If people are still complaining does it mean that the controller still didnt fix all the complaints? lol jk =P

The grip is an stupid option, the shoulder buttons are better, but I will not change my controllers for this because of the grip.

Why are people complaining? Because it's Nintendo. Nintendo haters are always crying about Nintendo does.

I sometimes think I'm the only person who turns rumble off in games...

The reason for this controller is to play games on the Virtual Console. If you ever tried playing a SNES game on a GC controller you would understand why they made this one. The button layout on the GC controller works great for GC games, but since the button layout for A,B,X,Y is different on a SNES controller the programmers layed the buttons out differently in software.

Anyways, this controller isn't to milk cash, it is just another option for people who want a classic controller but don't like how it feels. I have one classic controller, and I won't be buying this one as it does the exact same thing in a slightly different form.

As for your last statement/question, again this is mainly for the virtual console, and the few games that have the classic controller as an extra option (like mario kart)

I always have rumble and sound turned off on my wiimotes, I don't appreciate it enough to take 4 hours of battery life away from me.

You're not alone.

I turn it off a lot of times because it's annoying.

I'm not complaining, I'm just not buying one. (there's a difference).

Also, I'm fairly certain no one complained about the classic controller and DIDN'T get a wavebird or regular Gamecube controller, so I'm not sure what Nintendo is doing here.

I also turn off rumble on all games I play, the only game I ever enjoyed rumble in was Star Fox on the N64

As for the classic controller update, I like that they made it bigger but my biggest complaint still hasnt been answered, they really need to switch the D-pad and Analog stick on the left side of the controller. for some reason mt thumb just doesnt like being in that position and I get some major cramps in my hand from it

I'm still pissed off that there's not beverage holder, or cooling fans, or a feature to give me a gentle massage. Rabble rabble rabble!



Regarding the crappy button-mapping when playing SNES VC games with a Gamecube controller ... how come Nintendo doesn't just allow us to map our own buttons? That would have been an elegant solution and then I wouldn't have had to buy a classic controller and give Nintendo more of my mone--

Oh I just got it.
