So whats the verdict on this? Failed concept or fantastic accessory? Are there any games that axtually make good use of it or no point in even having it?
Commercially it's a failed concept, which is what companies actually care about. Sooner or later, Nintendo will have to stop blaming marketing and start blaming themselves.
It was kind of nice to have when playing earthbound, and nice for typing online, but really not worth the extra 100 bucks
>>257499938
What is it with nintendo and trying to bring new technology since the wii?
Nes, snes and n64 didnt bring anything crazy and they did amazing.
>>257499778
Neither a failure or the best console ever is just one of the many shit consoles of this gen.
Good controller. Could be used more but at the same time it's good that they're not cramming it into every game.
>>257500216
They can't keep up with the graphical upgrades of their peers, so they're trying to anticipate what they could do that would make their games unique, feelings and games that you could only get on a Nintendo console. To be honest, most of the 1st Party games that use it are great. But the problem is that the other devs have to worry about making a game for more than just one console.
Best controller ever. Only thing that could trump it is if it had the gamecube analog/digital triggers
1. Should've had analogue triggers.
2. Should've been optional. All the best WiiU games don't even use the touchscreen.
>>257499778
I think it looks like a peripheral from the '90s
>>257502409
by far the worst controller ever.
it's is the worst holding controller i have ever held, regardless of the good buttons and touchpad
>>257500216
>n64
>did amazing.
they tried make powerfull consoles and they sold like shit, then they released the wii and printed money
>>257503014
Sounds like you haven't held it.
>>257503092
i own one. every time i use it i'm reminded how shit it is
>>257503014
>>257503190
You've just proven to everyone you have never held one in your life.
I like the way the controller feels. I wish they actually used the gamepad more, though I mostly have games that don't really use it. If you like Nintendo games, it's good. PC + Wii U/3ds is the best combo this console gen.
I got the Zelda one, it looks nice.
>>257499778
Eh, I found it nice in WWHD. Switch items without pausing is really useful. In MH3U, you can put the map and items and stuff on it, but it's not as useful in that game IMO.
All around, I'd say it's a gimmick. That said, I still like my Wii U and would recommend one on sale.
>>257503370
you've proven you're nothing but a shill.
its a fucking RECTANGLE there are 0 grooves and its too large to fit in one hand like the NES controller did
>>257503646
>grooves
I dont think you're holding it right.
>>257499778
I enjoy the controller a lot, the off TV play is pretty sweet.
>>257503646
Why the hell would you ever need to hold the Game Pad or the NES controller with one hand?
Unless you're some dying Ethiopian child, it is very easy to hold the Game Pad with one hand.
>>257503646
And now you've proven without a doubt you never held one
Get the fuck out faggot
>>257499778
It feels amazing in your hands, but I'm biased in that I own one, maybe I've just convinced myself I enjoy it.
I like it a lot, it's lighter and comfier than I expected and the touchscreen works really well. It always bothers me when you hear someone up with a plan to "fix the Wii U" and the first step is dropping it entirely. It's the console's hugest feature and it does what it's meant to perfectly, it's hardly the fucking Kinect.
It's a nice idea. Off TV play is about the most use I get out of it though. A second screen that makes you shift your entire focus to it from the main screen doesn't work as well as say the DS where you aren't move your eyes/face as much and can more easily concentrate on two screens.
So while it's a nice idea, it's mostly useless for me. The pro controller is way better for me than the gamepad.
>>257499778
It's pretty fun console. Nice features, a lot of various options like controllers or external HDD. Enough games out and more to come.
Wii U worth it for me.
I have most consoles of other gens, and this gen I don't see a reason to get any other one of mediaboxes.
Sales-dick measuring contest can fuck off, I really don't care about that shit at all, and most people who do, just want to get some console war bullshit.
>>257504289
you misread what i mean. i meant to properly grip it with a hand. no other controller will consume your palm like the wiiu
>>257504306
you are the biggest shill i've ever seen.
you can see it in the OP image. ther eis no place that conforms to a palm at all. you're pretty much just holding it with your fingers
