Forums - Nintendo - Two Tribes: Old Wii U GamePad Design "Was Like a Toy"

The original Wii U GamePad had slider pads

Developer is pleased with revised model

As with any consumer product, the Wii U has gone through revisions since it leapt off the drawing boards at Nintendo's Kyoto HQ.

One of the features that has undergone the most change is the GamePad itself; as you will no doubt recall, the first publicly-announced model had slider pads like the one seen on the 3DS handheld, as well as other cosmetic differences.

Toki Tori 2 developer Two Tribes is incredibly pleased that Nintendo decided to revise the controller, and has revealed on Twitter that the first version was less than satisfactory.

It's still a toy

And i'm not saying this in regards to the controller, but in regard to the definition of the word "Toy"



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
