Wii U pro controller Revealed:

   Is that a joke? its the same design as 360 which WONT be good for fighting games smh...

[-Whiplash-]

  Is that a joke? its the same design as 360 which WONT be good for fighting games smh...

...

YOu used the gamecube controller for fighting games?

(OTHER THEN SSB)

[DEMONKAI]

...

YOu used the gamecube controller for fighting games?

(OTHER THEN SSB)

why would i? the only time i used the game cube controller for anything really was for mugen and then that stopped pretty quick and i moved in to a PS2 joy pad. why do you ask? or was that sarcasm?^^

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

for me, i play of fighting games, its my first love in video gaming. so i been using the xbox controllers so long i am used to it. ps2/3 controller design is always been on spot for fighting games , plus its good for lil handed people... i am just joking.  but its a great controller, not as cool for shooters for me tho. 360 pad just rocks solid in that.  that wii controller is indeed a 360 pad in design just cosmetics in different way a lil bit but pretty much same. so its cool to me for fighting games since it has a 360 design but nintendo dont be having any fighters ( and do not say any BRAWL!) on they system i would even wanna play in all these years. maybe one of the upcoming ones perhaps, but not right now for me , havent seen any i think.

[DEMONKAI]

yeah its a good controllers for shooters and adventure games but for fighting games its like i really gotta put in a extra 40% to play accurate. but im used to it. I still rather use the PS3 pad. But what im saying is they could have chose a better design. I cant really see the dynamics on that directional pad if its the same as 360 but i assume it is

[Silva-silva]

Don't worry the impending lawsuit will change its design soon enough.

[DEMONKAI]

Don't worry the impending lawsuit will change its design soon enough.

You read my initial thought in my mind

[-Whiplash-]

why would i? the only time i used the game cube controller for anything really was for mugen and then that stopped pretty quick and i moved in to a PS2 joy pad. why do you ask? or was that sarcasm?^^

''because befoe this came round that was the nintendo controller...

My point is, Nintendo doesn't have fighting games for it... Why would you start playing them on it now?

Though Maybe the Wii U will change that.

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

Don't worry the impending lawsuit will change its design soon enough.

true! cause that is just plain crazy to use their design.  i would have sworn if i didnt know mit was a nintendo joystick that it was a 360 new one. they do need to change it or make that be one of those madcatz lowwer offbrand joints you can buy for fighting games., not a sole debut controller.

''because befoe this came round that was the nintendo controller...

My point is, Nintendo doesn't have fighting games for it... Why would you start playing them on it now?

Though Maybe the Wii U will change that.

well for starters Tatsunoko vs Capcom (before it came to the US) was the only reason i got a Wii and the controller (the second type) they had for it (to me) was way better than the game cube's. It was basically a snes pad design which in my day i whipped a lotta @ss in fighting games with that kind of controller on the snes....so seeing the Wii U doesnt put in my mind they wont have another (well...temporary) exclusive and cool fighting game for it.

again tatsunoko vs capcom (the import) is the only game i have for the wii ....I dont sleep on Nintendo ...They are not as hardcore as they once was but anyway thats the same thing a lot of folks did (sleep) and then TvsC came out of no where and people were pretty shocked^^ Im keeping my open on this one as far what games it may get. Hell, we may get a TvsC 2 on that system....maybe maybe not

Dead Island: Riptide’ Is All New

http://gamerant.com/dead-island-riptide-new-game-price-mole-154221/

After the official announcement, some players were unsure whether or not Dead Island: Riptide would be a full new game, or simply a remake of the original Dead Island with new enhancements. Deep Silver’s Aubrey Norris confirmed via Twitter (@Chupacaubrey) that Riptide will be a brand new game.

Part of the confusion stemmed from Riptide’s pricing model. As with most new console games, the original Dead Island launched for $59.99, whereas Riptide will be priced at the slightly more affordable $49.99. Why the low price? According to Norris, it has everything to do with the waning of the current console generation.