As the owner of both a 3DS and a Wii U, I have to say both Sony (Vita+PS3/4) and Nvidia (Shield) do the whole offscreen deal a lot better. I'd much rather have Nintendo focus on a single screen handheld that adds to their home console, instead of a gimmicky piece of junk that does nothing without the console.
>>257506197
>both Sony (Vita+PS3/4)
>offscreen deal a lot better
30 FPS cap and input lag is better than no noticeable input lag and same FPS as a game on a tv screen? What?
I like it. Some people won't and hey, that's their thing. But that won't stop me from liking it.
>>257506570
Conceptually better. Point was, the Wii U gamepad does nothing alone.
Off-TV play: fantastic.
Actual gameplay integration: still waiting for justification.
As a controller: prefer the pro controller, but have no major beef with it.
I fucking love it.
But then, I love the idea of playing handhelds anyway, so a "Handheld" console that plays console-quality games anywhere in my house I want is a really nifty idea to me.
I don't see the point, I haven't played my Wii for a while so I won't buy a $200 controller for it
>>257499778
it's okay, but the analogue stick on the button side should be below the buttons. it keeps fucking with me on wwhd
>>257507572
Nice concept you have there. Get a worse off-tv experience just for the small price of additional (to price of the ps4 or ps3) 250$ of a portable console which is half-dead aside from some japan titles.
There a lot of nice concepts out there, sure. But realization of those is terrible.
Considering Vita costs just a little less than Wii U (not counting stupid memory cards) - and can't do shit if you don't have PS3/PS4 (and PS Now is pure garbage)
I don't see how anyone could defend Vita as something good and useful. Aside of japanese games and screen - that thing is pure trash.
If not Muramasa I'd sold mine already.
>>257507921
How are things in 2012, time traveler?
>>257499778
You can't really say if it's failed or not yet, it's only been out for a year or two, right?
>>257508743
Didn't you know? If console don't sell millions each month - they are failures.
>>257499778
its awesome if you ask me, but the way they advertise it for all their games probably really scared off 3rd party developers from making games from them
>>257509065
Funny since toddlers were the ones who brought sales to /v/
>>257509880
Suuure.
Dick measuring contest about sales is in every thread about any console for fucking years.
>>257510061
remember the wii era just to mock sony and xbox? and it was ok to post sales when nintendo was winning
>>257510148
It was never ok, at least for me. I didn't have Wii and I could care less about sales.
I have a Wii U, and I still don't care about sales, only about games.
It's usual shitposter business, only made to fuel console war bullshit. No matter which console is "winning" dick measuring contest. Idiots do react on other idiots posting about numbers irrelevant to them. That was happening, that will keep happening. It's a way to start shitstorm with same kind of idiots and get some weird type of "pleasure" out of it.
Typical "it's okay when Nintendo does it" usually is same fuel as sale numbers. More often used pretty wrong, and sometimes used right. People who react on that are idiots as well. And who post that are idiots too.
This place full of them, didn't you notice? People just want to shitpost about console wars all day long, it's their way of having retarded fun I guess.
>>257505742
Anon, I found this picture of you, and I think I can understand why you have a problem with the gamepad.
>>257511068
>I could care less about sales
So you DO care?
Waiting on my Wii U, should come today.
Seeing as I'll play on my PC monitor instead of a TV I think I'll like it a lot. I don't have to look up or down a lot to look at the different screens, my Wii U will be right on the desk so charging while playing wont be annoying and I like the idea of being able to play games on it while watching a stream or some shit I wishI had 2 monitors
>>257512302
Damn, that phrase again. I have a problem with this phrase cause I always use it thinking it's the same as "I don't care about". I got corrected already couple of times, but yet to remember it.
Sorry, not native English speaker.
But actually I do care a little, I think. Cause they are needed to increase console's game library. I just don't shitpost about sales anywhere and really don't give them that much of a thought aside from acknowledging them.
>>257512838
>Couldn't
>Could not
>I couldn't care less
>I could not care less
>>257512502
What stops you getting second monitor? I used CRT one for a while till I got new monitor, then I still kept using old 4:3 LCD as second monitor.
I mean you can get any monitor pretty damn cheap if not free, and it'll do as second monitor quite nicely.
Only reason not to get it is physical space constraints.
>>257513203
