Wii U controller

[Kalahari Inkantation]

didn't we just have a discussion where you said otherwise

no lol, all i said about the controller is that its size is unusual

aside from the sheer size of the controller itself nothing about strikes me as terribly wrong

the real issue is that you're limited to one controller per console, which completely undermines the whole concept imo

[spoiler]that and the fact that as far as we know it'll be underpowered compared to the competing consoles which puts them in exactly the same position the wii was in[/spoiler]

it was everyone else who thought there were other issues

such as what, what name?

well the name is godawful but more importantly

the real issue is that you're limited to one controller per console, which completely undermines the whole concept imo

Actually, I believe the console supports two controllers.

and so far everyone who's held the controller has claimed that despite its size and button placement it's not uncomfortable, so i'm not particularly worried about whether or not it's ergonomic

still not enough

and another issue is that the limited power of the console itself is what limits the number of controllers that can be attached, so it becomes an issue of controllers vs. grffx unless they make it so powerful that that's not an issue, but they've already claimed that it's just '1.5x as powerful' as current consoles and they probably aren't going to change that

yes and i largely fixed that in this design

well the name is godawful but more importantly

everyone agrees on that but it's not something i can visibly change

Actually, I believe the console supports two controllers.

from what i remember they were working making that possible but as of the last time any hardware's been shown it could only support one

and so far everyone who's held the controller has claimed that despite its size and button placement it's not uncomfortable, so i'm not particularly worried about whether or not it's ergonomic

the button placement seemed fine enough to me
also i don't think any pre-release people have ever said any controller is very uncomfortable
in fact i hear the ps3 boomarang was pretty nice to hold

i think that was just a rough estimate because they didn't even really have any of the internal hardware finalized
we'll see but i'm not hoping for too much anyways
i'm just hoping we'll get some third party support for once but again this is nintendo we're talking about

[Thyme]

still not enough
