Thread: Wii U was ALMOST perfect

We all know that the Wii U controller is an amazing piece of hardware but it isn't 100% perfect. When I heard that the Wii U got clickable sticks, I was extremely happy and proud for Nintendo, but then i realized they didn't include one thing third party developers use sometimes, analog triggers. I know MANY of you are going to say "ANALOG TRIGGERS ARE STUPID AND A WASTE OF TIME DERP" but that still won't change the fact that developers do use it and it really adds more to the gameplay. Simulation racing games are pretty much not playable now and this just really lowers the chances of a Nintendo Gamecube virtual console service (Games like Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Melee made use of this functionality) Another missed opportunity that I find minor compared to analog triggers is multi-touch functionality. I don't find this much of a big deal because no other system has ever had a multi-touch controller but it could have been nice having it. Well theres my rant on the Wii U. All I have to say is that Nintendo, although you did label the controller as the product version, you have about 5 to five months before launch, please add analog triggers. The touchscreen i find alright because the DS is successful with single touch but I kinda think analog triggers should be implemented into the controller. Thank you for your time.

They have developed a wii u pro controller that is similar to that of a xbox controller -- have you seen it?

Hey Javon... link?

Yes, the only problem with that is that those triggers aren't analog either...

Hi, Rob -- how's it going?@phazer - Well, there is still a little time left; we'll just have to see how thing progress; nevertheless, I'm quite impressed with what I've been seeing -- there is still hope

Exact what I was thinking Javon they got a good 5 months or so before launch hopefully they change the digital triggers to analog

I believe this is what Javon was referring to: Nintendo goes wireless with its Wii U Pro controller - Games & Gear - CNET - CNET Asia

Thanks, nightangel -- I thought he was referring to my avatar.

yeah this sucks. give us analog triggers! Just on or off really limits what you can do with triggers

That's what i'm saying many GameCube games (especially first party games) used it

Wait a second I thought they were doing some sort of touch pad/big screen controller for the Wii U, are they not gonna do that anymore?

agree

they are, they just will also have a 'traditional' controller available as well for those who prefer that (i think)

The Wii U Pro controller is basically a peripheral in similar vein to the Wii classic controller; developers can choose to use it or not. However, it is not a total replacement-you need the Wii U Gamepad.

wow u know so much - owwws in amazmint -

The Wii U pro controller remedies all the problems of not having twin analogs to play games. They couldn't support shooters without them.

gotta have analog sticks don't care what games you play their the best for controlling all of them
