The button placement is different, there is a power button on the Pro controller(instead of holding down the Home button on the 360 controller), plus the controller is rechargeable(from what is seen in the photo).


yeah sure and no color for buttons and things like that. it can't look exactly llike it but if you will hold the controller in the hand i am sure it will be pretty similiar which is great in my opinion.



It really does look like a Xbox360 controller... Except for the fact that ABXY are in their PROPER places, and not inverted.



I'm the result of someone exclusively playing Final Fantasy XI from the PS2 release till 2010, and only stopping for small bouts of catch up.

Only ugly part of the presentation for me:

If Nintendo ends up showing a Zombie game on Tuesday I will kill a puppy!



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

There is a lot that can be gleaned from the Nintendo Direct. Unfortunately they tried to be too different with the presentation. The network integration is a light year a head of the Wii's from what we seen. It may almost be up to par with Live. (In some cases surpasses). And the great thing is it is FREE.

So we got :
Social Integration
Network
An actual WiiU controller for the other players that are not Wiimotes so COD's etc can be ported easily without worrying about the controllers for the other players.
Actual confirmation on Videochat
Social in game help.

The Move also has different button placement (argubly superior to the Wiimote's) and is also rechargeable. But it's a shameless ripoff right?

(I don't even own the Move and don't think I will and I don't own a 360, either. I'm merely stating the facts.)

Seeing how the 360 controller is one of the best controllers out there (in my opinion of course), I see this as a good thing.

As long as we never get a Classic Controller ever again. That thing was terrible.