Mostly the actual cost of one. I do have some space issues but I could probably work around it by moving some shit.
>>257513076
Sorry anon, I know that's possible grade school stuff for you, but it's still confusing to me from time. Especially when I'm damn sleepy.
>>257513360I'm not a native English speaker either, anon.
>>257513348
Look around some yard sales, thrift shops - whatever you have around you. Getting used monitor should be pretty damn easy.
Usually old 4:3 stuff is just tossed out anyway.
>>257513462
Then you have better understanding of English than me, good for you. I kinda never took English lessons seriously, and all my knowledge goes from net and videogames.
>>257504626
Off TV play is the best fucking thing ever.
That level of convenience is amazing.
>>257513723
I wasn't tying to put you down or anything, just that if you know that "couldn't" = "could not" you probably wont make that mistake again.I learned most of my English through films, WoW and Morrowind
>>257513529
Yeah an old 4:3 might fit, but like I said it's pretty cramped here.
>>257514010
Nah, I do know that, thankfully.
My brain is just for some fucking reason thinks that phrase "I couldn't care less", "I could care less" and "I don't care" have very similar meaning. But if I take some time and think about those phrases I start to understand their differences.
I just can't do that on the fly.
>>257499778
It's a fantastic addition that gets way more flack than it deserves. The only complaint I can agree on is it's abysmal battery life.
I'm serious, it is amazing having a secondary touch screen for console games. Wind Waker is the best example I can think of off the top of my head. Being able to switch weapons and tools on the fly was amazing, among other things.
>>257514125
>steelseries mousepad
>PC is on the table
mah nigga.
But yeah, I think with little sokoban action you can fit 19" 4:3 there or so.
>>257514516
Just a reminder that you can get official better battery which enhance time to 8 hr or so. (same as dualshock 4)
>>257514780
In that case there is literally no downside to the wii u gamepad. Yes, I'm aware I used the word literally. I fucking mean it.
>>257514974
Well, I myself do find Wii U gamepad not as comfortable for long sessions as Wii U Pro controller, but that's about it. Not very a huge complain.
>>257505851
>admitting your only bases was the OP's image and you were a lying little skunk this whole time
Maximum kek get the fuck out
Where's my D&D Dungeon Master game?
>>257515228
Oh, yeah I suppose there is that. Then again as someone who can comfortably play Kid Icarus for hours with no problems, comfort's not really a problem I've ever run into with the gamepad.
>>257514780
DS4 gets 11-12 hours depending on if you dim the light or not.
I like it for off tv play but holy fuck the face buttons are the loosest pieces of shit ever
>>257515451
No it doesn't. It's like 6 at regular brightness, and adds another 30minutes to an hour with it dimmed all the way.
>>257515349
Yeah, Wii U gamepad has somewhere near weight as classic 3DS, maybe even lighter.
So if you don't have problem with long sessions via 3DS, you surely won't have any problems with Wii U gamepad.
I guess other problem is that you need go thru a lot of hassle and waiting time to get a replacement.
>>257515323
Niche market I guess. Maybe some indie studio will do it along the line, but I'd won't get your hopes much.
>>257515451
Yeah, but it's still pretty pathetic time for a controller without much going on.
>>257515580
>th-those aren't handles!
why the fuck did nintendo discontinue the wii u pro remote??
>>257515915
>>257515580
The best part is
HE WAS TRYING TO CONVINCE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE SYSTEM THAT A PART OF IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY EXISTS
HAHAHAHA shitposters.
>>257516046
er, what?
>>257516179
I think he meant the classic controller pro
>>257516179
tried to pick one up at gamestop and they told me nintendo pays to advertise them, but they are discontinued and they have none in stock.
>>257516309
>>257516313
Ah, that one. Yeah, that was dumb decision to make, I agree.
Maybe they guessed that market is saturated enough with them, dunno. My only slight hope that it means it'll be possible to use Wii U Pro controller with Wii mode. But if not, that was really fucking dumb thing to do. I have one, and it's pretty good, I doubt there is 3rd party ones of similar quality.
>>257516309
no anon, the wii u pro controller is discontinued
Only info i could find was on gamefags and a nintendo site though...
>>257499778
It's an amazing console that's under rated as fuck because people can't get past retarded hardware.
>>257500146
>Literally makes every game better just by using it or using it in conjunction with other remotes
No, it was WELL worth it.

