Wow that new black controller looks like an Xbox360 controller and the Gamecube controller had a baby.

On old smart-phones I only remember them being able to handle normal pressure applications. Glass Displays, the standard now, can handle double-tap. (Because Glass Screens are almost always Multi-Touch... or maybe I'm imagining...)

I like the new Pro controller. I think people have been asking for this. That conference opens many doors for the upcoming week! I can't wait to see more from the software side of things!

I still dont like the new controller, they should have left it as a tablet gamepad and not listened to the third parties suggestions. You can't play Othello now with the control sticks on the way! The extra gamepad was an obvious addition and would have given the "hardcore" the controller they wanted.

That's it for Sunday, got a long Monday waiting for me.

A: Not really, the Wii is still a entertainment failure IMO.

B: Yes and No, they certainly made it a more attractice platform for ALL gamers than I thought they would, but it still has a kiddy edge tucket away, but that's alright.

PREPARE FOR THE GAMES ON TUESDAY!!!!!!!

not bad for an introductionto the wii u

The pro controller means no need for multiple WiiU pads for regular multiplayer games!!! Cool!

I must admit that this Miiverse thing seems awesome. But the fact they introduce a Classic Controller proves that the GamePad is flawed.

Which leaves the important questions : which games? which price?

One thing I certainly didn't like -

The old man. What the fuck, Nintendo?
