Kotaku - A few months back, I gasped in horror at the sight of a third-party Wii U pad that, from the hideous photoshop promotional image, looked to be a sin against everything Nintendo held dear about controllers.
Well, for the past week I've been using the thing. It's called the Controller Pro U. Combining the functionality of a Wii Remote with that of a Wii Classic Controller in the one device, there's not much hideous about it. In the flesh, it looks a lot better than it did in that mock-up.
The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.
I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.
The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.
This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.
Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
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."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
It says it works with Wii games. Can this work with games like Twilight Princes/Skyward Sword o Super Mario Galaxy?
I want one of these.
I wonder why the Wii U Pro Controller cannot work with VC games at all. I am hoping that is something they can address with a future patch. I have a classic controller so I can use that, but I would much rather use my Wii U Pro Controller instead. That's what I love so much about this 3rd party one, although the author did say that he had trouble getting it to work as a Wii U Pro Controller..
I need this controller ASAP! How can you play wii games is the question? i they're all motion games.
