E3 2012 discussion with Wii U information.

In before Microsoft sues Nintendo over their Wii U Pro controller design.



*Call me Grandpa.

OCTOG123 for president.

Oh no I’m stuck on this game. I could look up GameFAQ’s or video chat with random old men. All that social stuff never appeals to me.

As everyone says the Pro Controller looks like a 360 gamepad which is no bad thing to me.

100% mock up or some possible hints at the content of their new Mario game?

Aside from maybe the color, that looks nothing like a 360 controller, to me...

Picture is unrelated to the pro controller.

Standard buttons/joysticks? Thank god.

Nintendo, you're doing it right!. The new Wii U pro controller is there to catch the Xbox 360 players, obviously, so they don't have to get used to a new way to play ( Stealing the other companies' consumers copying some of their strong points...). The console seems to be focused to get the players in a comfort zone no matter your play style it'll have it. The Social network for games is God sent to Monster hunter players. And the best part: This is only the Wii U pad and some general features, we still don't know about games and other social activities like for example Netflix/Steam...

That's what everyone is talking about. Kind of funny that that's being discussed more than the Wii U Gamepad.

Wait, Direct is already over? It was supposed to be at 6:00 PST!

6:00-6:30 EST...

You can watch it at the site though. It was all pre-recorded anyway, so...

ohhh ok, that makes sense.

Well... just caught up on the Nintendo direct. I am really beginning to like the social aspects of this. Also loving the Pro controller.

So here is your crazy Pre-E3 rumour of the day.

Kingdom Hearts HD Remix/Remembrance

As I mentioned in another forum
inb4 they release a "Japan Only" collection that includes all of the "Final Mix" versions.

Regarding Dead Space 3 Co-Op:

What happens to the isolation, paranoia and bone-juddering tension that made DS1 and 2 so great if you've got random others dropping in and out of your bubble of terror? wtp!!! Such a shame that games companies and their masters seem determined to alienate the fanbases of genre or sub-genre games in their pursuit of the Ultimate Super-Mish-Mash COD-sibling Super-Seller!

Then just play the game without the internet on. Or just don't open your game to the public. I do the exact same thing in Resident Evil 5, or Dead Island.
It's sad that gamers can't stand the idea of gaming without their beloved social systems. Whatever happened to gaming..

That's what everyone is talking about. Kind of funny that that's being discussed more than the Wii U Gamepad.

And there we have the 3rd part.
First was Xbox, left up, right down.
Then Playstation, both down.
And Nintendo makes it both Up.
Besides, the +-controlls look nothing like the Xbox', it's just a form-matter. And even that looks different.

The Gamepad looks a lot cooler than I thought it was.

The buttons are all complete copies of the ones on the classic controllers, with the exception of the triggers.



Its form factor isn't that different, but how different do people want a controller to be? It either looks roughly like that, or feels like a crappy cheap 3rd party controller.

The new second stick position is absolutely wrong though, I can't imagine pressing the buttons with one of my fingers while having my thumb simultaneously on the camera stick.

That's exactly what I was thinking. If you want to play something like, say, Monster Hunter, it'd be near impossible. They should've gone with full-scale 360 imitation haha.

G4 doesn't seem to want to air it until 3:30 on my TV so if you want to catch it live I'd suggest Spike. You can also watch it here:
