An updated listing by GameStop reveals that the Wii U Pro Controller will have a battery life that lasts up to 80 hours on one charge. Not only that but the controller doesn't work with any Wii software.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
So you can choose between a traditional controller with an incredible battery life or a gamepad that works with Wii games (at least I believe it does). Not sure how I feel about this.
@mrbojingles Thanks for clarifying that.
Lolwut? Where is the connection between the Wii U gamepad and the Wii software? О_О
The title makes it sound like that "Bad Luck Brian" meme.
@Neonridr
The Pro controller has clickable analog sticks, triggers instead of mushy shoulder buttons for ZL/ZR, a power button of it's own, and doesn't need the Wii remote to operate. Just a few of the differences.
thats great battery life! i dont plan on using wii u for wii games any damn way so i couldnt care less about it not working on em.. Setting the gamepad on a dock, on a table, while using the pro is what i intend to do for most games whenever i decide im ready for one.. Cant wait til E3 nx yr.. There should be many great announcements made & hopefully ill get my wii u then..
Whats this "multiplayer only" thing about this? & i already know the rumble isnt too strong but i hope thats all BS
