Does the d-pad and face button look bigger to anyone else on the new design?
Plus, I think the face buttons are more distanced between each other.
I would say Alberto is suggesting that Ono is taking all the blame for the bomb that was SFvT and is not in the good graces of capcom
Do you guys think using the wiimote for aiming in FPS games but you still have the wuc in your left hand and lap in place of the nunchuck would be comfortable? Because, if a game like BOps2 makes heavy use of the subscreen for drones and whatnot, I don't imagine they will too keen on making a control scheme that throws all those options away. Hmmm... but a coop mode where Mom controls all the drone strikes could be interesting.
Probably. Well that's basically what the Zapper shown does kind of.I want to know if it's going to be possible to still use the Wii U controller screen while using a Wii remote. Hopefully you can still have the tablet on just to use as a secondary display while controlling the game with the Wii remote.
If you're on Twitter you should follow @TNG_S8, "Plots from the unaired 8th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation". Otherwise Fashion It So is hilarious.I just watched three solid Star Trek: TNG episodes today. The one was when a Borg is captured, and then he becomes friendly, and they name it Hue; another was with the girl with the imaginary friend, then an alien went into her brain and made it real; and then the other one was where an empath-mutant is on-board and falls in love with Jean Luke Motherfucking Picard.
I have only been watching this show for a couple years now, through it's syndicated episodes on various networks, but I have to say it's amazing as everyone said it was. It's never really about space or any of that shit, it's the characters, as always, and situations (usually moral gray areas) that make the show so memorable.
...oh, shit...um...I hope that the Wii U is good.
E.X. Troopers for Wii U?rumor of the day...
megaman legends unaxed and is being made for wii u.you wish
What if it's a Galaxy Dogs crossover?There are no good ideas for the Metroid x Star Fox crossover. Just varying intensities of pain and misery.
I know how you feel. Almost as many Wii U threads as Diablo III threads!I can't keep track of all these Nintendo threads.
What did you expect, whenever a new console/handheld is close to launch threads about news and rumors increase exponentially see Vita & 3DSI can't keep track of all these Nintendo threads.

I doubt he'll get fired, but there is no way this was cleared through Nintendo.
Yes, but it's probably not going to be the case for some of the labeling.
Welp. It has given us insight to the new controller, but I don't like it has been possible with somebody being fired.Not only is he guaranteed to lose that job but he's also going to find it difficult if not impossible to work in the industry again. Once an employee breaks an NDA he can wave goodbye to his career unless he's very fortunate.

About: I was first introduced to computer games at a very early age when my parents bought a Commodore 64 way back in 1984. I still consider it to be the most influential piece of technology in the games industry to date and we wouldn’t be where we are now if it wasn’t for that coffee coloured box of dreams!
I naturally progressed onto consoles with the release of the SNES and enjoyed the usual classics such as Super Mario World, Mario Kart and F-Zero. From there I became part of the Play Station generation, owning the PS1 then the PS2 on which I became a massive fan of the Silent Hill and GTA series. I jumped the Sony ship once the original Xbox was released and in turn, moved onto the 360 which is where I find myself today.

Why would you hire someone who has no respect for the contracts they have to sign?not everyone likes Nintendo that much to blacklist the guy from working ever again, that is if he is even fired over this. I'm sure they will get over this in time.

Captain Falcon = Captain AmericaI want Nintendo to become the Avengers you guys.
Captain Falcon = Captain America
Samus = Iron Woman
Pikachu = God of Thunder

I'm disappointed no one else on the site has posted about it.and yes that is the leaker

Whoever threw the idea out there - about that mystery square on the Wii U controller being a vitality sensor - probably(and unknowingly?) hit the nail on the head.
I'm not one that indulges in baseless speculation, but it turns out that the DRC vitality sensor idea may not be as farfetched as initially presumed. I scanned a few paged of this thread and apparently no one posted the connection, so I guess I'll do it.
(don't kill me if I'm late with this... this thread moves too fast sometimes)
Seeing the actual sensor(black square pad) within the vitality unit is so tiny, a lot of the bulk(entire top portion) is most likely just for aesthetics and ease of use, with the circuitry housed in the bottom half of the unit. Therefore, what you may be seeing on the DRC, is likely a refined design of the vitality unit, revealing the only area that needs to be exposed - that tiny square "contact pad".
Now, mind you, this is a speculation thread, and this is in no way conclusive evidence, but it damn sure seems more of a possibliity than before. Also, consider how silent Nintendo have been about this peripheral they were initially so excited about. Would they just let the concept (that was in it's completion) die, or implement it in their next system? I guess we'll find out in a couple weeks!
Note: The other "mystery square" next to the power button appears to be a button(rather than a "pad"), and will most likely differ in purpose from the square "pad". I also do not believe it's a sync button as some have speculated, since the red sync button was spotted at the back of the E3 2011 controller. Although Nintendo could have changed the location of the sync button in the updated version, I doubt it's at the front of the controller. If the Wii console and wiimote is any indication of Nintendo's current train of thought, they'll perfer to keep the sync button "hidden" at the back or under a flap, to prevent excessive/unnecessary use. Of course, I could be wrong, but, that's just my take.
PS: While I prefer to lurk, I do follow this thread, and you guys have provided me with tons of entertainment while I wait for E3. Whether by thoughtful speculation, "insider tidbits", digging for clues, or simply hilarious gifs... well done Nintendo GAFers!
I... How could that be the vitality sensor?
you wouldn't be able to use the stick or dpad...

Do you have a link for that info?...
but I also think this "leak" is NOT the new resigned controller its probably the first dev kits they received especially with those start/select buttons shaped like the original GBA (which what Ubi devs confirmed as being the first dev controller they actually received)
It could work for a specially designed game a la Wii Fit, but you couldn't use it for say, Eternal Darkness, unless there were certain points where the game asks you to take your thumb off the control stick and place it on the vitality square. That would be a terribly immersion breaking fix.I... How could that be the vitality sensor?

With the old version I made a comparison to the 3DS based on screen sizes. D-pad were about 25% larger both vertically and horizontally, which would make it about the same size as the one from the Classic Controller--if not exactly the same one.ffdgh said:Now then....why does nintendo refuse to enlarge the dpad all of a sudden lately? its so small now.
Well, they will be releasing it on X360 and PS3.Gahiggidy said:Because, if a game like BOps2 makes heavy use of the subscreen for drones and whatnot, I don't imagine they will too keen on making a control scheme that throws all those options away.
The new version of the controller is a huge downgrade visually at least. Looks like a prototype.
