Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Why the Wii U gamepad design should be more like Vita

Soundwave on 28 October 2012

No thanks.

I want real sized analog sticks + d-pad + buttons and 4 shoulder buttons.

Not the dinky little analogs the Vita has and the tiny buttons and complete lack of secondary shoulder buttons.

I 1000% disagree with OP.

I thought it felt very comfortable. I played the rayman demo using the dual analog and the touch screen. Both were fluid and felt great. The weight and comfort of the controller was fantastic.

The screens responsiveness was quick and exactly as I'd expect. I like.

It didn't feel strange to you that the analog sticks were towards the top of the controller. I haven't used a wii u pad yet, but i'm used to analog sticks being towards the bottom of the controller like the PS3's is.

nope. Only played the one game so far but ya know, PS3 is the first nonNintendo console I've owned... so it too awhile just to remember where square was.

Oh ok I just have to try out the controller if it's on display in a shop. I hope i like it, as I really want to play ZombiU and Lego City. It's good to see Nintendo always trying out new things with their systems like this though

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

why are we comparing a portable device to a console's controller? I feel some threads get sillier by the day.

To dredge this discussion back up, i got my hands on it today and the only issue i had was that, where my fingers were resting, i kept accidentally clicking the lower shoulder buttons.

Hopefully i net that seasonal gig at GameStop (why i was there today). Should buy me half a year of leeway against student loans...

The controller is fine. I've held it in every way you can think of. It is lite. But not annoying lite. The only thing that will suck with it, is that it will die faster than regular controllers.
