Any one used the Pro U controller before? Is it good?

randomass1713619d ago

I have used one! It's a very nice controller. There's just a learning curve when adjusting to having the right stuck on the upper part of the controller. It'll take you twenty minutes to get used to it at the most. :)

christheredhead3619d ago

The pro controller is pretty good. I use it for Mario Kart and Donkey Kong. It feels comfy and the battery seems to last forever.

Alex_Boro3619d ago

Most comfortable controller since the xbox 360. Dpad is amazing but the triggers need to be pressure sensitive.

Xof3619d ago

It's okay. D-Pad placement is very odd. It's main drawing point is that it has a battery life of like 80 hours, versus the gamepad's 2.

Few good deals for this week. Wind Waker HD definitely deserves $35

edgarohickman3619d ago

Never played any LEGO games before, are these games great?
Just checking a lot of these games are $10 off, which one is the best?

randomass1713619d ago

Played a few of them with coop on my friend's 360. They're very simplistic and repetitive, but they're comedic fun. Better for children than adults, I think.

SnakePlissken3619d ago

Best lego game to date would be lego marvel, hands down! Batman 2 is a good one! Fun games with really nice graphics.

Tom873619d ago

Mario Kart 8 + free Pikmin 3 for $49 is a sweet deal.

GamingSinceThe80s3619d ago

Yeah I can't believe you can already buy MK8 for $49.I rely need to learn to wait at least a few week's before buy any new games.Times have changed on how long they hold their value big time.I always feel like a sucker when I see deals like this so soon after a game comes out now day's.

lebr0n3619d ago

Here is what you can get for $500:

- PS4 + Watch Dogs + inFamous
- Xbox One + Kinect + Titanfall + Watch Dogs
- Wii U + Racing Wheel + Mario Kart 8 + Pikmin 3 (Free) + Wind Waker ($35) + Super Mario 3D World + ZombiU + Wonderful 101 + New Super Mario Bros. U ;)

randomass1713619d ago

Pfft, Wii U is still too much. :P Just kidding, I am going to go and snag Wind Waker out of this deal since my free game with MK8 was Pikmin 3 (really good btw).

Apollo13619d ago

Are_The_MaDNess3619d ago

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."

I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.

gold_drake31d ago

there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.

nintendo needs their bangers early on

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno96d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

FinalFantasyFanatic127d ago

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon127d ago (Edited 127d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast127d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul127d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.