The Wii U Pro controller is still being sold, are you nuts?
http://wiiudaily.com/2014/04/classic-pro-controller-discontinued/
>>257516650
what? well, that's just bullshit, anon. Quick google search says that it's only white model is the one which is rumored to be discounted.
Wii U Pro controller itself is still manufactured without problem.
>>257516796
He's spreading disinformation. Don't reply.
>>257503646
>its a fucking RECTANGLE there are 0 grooves and its too large
Did you somehow get a hold of the 2011 model they showed off before it was even announced?
The new one is neither of those.
Failed concept AND fantastic accessory. I really like the gamepad, I just wish the handles on it were larger for my man hands.
>>257516796
He talks about white version of Wii U pro controller, and for some reason assign those rumors to Wii U pro controller in general.
>>257516650
Odd? I bought one a few days ago and there were some still in stock. Are you sure you don't mean this one?
>>257510148
It's okay to mock them when their consoles are shit.
It's like mocking an asshole.

What Nintendo needs to do for its next portable
>Take gamepad
>Slim it down somewhat
>Improve build quality, mainly of the buttons and triggers
>Throw some high end mobile hardware inside, including a powerful mobile GPU from Nvidia

Nintendo fucked up bad. It tried to ride the tablet trend of the IPad and all those things, instead of taking this generation as a "back to basics" stance.
Everybody and they're fucking grandma owned a Wii. Everybody. Announcing a new console that's fully compatible with all the accessories that the wii had, to reel in the casuals was a match made in heaven, but they still fucked up.
>>257503042
Because it stuck with cartriges, it wasn't gonna fucking sell.
>>257517269
>couple of retailers don't stock their nintendo stuff properly
>CONTROLLER IS DISCOUNTED
Awesome logic right there. Go order one from amazon or so,
>>257517593

I want more wiimote shooters!

>It tried to ride the tablet trend of the IPad
It was first being prototyped in 2005
>>257517593
>Nintendo fucked up bad. It tried to ride the tablet trend of the IPad and all those things, instead of taking this generation as a "back to basics" stance.
The Wii was the back to the basics stance.
The gamepad isn't trying to copy the Ipad you fucking jackass, It was trying to copy the DS.
You know one of the most successful gaming systems ever?
Stop being a dumbass.
They aren't even trying to appeal to the casual crowd like they did with the wii.
>>257517690
no the worker there told me that nintendo discontinued it and they had none in stock
just a firsthand account and i too can find no info, but only telling u what i was told anon

I'm still googling but I find it hard to believe you.
>>257517824
Too expensive, touch screens weren't as good as they are now.
>>257517824
Excuse me? I have the final product right here
they probably just wanna push the comeback for the Gamecube controller
and maybe avoid any patent trolling from microsoft in the future since it looks very similar...
>>257517593
If the Wii U had been named something else it would have sold gorillions. Casuals are literally too stupid to understand it's not a Wii accessory and by the time they did, PS4 and Xbone were already out.
That said, Nintendo needs to get their shit together and make an actual competitively powerful console next gen. They're riding on pure luck in the handheld department, if Sony hadn't fucked up so bad with the Vita they'd be screwed there too.
>>257517824
Development of the Wii was done by then, so the R&D team started working on the 8th gen console. Why else would Nintendo have huge R&D teams on staff?
>>257517770
How the fuck is riding wagglan into every single fucking game back to basics?
And yeah, nintendo now is trying to appeal to the hardcore market too, but the marketing is horrible. I still remember those "Wii would like to play" commercials. They were fucking genius.

The Pro controller had it's downfawls but it was better than that piece of shit.
>>257518114
GC stuff is only for smashfags. No way in hell it'll replace Wii U pro controller.
>>257517961
>>257518114
also the possibility of nintendo cutting costs and letting 3rd parties make something thats really just an optional accessory
>>257502612
>Should've had analogue triggers
Can somebody tell me what analog triggers are useful for?
I've only ever found them useful in Super Mario Sunshine and Smash Bros (and even not really then).
People always say racing games, but I've never played a racing game where I didn't constantly floor it.
>>257518049
>How the fuck is riding wagglan into every single fucking game back to basics?
By not having them mandetory for ANY game.
Your'e a fucking retard.

