Why Any Game Would Work with the Wii U

Ok That's kinda cool. I could imagine rpg's would have the potion button down there, I am starting to have that fuzzy feeling.

I'm skeptical of how comfy the controller is and how much it will cost.

I'm guessing between 100 and 150 for starters? Looks damn expensive.

one wiillion dollars.

I see this being a fail. Thanks to Nick for actually being a published game writer and saying this, I know how a lot of them will just be those guys who will defend this and keep posting updates on it.

Haha. sure. This controller is a waste

I'm going to say it again...if that controller plays Angry Birds, the system will be a success.

You're a giant WiiPad ;)

Seriously, tho, I think this is pretty neat. They listened to us ***** about how much we hated not having a controller, so they gave us one. It has a screen on it. Why are we complaining? The Dreamcast controller had a screen on it, and all we do is pooh-whine about how that system should have never gone away...

The dreamcast didnt have a screen in teh controller, the memory cards had a screen, and a tiny crappy one at that which isnt comparable to this AT ALL.

Fo sho. Not even close. I'm all for this controller, btw. It could be amazing.

And I love your pic. Call the rocks!

I'm still more concerned about the circle pads than the screen. The screen has obvious potential, but circle pads are inferior to analog sticks period. I've tried out the 3DS circle pad and if it's anything like that, forget about it. All that renewed third party support won't matter if it plays that much better with a Sony or Microsoft controller.

It has a niche and may be able address the issues with having to streamline RTSs for the console but I can't see playing a MK, Soul Calibur, or Tekken for any prolonged period of time with a controller like this. Also may be nice with RPGs but for games where you are constantly needing to do precise finger movements e.g. fighting games I don't think it will work as well

It supports Wii controllers, so I'm sure fighting games will have classic controller support.

This could be good or bad depending on how insistent developers are on using it. The problem with the Wii, was that devs kept trying to use the motion censor in games where it wasn't needed, and was actually a hurdle to actually being able to control the game. I think the only game I recall doing it right was Mario Galaxy... and that's because it didn't try to go overboard with it... but even that could have just been easily replaced with a button press. So, with this new controller, if Devs keep trying to FIND a reason to use it, and just make it a pain in the ass, as opposed to having a GOOD idea on how to use it... well that'll be a deciding factor probably.

Wife only calls em WiiPads when shes out and needs me to go to the store

If your not going to use the gimmick you might as well put tehg ame on one of teh real systems.
