It seems all the awesome stuff comes from Nintendo, then other people steal it and make it slightly different... CONSPIRACY THEORIE!
Nintendo came up with the d-pad, the analog stick, wireless control, vibration, the four button layout and the shoulder buttons. Anyone who says the WiiU Pro controller is a rip off of the Xbox 360 controller must be forgetting who started it all.
Yeah, but all the awesome stuff? I beg to differ. As far as games go, I mean. Nintendo have the few games they continue to re-make, which in itself isn't necessarily bad, but Sony and Microsoft have more games, was my point.
The Wii pad was ok, just as functional as it needed to be. It' s not like a pad needs to be clunky to be user-friendly. Its real plague was that most developers ignored it, even Nintendo. There' s a shitload of Wii games that could have easily implemented it yet didn' t (Metroid Prime 1&2 from the Trilogy come to mind). I fear this U pad won' t fare any better : the original tablet can do the exact same things and more, everyone has it, so why bother implementing a more limited and paying device, even if it is more user-friendly ?
