wii-u controller vs. dreamcast controller

[cloud1161]

this is the first thing that came to mind.  im really not trying to fall into the loads of other cynical jackasses out there saying the damn wii-u controller is doomed already before theres even a release date.  i hope the wii-u works wonders with the controller, but something similar (note: i said similar not exactly the same) to the controller has already been tried without the best results.  yes, i know nintendo is an entirely different company than sega and times are a lot different than 10 years ago.  im still just having a little trouble at figuring out how all of this is really going to work.  discuss deeply my fellow vgchartz members please.
