The problem is, the GC cotroller lacks buttons, a new one based on it could do the trick, but I'm not getting my hopes up, Ninty will probably try to be "unique" and put the buttons below the analog stick once again.

i'm opting for more on a pro controller. gamecube controllers are good but if they are still going to redesign it, better to have a pro controller+ version.

No. Just bring me a smaller gamepad.

As much as I like the GC controller, I think it would be too basic for something like a new console from Nintendo.

You know the U Pro controller, Wii Nunchuck, & Classic controllers, all use the same GC/Wavebird joystick internals. I've fixed old GC controllers by transplating useless nunchucks into them. YOu can even put the all the joystick nunchuck grips on the GC controllers. To make it easier to use the C stick.

They probably wont... even though we can use it for the Wii U, we can only use it for 1 game..

I prefer the Pro Controller as a traditional controller, and I would like them to do something more unpredictable. A traditional controller would be so... boring. I like to have many options of how I want to play. On the WiiU you can play with the gamepad, pro controller, Wiimote, wii classic controller.... And that's exactly what I want. Something different.

I'm not a fan of the GC controller, and there have been a lot of advances since then. A classic style controller, sure, but it should be as good or better than anything currently available - and the Wavebird is not.

Give me a comfortable controller like the DS 4 and im in

I don't understand why people love the gamecube controller. Of all of the controllers I've ever used, it's the second clunkiest, right behind the n64 controller.
