Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller Revealed! (GC/X360 Style)

[Phosphora]

It's a gigantic and uncomfortable tablet sized controller, with a large touch screen that can play games without the use of a TV. If it's not a tablet, it's a...
oh wait, it's a tablet.

A touchscreen does not a tablet make.  The DS is not two tablets hinged together.  I'll grant you that it is similar to a tablet in that it has a huge touchscreen, however, it is not a tablet because:

• It has a huge form factor compared to tablets (so that it will be comfortable to hold as a controller)
  
• It is primarily used by using the analog sticks/buttons or by moving it around the air, not by touching the screen (hence why the screen is single-touch)
  
• It is not portable
  

If Nintendo wanted to tap the tablet market then they would just make the next DS a tablet

My bad, I kinda figured that a large touch screen device such as this that can run games without the need of an external display was considered a tablet. I see now that it is kinda' a DS home console. I'll hold further judgements until I play one, but right now I enjoy the 3DS the most out of the current gen. The auto-stereoscopic tech is simply cool and convenient.

Talking about the 3ds I was really disappointed that they said a larger version was not coming out and just a rumor! Wtf I've been waiting for the redesign to get one!

This is definitely going to attract A LOT of Xbox 360 as the controller is almost identical to the 360 one.

Is it though. A controller doesn't entice people alone, it's about the games. 
So far it's all about a bunch of 'enhanced' 360/PS3 games.  For those folks that have those consoles, what's the point of having another?
It's like when Sony and MS did Move/Kinect to try and win the Wii crowd, late to the party and then some.  I feel it's the same with this.

I have a 360 and an iPad plus a library of amazing games, why would I buy a WiiU and those games all over again?
Even for those that don't have a 360 yet - I think they'll get one oevr this as it's probably half the price and the games will be avaloable cheap as 'last gen' outings before long...

Saving my cash for next gen myself, happy to play old Nintendo systems until proven otherwise.  It's a disappointment for me, I was really hoping they'd pull something outta the bag as usual.  It's like GCN all over again.

That's just Nikkei saying fake things.

I wouldn't be so dismissive...  I don't know anything.

A larger one, why would you want a larger version of 3DS?

I was thinking a 3DS Slim with a 2nd analogue stick to avoid that add-on.

Because the battery life sucks so I wouldn't use it as a portable really. I have my psp with emulators for that nice big screen with a decent battery and 3d? Sounds great a slim but with analog sticks would be nice also

Looks like Nikkei was right and so was I in believing them yay for 3ds XL
