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.

mike1up4403d ago

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.

browngamer414403d 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?

TheFirstClassic4403d 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.

kingPoS4403d ago

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

LOL...or u could just use a black magic marker...

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H920d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX20d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H920d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro20d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos19d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger8820d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk7720d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos20d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris20d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

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."

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.

gold_drake37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

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.

Inverno37d ago

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.
