FISSURE	Nintendo Direct press Conference, some Wii U new... « on: June 04, 2012, 12:15:21 am »
Reputation: +9/-1 Offline Gender: Posts: 4654	Wii U Pro Controller. http://kotaku.com/5915318/nintendo-unveils-hardcore-wii-u-controller The point of the Wii U is that it has a fancy, touch-screen controller. That may not be suitable for all titles, though. Especially ones being ported from other consoles. For that, much like the Wii, the Wii U will have a Pro Controller, one that you could say resembles the pads of one of Nintendo's competitors. More stupid Mii Crap http://kotaku.com/5915323/enter-the-miiverse-its-a-world-nintendos-invented Miiverse the new network service where Miis from around the world can meet. The redesigned Wii Plaza shows Mii clustered around various Wii U titles. This shows what games players are enjoying and what's popular. Nintendo also showed Miis leaving in-game messages. Mii WaraWara, taken from the Japanese's "warawara" (the sound of things happening, in Japanese). Some new online things: http://kotaku.com/5915322/nintendos-wii-u-has-a-proper-online-community Here's a pleasant surprise: the Wii U looks like it's going to have a proper online community built into the console. In a video shown during a pre-E3 conference, a user on the console jumps onto the controller and consults a GameFAQs-like service, while at the same his friend is monitoring Tweet-like messages on his phone. That latter part is especially nice, given Nintendo's previous reluctance to branching its services out onto other platforms. Also displayed was a video calling service similar to Skype. Wii Wara Wara is a dumb name. Logged

Maybe not as comfy as the 360's though. Ugh, the 360 controller is not comfortable to me as much as the PS3 controller is. Such awkward hand position, meanwhile the PS3 controller is nice and small and easy to grip. The triggers of the Wii U controller make it seems exactly like a derivative of the 360 controller. I'm also wondering why they made a separate power and home button. Both the 360 and PS3 kinda combined those into one button, why can't Nintendo do the same? Logged

The handles are too small and it just feels like I don't have a good grip on the thing... The 360's just fits perfectly... and the d-pad sucks but I hate most d-pads anyways. Logged

I think they did the sae kinda for dreamcast or something. But i gotta say that black controller looks sexy. Looking forward to halo 4, splinter cell, pikmin 3, and the BAC armored edition. Logged

All controllers look the same in the end. At least Nintendo did something truly original with their controllers on the Wii and DS.

Anyways, I watched the Nintendo PC live and it was disappointing as expected

. I was kind of hoping for some epic game to be revealed, but it mostly the same !@#$% I stopped caring about. Those hardcore third party games are nice. But you have to realize that by the time the Wii U launches, those games will be a year old.

But you have to realize that by the time the Wii U launches, those games will be a year old. Darksiders and AC won't be anywhere near a year old. Because it's Nintendo, you go in with huge hype for their IPs, overshadowing any 3rd party stuff, but standing back and taking a look, that's one solid launch line up. Of course Nintendo themselves are working on their big franchises and it was a shame not to see much at all, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. We'll see them when they're ready and still be blown away just as much. Hopefully that'll also mean we won't have to wait absolutely ages to get our hands on them either though, which sounds about right especially with how Nintendo has been lately, which goes with how the conference just showed launch window stuff too.