>Make the pad which is basically a normal controller with a screen

You're a fucking retard if you think they're even aiming in the vicinity of causuals with the Wii.
Sure, they're throwing bones but that's it.
>>257517880
that may be the case
but the only concrete evidence i have to support this would be that none of the retailers nintendo list have the product:nintendo.com/wiiu/accessories/>>257517269
have none online. how is this possible for a new product?
Anything said in the exchange is hearsay as well but we had a lengthy conversation where they understood i meant WII U pro etc.
with their manager right there as well
would be odd disinfo from them

Ya'll niggas need to make way for the new hotness that is the Pro Controller
>>257518317
Some people seem to think that without triggers console won't get any good racing games.
Analogue triggers really isn't as important as they think they are.
>>257518381
Not really.
Gamestop employees are retarded as fuck. They could just be cutting back on making them.
>>257517269
Swedish site but a fuckton of stores have them in stock here.
Green symbol means they have it in stock. More stores if you scroll down.
>>257518381
Calm the fuck down, retailers didn't stock them for some reason, that's it. There is plenty of places to buy them other than those US specific retailers.
Your paranoia is idiotic and laughable.
And stop believing any idiot who works in a store. That doesn't mean jack shit. He just talked out of his ass and you willingly eat it up.
>>257518373
What the fuck are you even talking about? Every single worthwhile game on the wii forced you to use the Wiimote and nunchuck. Just because you didn't have to in brawl and mario kart doesn't mean that it was "optional".
>>257518534
>using triggers for racing
>Not the right stick
What the fuck?
>>257519118
Hello.
I like it, personally. But i will freely admit that it has its flaws, and is severely under-utilized.
>>257519195
Ask them, I have no idea. Yesterday there was one big salty thread about how bad Wii U Pro is because of no analogue triggers. How that controller is supposedly is worthless for "hundreds of awesome racing games".
>>257519306
That's 3. Keep going.
>>257519118
>What the fuck are you even talking about
The WiiU, jackass.
The WiiU is their tryuing to appeal to the retarded as fuck GC crowd again.
The Wii was their back to the roots console because it was a family centered toy JUST like the SNES and NES were marketed and made in mind with.
>Every single worthwhile game on the wii forced you to use the Wiimote and nunchuck.
Which just goes to show even more ignorance on your part.
there was nothing wrong with the Wiimote+nunchuk either, had the best shooting controls on any console ever made.
>>257499778
The controller itself is surprisingly decent. I think I will eventually get Pro Controller for couch multiplayer, but Gamepad is great and I think it will be my choice for singleplayers on Wii U.
>>257519409
Man that bugs the shit out of me, everyone knows Stick to accelerate/reverse Shoulders to change/rotate cam in racers
Commercial failure. Which is sad because I think it's pretty nifty. The touch screen could get a lot more use in games and off TV play is great.
>>257519558
Hi.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_that_use_the_Classic_Controller
When I took it out of the box, I was put off at first:
It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be, but at the same time somewhat lighter than I thought. It really felt like a toy
Then (after 2 hours of setup and updating), I got to play my first games with it and things started to change.
- The off-screen play is fantastic. No lag, plays great
- The screen should not be any smaller, otherwise the above feature just wouldn't make sense and be no fun
- The rest of the size of the Pad is just ergonomics so you can hold it comfortably.
So while I'm still blown away by the size of that thing from time to tome, the off-screen play has absolutely convinced me and therefore, I wouldn't want the pad to be any smaller.
It's very comfortable to hold and the small weight helps that as well.
>>257518974
you dont find it odd none of those retailers carry it? yet i can buy a wii mote from them all?
because they dont sell? wat lmfao
and i'll excuse your nasty attitude as i'm sure u havent jerked it to lil anime girls today or something
>>257519632
Dunno man, I play mostly arcade racing stuff, so I don't worry about control schemes at all. Just telling what I've seen recently around here.
http://youtu.be/ThxfP7eF6Fg
>>257517707
Wii U Pro controllers have been selling out like crazy where I live. There isn't one in a Gamestop within 100 miles of where I live. I've been checking in every retail store I drove by for the past month or so and couldn't find one. Eventually I gave up and bought one on Amazon. I could easily see if you didn't look into it thinking that it was discontinued because the local retailers are treating it like it has since they never get enough of them.
>>257519558
Opoona, Muramasa, Smash, Chocobo Dungeon, Pandora's Tower (Though the Wiimote controls in that were GODLY) Mario Kart, The Last Story, Fire Emblem, and a whole bunch of other games.
>>257520084
Some retailers from country I'm not from - don't have a product in stock which is available all over the net to order whenever you are from with probably better prices as well. What a horrifying thing to happen, indeed. They loose money and consumers, *gasp*
It sold even in fucking siberia where I'm from.
Failed gimmick and failed console.
Even nintendo doesn't know what the hell to do with the touch pad.
I don't like pikmin and even I could see the possible applications of the wiiu screen for a pikmin game.
It can have all the fucking "potential" in the world, but when its creators can't even find any meaningful use for it you can sure as shit bet that third party devs are going to be avoiding the consoles gimmick like the plague.

