninja gaiden 3 will be on the wii-u with this crappy controller

stragomccloud4978d ago (Edited 4978d ago )

What do you mean flipped the buttons?

Also, the analog stick placement of the 360 controller was first copied from the gamecube. The face buttons of the 360, and the PS1 are the same as the Super Nintendo, and shoulder buttons... also Super Nintendo. The analog triggers... also Gamecube. Rumble/analog stick goes to N64, Though Nights into Dreams had an analog stick, it wasn't really used in the way that the N64 came to use it.

Dual analogs/dual rumble in general.... points go to Sony.

As for the shape.... general ergonomics kind of dictate that.

This should be included with the console!

Raider694978d ago

It is in Europe!In Europe and UK the pro controller comes bundle on the Zombi U console pack.

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.

PRIMORDUS42d ago (Edited 42d 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.

0hMyGandhi67d 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.

AuraAbjure67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer68d 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.

-Foxtrot68d 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_Box68d ago (Edited 68d 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

Inverno68d ago

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

Eonjay68d 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.

Inverno66d 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.

Killer2020UK67d 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 🤷‍♂️
