Soon, but instead of releasing games for old systems, they will be creating games for an imaginary system with specs somewhere between the snes and n64 and presenting them as if they are forgotten classics.

This is a real thing that is happening

http://www.siliconera.com/2017/08/07/ufo-50-collection-50-indie-games/

They are making 50 brand new games for an imaginary system around NES/SNES specs

It looks like they're gonna retail it as a single piece of software though

Realtalk; if you're so much as considering a WiiU for even just 1-2 games, get it NOW. There is a fixed ratio of gamepads to consoles in the wild, and now is the only time it'll be a favourable one.

Same. It doesn't bother me a bit

Also do buy a WiiU in 2017 because it still has a lot of great games that didn't get ported to the switch and might not.

I personally found that that my Pro Controller d-pad went from borderline unusable (at least in Puyo Puyo Tetris) to completely fine once I stopped treating it like an actual d-pad and started treating it like 4 separate buttons. I think whatever design flaw this d-pad has involves the central pivot, and when you roll your thumb on that pivot it starts triggering incorrect directions very easily. This might explain why different people are having different experiences.

It's a bummer because actively avoiding rolling my thumb on the center completely defeats the purpose of having the d-pad instead of the 4 joycon buttons, and it kind of tires out my thumb after playing for more than like 20 minutes.

Mine tends to gently caress up if I press the D-pad with any pressure beyond "gently," which is some really difficult muscle memory to conquer in a game like Tetris where you're pushing it super fast. For just about every other game, though, no problems as long as I think gentle.

I gotta say, I never realized how much a lack of a proper D-pad can make things awkward. Playing 2D platformers with the direction buttons feels so off to me, that I pretty much resorted to using the analog stick.
The Pro Controller makes 2D platformers much better. I don't know what's up with the D-pad issues--I don't have them.

I'd suggest picking up a Pro Controller at retail and try it out, if you don't have issues with it then great. If you do, return it. If the problem was a manufacturing flaw then the original batches should've cycled through by now. If it's a design flaw that affects every unit with varying degree of user sensitivity, then you'll know whether or not it works for you.

It must be a very interesting balance Nintendo has to make when going back to the Wii U library to decide what to remaster and what to push ahead on. We got sequels to Splatoon and Xenoblade, but remasters of Mario Kart 8 and Pokken. The scant few standout third party games are probably easy bets, like Platinum has been teasing hard that they'll be doing the Bayonetta 1&2 pack and possibly Wonderful 101, but you gotta wonder at what point they just have to soldier on forward.

I hope that Wonderful 101 pulls a Bayo 2 and is a sequel and the first game.

The Switch one does too, its main failing imo is that you can't just go in and browse categories or anything. I don't think there's any sorting either? I'm sure it'll improve with updates (I bloody hope so, at least).

Actually it works quite well in Sonic Colours, because Sonic Team literally figured out the best gimmick to pad out those big long 3D levels was 2D platforming.

I dunno, Generations and Colors were pretty fun, seems like the way to go is a hybrid of both playstyles and keep the levels under 5 minutes.
