Wii/Wii U

[finalark]

Spoiler

Now this was the greatest controller ever conceived by mankind.

No other controller, not even the Wii U one for sure, will ever be able to surpass how amazing this controller was

A PlayTurn controller?

Or alternatively, a SatStation controller.

I dunno I searched up the Sega Saturn controller, this was the first thing that popped up, and I was lazy to not look up the actual controller seeing as this was close enough

Its basically the same things sans the select button and PS logo.

Ironically, the Saturn controller really is the best controller ever made. For 2D games (the Saturn is also the best 2D console ever built, seriously).

I also hear it's really good for fighters since the D-Pad was godly and the buttons were so nicely placed

I haven't played any fighters on the Saturn, so I can't confirm this.

The shoulder buttons on the older controllers are horrible, though.

EDIT: The model I'm referring to is this one:

EDIT EDIT: According to an interview, there is a possibility that GCN games will be downloadable for the Wii U:

Who hatin' on the N64 controller? That was a good controller. >=)

Don't quote the OP.

I am. And it was a horrible controller.

 

[Glöwworm]

The N64 controller by design is ok. It's a bit awkward to use but it's not entirely bad. The thing that makes the N64 controller from "ok" to "bad" is the horrible analog stick imo.

Pretty much.

That and half of the controller went completely unused for nearly every game on the console.

 

[F8AL]

Alright guys, let's just leave it at the fact that we all have our favourite controllers.

I expect Wii U discussion after this post.

Yeah, I just kind of felt like giving my opinion on the N64 controller. I was a bit confused at first; I thought this was the Nintendo 64 thread but now I see it's the Wii U thread lol.

So it's a given that the Gamecube controller won't be supported on the Wii U. Since we're all smashers here, we're worried about what controller we will use for Smash 4. Would people agree that the Wii Classic Controller Pro will be our best bet? I haven't used one before so I can't really give my opinion on whether I think it's good for smash or not.

 

[theeboredone]

I wouldn't mind using the classic controller...but it also depends on if they REVAMP the controls for smash games as well. I mean it definitely would be interesting if Mario's fireball would be similar to how you do a Hadouken.

But then again, I need to look at the CC again to see if regular Brawl controls could work.

 

[finalark]

I think I'll be trying the tablet. If that thing ends up being ridiculously uncomfortable I'll switch over to the Classic Controller.

 

[theeboredone]

Problem with teh tablet is...let's say there's a smash tournament and assuming Wii U sticks with one tablet per Wii U...who gets to use it?

 

[Vinylic.]

Don't quote the OP.

Should've warned me in the first place.

I'm pretty sure we hit this point with the Wii.

3rd party USB GC controller will happen IMO.

But people not understanding to controls will often do Hadoukens by mistake, would that mean unintentional fireball spam?

Didn't know about the downloading GC games part. And they're dropping compatibility with GC controllers?

"but a number of the games that were playable on GameCube can be downloaded from WiiWare."
I wonder what would be keeping them from having access to nearly all the GC games. That doesn't sound like too bad of a suggestions.

Don't say hopefully, and don't say can, but will.

Issues with developers. The question if the game will sell. Why put up a game that may just be on the server and waste space?

So the main targets would be GC games with higher selling rates?

Wow, that's pretty interesting, but like it's been mentioned; a GNC Controller via USB would work better with these downloadable versions on the Wii-U IMO.

 

[Deleted member]

There seems to be not much news in regards to this console recently. Then again, I've been spending too much of my time on the SSB4 threads, so yeah. I'll get unlazy soon and dig up some news.

What are you guys talking about? The PS2 controller is da best!!

Meh.. For all I know that bulky looking controller known as the Wii-U could have been a prototype, heck just look at Sony's e3 2005 PS3 controller.

I don't think it's a prototype. It looks like the design is pretty much finished.

Oh god the original Xbox.

That thing was ****ing huge man.

There was a redesign that was much better, The original was certainly unnecessarily bulky.

 

[finalark]

I don't think so. Don't forget the way that the PS3 controller looked when it was first announced.

There was an original Xbox slim? Links or it didn't happen.

 

[Pikaville]

I meant the original xbox controller BTW.

They made the smaller ones after a while.

The console itself was huge too.

 

[LLDL]

GameCube controllers won't be in this console anymore. But gamecube-like classic controllers can be made. Hopefully

There are already classic controllers shaped like gamecube.

I'm surprised that nobody knows about these. It's the same shaped as normal cube controller and it's interchangeable, so you can swap all of the buttons with your old gamecube controller buttons when you open it up. I have 3, so I have nothing to worry about when Wii U comes out.

 

[metalmonstar]

I think it would be funny if someone made a gif with spongebob asking patrick what the new nintendo system is called through the walkie talkie. Then patrick holding up his holds up his walkie talkie and goes "WIIIII UUUU WIIII UUUU." From the scene where patrick turns on his siren.

Anyway, the finished product is a ways off plenty of time to make redesigns. Definitely Gamecube knock off controllers for the new system will come. As shown the wii already has some, so I don't see why the new system wouldn't either. We just have to hope the quality is good. I am looking forward to it. I hope devs actually care about this system. There is so much potential and it is sad to see it go to waste like it has in the past.

 

[OmegaXXII]

I'm hoping to get a Wii soon. Would anyone recommend any RPG games if there are any?

Hmm. depends what type of RPG's you like, I personally recommend the Fire Emblem series, particulary FE: Path of Radiance for the GNC, its a good game if you are into strategy type of rpg's, but if you're looking to play a more traditional game I would suggest Vahalla Knights for the Wii, it''s also another gmae I highly enjoyed and I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it yet.

 

[theeboredone]

Arc Rise Fantasia is pretty generic, but a JRPG.

Whoa, this changes everything!
I'm definitely gonna get those lol.

 

[UltiMario]

That still requires a wireless connection to a WiiU, which ****s tournies sideways.

USB controllers or GTFO.

Yeah, I'm a fan of Fire Emblem :D
I'll check out Vahalla Knights

Thanks for the suggestion theboredone. I might give that a try as well. The cover reminds me of characters from Eureka 7 kind of.

That's a terrible drawback. Hopefully corded ones are available.
