Rumour: Revised Wii U Controller - Proper Analog Sticks.

I'm actually somewhat excited for a Nintendo console:o

That gif looks edited even worse than the other one.

Well, it's more accurate.

i don't see how it's the ds l and r buttons

The ergonomics of the back have been changed too, now there's a grip, presumably this will allow the controller to lie more flat in games like golf. Seems even more comfortable.

Trademarked or not, Nintendo really needs to make another dpad (they are terrible for fighting games imo).gamefan67

Fighting games are supposed to be played with the arcade stick.

That comparison GIF from GAF isn't accurate. Here's a better one I made using the Sizes from the patents:

No it's a complete circle. The one D4W1L4H has in the pic is the Gamecube octagon analogue sticks.

Oh and I don't know what you mean by your last sentence. Were you talking to someone else? >_>

This is just awesome.Can't wait for E3.

After further contemplation, I can see that everything will backfire with that... thing. Nintendo needs the mass market casuals to succeed. I love the E3 11' version, much more elegant. It's super clean and accessible, the other one is the result of listening to 3rd party devs... It's asymmetrical, uneven (sticks stick out way too much), its form/aspect ratio looks weird/off, one is inviting/simple and the other is more complex/off-putting, the analog sticks overall make the damn thing look hideous.. damn.

The Ubisoft leak still had the E3 build. I don't care how legit this rumour is and whatever patents back it up, I still believe. I'm calling this old/fake.

I just can't see casuals picking that thing up to play like this:

The analog stick doesn't have the octagon gate around it this time. This basically makes the Wii U controller analog sticks the first 'true' analog sticks Nintendo has ever had, with full 360 degrees movement, and L3/R3 functionality.charizard1605

3. Proper HDD atleast 160GB space - ?
4. Traditional Analog Controller option - ?
5. Serious 3rd party support - ?
6. More Mature rated games - ?

A 7.8 from former Gamespot writer, Greg Kasavin is... terrible? I'll admit, the overall consensus wasn't as high as I thought, but a 66 from Metacritic and a 68-69 from Gamerankings isn't bad either.

Saying Geist did critically bad everywhere is just wrong. The only places it did bad were with Edge (no surprise) and Nintendo Power (I read that article, so I would know), not to mention one place dubbed it one of the worst horror games, but that was ONE place.

If Zelda ends up looking like the concept demo il be tempted to pick up a Wii U.

I highly doubt il pick one up at launch as the available games will all be party casual based.

still i like the tablet and the possibities it brings, just hope they make non casual games that use it well.

Linky? would be much appreciated :)

I had no idea they were circle pads to begin with, so this news doesn't really phase me.

I'm more concerned with other controller news. I really really really really really really really really really really don't want them to keep the Wii Remote around as a "primary" controller for the console.

I would like to see either compatibility with four tablet controllers, or one tablet controller + three standalone wireless (with rechargeable battery pack) classic controller pros.

Unless of course they really enhance the Wii Remote, and actually make it accurate, and give it a rechargeable battery pack, and remove the need to tether it to the nunchuk or classic controller

They should have left the octogonal gate in the left stick, at least.

Oh well

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="SuperFlakeman"]

If we assume the screen and button sizes are the same, it definitely is the same height but wider. Look at the space between the d-pad and the edge on both screenshots.

Edit: lol I just went through the gaf thread: "It's wider. See how much space there is between the d-pad and the edges in both pics?"great minds something something

SuperFlakeman

Yeah but I still think it's slightly wider, wanna bet??

Well, that's one of the problems gone. I wonder if they'll be clickable too, would be nice.

Edit: They've also moved the button placement slightly.

You can see that the old controller had the start/select buttons on the bottom next to the home button -- now they're on the right side.

Kinda wish the face buttons were above the right stick. Just seems weird as it is now, idk.

Bleh, the circle pads made it unique and differentiated from a typical gamepad. The texture of the circle pad was also nice and I was able to do stuff with it that the analogue stick sucks in.LastRambo341
