Rumour: Revised Wii U Controller - Proper Analog Sticks.

Just wondering what the weight of that thing is going to be? I'm not going to condemn it to I have seen more of it in action, it really doesn't make me want to pick it up and play with it.Timbury

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"][QUOTE="SuperFlakeman"]

a) 100m Wii's sold => 100/200/300m Wiimotes out there in the wild.

b) having the wiimotes in play is a great way to off-set the loss of not getting profits off of Wii U tablet sales, since those won't be sold separately.

c) Nintendo heavily depends on local MP; Wii Sports, Resort, MK Wii, NSMB Wii

You are out of touch with reality.

Well tbh it's software based, but I'm certain Nintendo has nailed it. Wii Pictionary = print moneys

Interesting, this is making the wait for E3 even more exciting. I want to play it now! When I do get my hands on it, I will be sure to let you know what I think! I found the tablet very light and easy to hold last year, and the thing was not even that heavy, despite the big brick on the back that was tethering it to the wall. yoshi_64

Looky, looky. Too lazy to post.

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"] Yeah casual games may support them, may. Do you think casuals will even be encouraged to buy Wii U yet though? Just to play games the same way they do on their Wii? The rest of us will buy it just because its new. Motion control in games like Wii Sports stole them this gen, I think it will be social apps running on the tablet that they hope will steal them this time. Not more waggle. tomarlyn

Who said the Wiimote will be taken "as seriously as dual analog" I said it'll be in play next gen because it's still needed for some games like bowling/tennis, wm+ in Zelda HD and of course for local multiplayer.

Most Nintendo games will be tablet based ofc.

I said your're out of touch with reality because you think it's all gonna be F-Zero, Metroid, Zelda, 3D Mario, StarFox and sht, nope, there will be a ton of focus on Mii stuff aswell for the expanded audience. Wii U sports, animal crossing mmo, wii pictionary, wii fit 2/vitality sensor, nsmb mii with "shtty graphics" and mii integration, etc.

I didn't say that's all its going to be, I just said its very unlikely you will see much support for the Wiimote if its an accessory IMO. Its on its way out otherwise we wouldn't have the tablet at all, but an improved Wiimote/Nunchuck combo instead and I'm glad they're not doing that.tomarlyn

Wow you just don't get it man.

The only game leak we have so far is Rayman Legends, and that game requires Wiimotes for multiplayer, which is a huge deal for that game.

Aonuma has heavily hinted that Zelda HD will be wm+ exlusive. Z E L D A H D

Is that a counter?

You should know that it was Miyamoto who championed for WM+ in the first place, while Aonuma was sceptical.

Convice you of what, exactly? I haven't proposed anything outside of what I said. Those two alone solidifies that the Wiimote is very much in play, to what extent we don't know yet.

I have another one for you. They showed Wiimote gameplay in the very first Wii U reel, you need it to play golf in Wii U Sports.

We don't know to what extent other than that it is relevant next gen.

I expect it to be used alot. You need Wiimotes for local MP and that's huge for games like Mario Party, NSMB Mii, Mario Kart Wii with its Wii Wheel, Smash Bros 4.

For the OMG HARDCORE FZERO STARFOX METROID NINTENDO IS BACK BABY = uPad. Core games that are SP focused will mainly use the uPad, unless it's Zelda where wm+ is a better fit. I think that's where your ignorance stems from, you only care about this part of the spectrum.

3rd party games will obviously only use the uPad because their games are SP or online MP, not local MP, and all they will do is port the PS3/360 experience which practically demands the dual analog setup.

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"]Words cannot describe how uncomfortable that looks. LastRambo341

Question is, can you hold it for hours on end like you would a classic controller?

You need Wiimotes for local MP SuperFlakeman

the only thing they need to do now is remove the screen and I'm sold.

Let me know when the nes,snes,n64 era nintendo is back.

LOL @ e3 1996 nintendo bragging about n64 having the best graphics what happened to you nintendo?

...what I want from Nintendo is... proper hardware for proper graphics...

taterfrickintot

This is the mindset I have a problem with in gamers, "proper graphics"? How about good hardware for more freedom to create? Imagine what Nintendo could do to their action/adventure games, like Metroid and Zelda, with enough power. Imagine what new tricks and physics Mario could deal with-- but nope, graphics.

Here's a model comparison for it in different angles.

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

thats ok..we actually invented the analog stick...sony liked it so much they put 2 on their controllers.

Its just a contoller people, calm the fvck down!

That's the best Nintendo could do given the entire year? They're nearly identical! The revised one looks bigger and bulkier as well and still fail to address the cheap lousy single touch resistive screen that requires the controller to be held with one hand and stylus with the other. It's was miserable enough playing kid icarus on the 3ds, just imagine how much more miserable it's gonna be with the 3ds replaced by a giant bulky controller. runbleduck

It looks about an inch wider and then from top to bottom it looks smaller.

Is it seriously going to be that large? I don't know about this....

Too bad they don't do the same thing with the 3DS, it needs better controls my God. The thing is unplayable.

I swear that touch screen BETTER be capacitive and smooth as butter like the iPad. It's 2012, there is no excuse for it to be using a resistive touch screen. Especially on a screen that big, it will be a nightmare.

Rumor: Employee Responsible for Leaking Wii U Controller Photo Fired, May Face Litigation

Nintendo doesn't mess around when people leak stuff they'd rather save for E3. According to Erlend Wollan, a system development consultant for several platforms, the employee who posted up the photo of his dev kit Wii U controller has been fired and may face a suit in court. Some secrets are best kept to yourself, especially in a business that takes information leakage very seriously!

"Dev at Traveller's Tales who leaked updated WiiU controller (now with sticks!) already fired and may be taken to court. Respect NDA's folks."
