This should be included in that Deluxe bundle, in my humble opinion.
Looks like a 360 controller with the right stick switched around.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;38060863]Looks like a 360 controller with the right stick switched around.[/QUOTE] That's pretty much exactly what it is
Does it lack rumble like the amazing 100 hour battery life wavebird did? The 20 hour decrease sounds like all they did was swap rf with standard bluetooth. But if they actually decided to use bluetooth 4.0 LE(low energy) and included rumble that would be amazing. BT LE is what you have in your logitech wireless keyboards and mice that have a bullshit claim of a 2+ year battery life.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;38060863]Looks like a 360 controller with the right stick switched around.[/QUOTE] And a D-pad that isn't [i]complete ass[/i]. I always thought the 360 controller would be the best controller ever if it simply had a better D-pad, so I'm pretty excited for this.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;38060863]Looks like a 360 controller with the right stick switched around.[/QUOTE] Just like an xbox 360 controller was a gamecube controller with the A-B-X-Y buttons rearranged in a more boring fashion, plus an extra shoulder button.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;38060863]Looks like a 360 controller with the right stick switched around.[/QUOTE] The 360 controller is very ergonomic, so it makes sense for other controllers to look like it.
OH my GOD you mean that controllers that fit human hands ARE GOING TO BE SIMILAR?!

Also, I don't think "it looks like a 360 controller" is a valid complaint, since, honestly, the 360 controller is very good.

[QUOTE=geel9;38063078]OH my GOD you mean that controllers that fit human hands ARE GOING TO BE SIMILAR?![/QUOTE] the gamecube controller fit in my hand incredibly well and still looked distinct.
are wii classic controllers going to be forward compatible with Wii U games? i have two of the pro models and quite like the way they feel and would prefer to not have to replace them if possible
[QUOTE=Trogdon;38063770]are wii classic controllers going to be forward compatible with Wii U games? i have two of the pro models and quite like the way they feel and would prefer to not have to replace them if possible[/QUOTE] They will be because Nintendo doesn't care about analogue triggers anymore. ;(
[QUOTE=nessman;38063950]They will be because Nintendo doesn't care about analogue triggers anymore. ;([/QUOTE] Well that saves me like $120 so I guess I'm okay with it, plus I prefer the layout of those controllers. Now only if we had pressure sensitive L+R buttons ;(
I don't really give a fuck if it's the exact same as the 360 pad. that shit feels good.
I'm going to be using the classic controller pro I got from Monster Hunter if i can because that controller was deigned by an omnipotent being. So good.
That is a shame that it isn't backwards compadable with Wii games.

As a matter of fact, you can see a very clear logical evolution of controllers from the sega master system to the xbox 360. But they don't go as far as ripping off the entire shape of the damn thing.

[quote]The new descriptions also confirm that it's not backward-compatible with Wii games. That means any games that use the Wii Classic controller will still need you to plug one into your Wii remote to play on the Wii U.[/quote] How'd they fuck that one up?
what would even be the point of having a GC keyboard? animal crossing?

why isnt it like the n64 controller its the best one and multi purpose
[QUOTE=Clio;38074393]why isnt it like the n64 controller its the best one and multi purpose[/QUOTE] Nintendo 64 controller is awful
[QUOTE=Clio;38074393]why isnt it like the n64 controller its the best one and multi purpose[/QUOTE] Are you a vortigaunt
[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;38076668]Are you a vortigaunt[/QUOTE] Just hold two of the prongs at once depending on the control scheme of the game you're playing. Seriously, it's not that hard to understand.
[QUOTE=Ardosos;38076698]Just hold two of the prongs at once depending on the control scheme of the game you're playing. Seriously, it's not that hard to understand.[/QUOTE] Or only hold the middle and right prongs, because almost no games use the d-pad or left bumper. They could have just moved the analogue to the left and only have 2 bumpers, with the d-pad in the middle or no d-pad at all.
