I'm just worried that they're going to use the gamepad or Pro controller for all shooting games on WiiU. I absolute *hate* dual-analog shooters. The Wii pointer controls are so much more suited for that task, and so much more comfortable.
I just hope devs will give us the option of choosing a controller, I'd vastly prefer the Wiimote + Nunchuk combo for shooters over any gamepad/pro controller setup any day.



Really? I have to disagree. I remember playing MoH Heroes 2 online, and I would get so angry when my character would start randomly spinning. The only thing I could see being good about it is not having to move your character's view to shoot someone, but even then I don't see how helpful that would be. And melees generally suck if they make you thrust the controller forward.

When done right, pointer controls are vastly superior in speed and accuracy, compared to dual analog setups. That's not bias or opinion but fact. However, it's up to the devs to create a quality product with controls that have been crafted with care and attention. It's easy to put out a rushed, lazy effort with controls that are buggy, unresponsive, or otherwise flawed.

The games TWRoO mentioned all have silky smooth pointer controls that work flawlessly, in my experience. Having played those, and going back to a dual-analog control scheme is... awkward. And annoying.

Also, I agree about the melee attacks, so far they have sort of sucked in Wii shooters, a lot of the time. But I wasn't talking about melee moves, but pointer controls (bytheway, it seems those melee moves have made it into ZombiU, using the gamepad, lol).

ok now that's exactly the reason i wouldn't like it^^ same with ego-shooter on pc, many love to play egp-shooter with mouse and keyboard because it is so fast and precise but damn i don't want to be a super hero on the filed giving everyone a headshot without a problem. i wish to have it a little bit more realistic and two sticks make it harder because you aren't superman with that. it makes absolutely no sense to turn 180° and give the guy behind you a headshot and all in 1/4 second or so. i never understood why people think this is so great, as long as all would play with controller it would be fair and for me much better.

and yes, i'm in minority with that i know^^