Oh look another one of you faggots.
Literally every single game is improved by it's presence. I dare you to name one that is a better game without it.

N64 brought analog controls into the mainstream that was pretty crazy. just look at that monstrosity of a controler, its literal just 2 controllers mashed together. They also brought in rumble with the n64.

The latest update to Pikmin 3 allowed you to play the entire game with the pad.
>>257520953
What's wrong with Pikmin's use of the WiiU pad?

>The latest update to Pikmin 3 allowed you to play the entire game with the pad.
Couldn't you already do that?
I'm pretty sure I did that and I bought it on launch.
>>257520953
I never understood the bears.

I don't think having to look up and down over and over improves anything. I'd rather just kick back and focus on one screen.
Maybe if my eyes were spaced vertically on my face one above the other and I could view both screens at the same time it might not be as useless.

Pretty sure they added it in a post-launch patch but I'm not sure, I only got it with the MK8 deal.
>>257522520
Pretty sure post launch added being able to play offscreen WITH touch controls, and a general revamp

>BAAAAH I DON'T LIKE!!!
That's not a game anon.
>Pikmin 3, using the Wiimote+numnchuk and the gamepad to controll all three characters at once is the most efficient way to get the most out of the day
It's also really fun
>Wonderful 101 allows you to keep the screens split and offers better drawing options, though using the stick is still usefull
>3Dworld offers boost mode
>NSMBU offers boost mode.
>WWHD allows you to seamlessly manage your inventory and cut out pausing except when it's actually needed
>MH3U offer much needed Hud Decluttering.
>Literally any game that offers Off TV play and or Miimaps on it are instantly better
Now list the games where other forms of controls are better.`

It counts for every game since all of them use the tablet.
OP, It'll probably end up being GAmecube 2.0.
Solid lineup, but made in an era where few would actually appreciate it.
It's a completely unjustified accessory.
It's like Nintendo have suddenly lost the "how to make a decent console" manual.
> Shit controller
> Weak hardware
> No games
>>257523274
You keep dodging my question.
List a game where using the gamepad is actually worse and why it is worse.
>I don't like looking in between screens!"
Isn't a complaint it's a personal preference. It's also easily managable.
>>257523493
Oh, skeleton found the thread, now it'll be even more shitposting here.
I'm outta here, fuck that guy.
>>257523662
Just report him. Mods are starting to ban his trips.

>It always bothers me when you hear someone up with a plan to "fix the Wii U" and the first step is dropping it entirely.
The people that say that are those who have never used one.
>>257523541
I guess it just is my preference then. Any time I have to take myself out of the game to look down at a second screen then back up over and over makes my gaming experience worse because it breaks my focus.
>>257523883
Dropping the pad would be the worst idea you could possibly have.
It would maybe allow for a ~50$ price cut and kill off the one hardware advantage the WiiU has.
The entire existing consumer basewould feel scammed. All games currently in development would have to re-focus because they now have to target another possible setup. And all future games will probably play it safe and leave the Pad out of the equation entirely, since there's no way to tell if the user will have one.
At the same time third-party devs will continue to whine about the lack of performance, making it hard to port their grimdark cinematic experiences.
All that being said, I cannot imagine there being a significant number of people that are holding back on buying a WiiU JUST because of the pad. Shitposters on /v/ don't count.
My guess is that if your sole reason to not buy a WiiU is the pad, you're not all that interested in it in the first place. Not that there was anything wrong with that, I just think that dropping the pad would not push WiiU sales that much. Not nearly as much to be worth all of its downsides
