That thing is pretty cool.

I do remember seeing it in stores like target one time, but I didn't bother, since I wasn't think about the Wii-U and is non-compatibility with nintendo GCN controllers.

Plus we dont even know what the quality of 3rd party controllers will be like. I hear the current fake gc controllers are terrible in quality

Are those even legit? Even so they're probably bad for tourney play, but I guess since I tend to play casual it wouldn't hurt, but I'm still having doubts when it comes to quality.There are already classic controllers shaped like gamecube.

what's wrong with wireless controllers for tourney play? Just as long as they aren't turbo.
theeboredone

There is a small amount of lag compared to playing with a wired controller. So if you're either used to playing on a wired controller, you might mess up inputs...or the worse one being that when two characters attack at the same time, that wireless controller gets a disadvantage.
I mean...it's how I used to feel whenever I played wifi on an HDTV...and I knew the guy I was playing was using a standard CRT tv =/

Haha, I remember buying one of these a few months ago. Worse decision of my life. I didn't notice the nintendo logo was missing
I hate that controller.

Yeah the buttons on those things die after a week or so.

Wireless doesn't work because if you have 500 controllers at a single event, and like 64-128 frequencies for said controllers- plus the complications of synching.... it adds about an hour or two of work to each tournament, and would force a banning of friendlies in the same building to assure no frequency limit bypasses or communication issues.
Yeah, it's pretty much this ^, and the fact that no third party gamecube controller will be up to par with the original.

Pretty sad really IMO, if Nintendo doesn't really come up with a solution Im guessing alot of people will be complaining about such a thing due to the quality of 3rd party controllers, but I'd say a Classic controller pro is just as good I guess.

Does anyone else use the nun chuck with their right hand and the Wii-mote with their left? I know it's backwards, but for some reason it's always felt more natural for me to use them that way.

I really don't Nintendo is going to release wired controllers. As far as they're concerned, the competitive Smash scene doesn't even exist.
theeboredone

Maybe the norm for the Wii U package should be a tablet + classic controller >_>
Well as people said...USB controllers can prove dividends in terms of battery charge and connectivity.

That's gonna be hard. Given that it controls the on screen action, thus making it a controller.
Ugh, Nintendo and their gimmicky consoles

The gimmicks aren't that complicated....

He never said anything about gimmicks being complicated.

I'm not complaining about them being complicated. I'm complaining about them being there at all.

Look at the Wii. At first everyone was like OMG MOTION CONTROLS for about a year then we all went straight back to playing our more traditional consoles. I hate how Nintendo always has to have some sort of device their console revolves around ever since the DS (two screens for the DS, motion controls for the Wii, 3D for the 3DS and the tablet for the Wii U). And frankly, the only time any of these gimmicks have ever enhanced game play was the dual screens on the DS.
I'm sick of Nintendo always having to attach some fad of a gimmick that we'll all get bored of within a year to all of their consoles. If the Wii Me or whatever stupid name they come up with for Gen 9 ends up being a controller with a box and a modem I will applaud them and be excited. Watch, the Wii U is gonna come out and once the novelty of the controller wears off we'll all go back to playing out PS/Xboxes.

^ I don't recall there being a fad or gimmick for n64 or GC. Unless I missed something.
finalark
SNORLAX
I said its been that way since the DS. You missed that bit.
Basically, every Nintendo console from the DS onward has had some sort of gimmick that it revolves around. The Game Cube was the last traditional console Nintendo made.

And that's when I know a nap is needed.
Segastorm
Smash Apprentice
true...the gimmicks have never been too good since the DS, let's hope for a better experience with the Wii-U.
finalark
SNORLAX
I'm just hoping that the screen ends up enhancing game play for once. If Nintendo does this right it will be widely played and enjoyed like the DS. If they do it wrong then it will end up collecting dust in the corner like the Wii.
Segastorm
Smash Apprentice
Or nintendo could instead not make gimmicks, but just try and make a console that has more RAM, bigger hard drive, more efficient CPU, etc.
finalark
SNORLAX
That's what I concluded my rant with
I'm willing to accept that that's not going to happen, though.
Segastorm
Smash Apprentice
what!? I won't accept that, someone make a master plan forcing nintendo to do it in a way even subtile to them.
finalark
SNORLAX
It would be nice to see Nintendo go back to making traditional consoles, but sadly gimmicks have made them a ton of money lately. Unless the 3DS and Wii U are catastrophic failures its not gonna happen.
Segastorm
Smash Apprentice
The 3DS seems to be doing well so far....

Too bad the only good games available for it ATM is a port of a fifteen year old N64 game and apparently Dead or Alive according to meta critic.
And everyone I know hasn't touched the damn thing since they first picked it up. And when they do play it its with the 3D turned off.
Segastorm
Smash Apprentice
No....Smash 4? I'm saving up for that thing. When does it come out again?
Adilf Hotler

Ive only played my wii a handful of times...The 3DS is freaking awesome. Also, not buying the Wii U? Looks like no Smash 4 for you

SNORLAX
I'll wait for a price drop, second model and games I actually want to play. If the Vita ends up being more impressive (it certainly impressed me more than the 3DS did at E3) and having better games I'll probably end up picking up a Vita instead.
Oh well. I can just play it at a friend's house. And it will take more than just the distant promise of Smash 4 to convince me to drop $300 or so on this thing.Also, not buying the Wii U? Looks like no Smash 4 for you
