Is the 'new' Wii u controller actually the 'old' Wii U controller?

Clickable buttons was originally part of the WiiU controller design. 2 iterations later and now hopefully this one sticks.

This has to be true, if not Nintendo cannot compete in the fps realm.

It is definitely more similar, but there are still differences: the 2 mystery buttons, analogs now being placed at more of an angle, and the controller appears slightly wider.

Actually, that isn't an old design at all. The user has admitted to being wrong about his original post.

Shiggy: "It's the new version indeed. While I initially thought it was an older design when I posted it in February, it's a newer one. The OAMI database has newer designs usually "above" older designs, thought it was the other way around."    ; http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

So this isn't an old design, it's actually a new one.

People got mad at me when I told them the WiiU wasn't a new system it was a Controller. The same Wii but with a upgrade you can still use your Wii remotes, the only thing new is the WiiU controller. I don't see them sell alot of system, but WiiU controller's Yes.

browngamer414374d ago

As well people should have got mad...because what you just said is provably untrue-why would you try to give people such uniformed and false information?

TheFirstClassic4374d ago

Not sure where you get your facts from. The system will be far more powerful, the controller could offer innovative ways to play games if used right, and for all we know they could come out with an online service which will equal live and psn.

But we don't know. So don't go acting like you do.

They need to release the WiiU in black otherwise it'll stick out like a sore thumb next to my AV equipment.

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
