Ehh but not quite the same tbh. It's virtually the same controller just with the gyro whatever poo poo and I guess the better vibration. The wii-u pro controller is great and would be more than feasible to use with the switch. It's not like it received a drastic remodel as most do with each new console iteration.

Plus you could use GC controllers with the Wii (and wii-u with adapter?) and wii controllers with the wii-u? I think ps3 controllers work on the ps4 as well?

It's a great bonus when old controllers work on a new system but it really shouldn't be expected and counted against it when it's not there. Ps2/1 could use each other's controllers, PS4 technically is able to use PS3 controllers if the devs build it into their games, plus each PS3 pad needs a PS4 pad hooked up alongside it. The Wii U of course supports all controllers, and the Wii toon GameCube pads up until a redesign

If I had to guess I would say a lot of the hype for the new zelda is just people who have only owned nintendo consoles before who are excited to be playing an open world game for the first time in their lives.

Honestly new Zelda is maybe a 7-8/10. Goons losing their minds over how amazing it is. A lot of the realism Skyrim whatever aspects like weather/temp affecting you and weapon durability are annoying as gently caress. I guess I prefer a more linear Zelda too. That's disregarding the poo poo graphics and fps

Still gonna give it an honest go and maybe it'll pick up idk

Now that they are selling a pro controller that works, will they also be releasing a pro console that can play the games?

New consoles generally come with at least one controller that actually works.

The mainline Mario game being at least 9 months out is the real oddity. That needed to be the launch title. Maybe both Zelda and Mario, but it's not like that was necessary for a successful launch.

Then again, it's pretty obvious they rushed this thing out the door. Zelda is pretty complete-feeling, but the Switch isn't (at least as far as the OS is concerned.) Kinda par for the course for recent Nintendo hardware, though.

What is the preferred alternative to the dual shock layout though? The Xbox controller layout isn't all THAT significantly different (and I prefer the dual shock personally because my left thumb is a little hosed up and it sits at a better angle for me)

you move and strafe with the left stick, moving some flavor of forward mainly, and its a lot more natural to push close to straight up with the xbox controller. it also has better triggers

I bought one of those 360 pads with the transforming D-pad because I liked it for fighting games and the plastic was so cheap that it literally crumbled after like 3 months of use. That combined with the joystick placement making my thumb joint lock up and I just sold the whole loving console in favor of PS3 and the dual shock and never looked back

Persona 4 Golden was the worst game I have ever bought (Vita desperation) and made me realize you always need to check for an anime avatar before you trust a goon's opinion on games.

Zelda looks like it's two generations behind Horizon, and not just graphically. I can't imagine trying to play Zelda after Horizon.

If the video game you are playing is dropping to 20 fps it usually means you need to upgrade real bad, but sometimes it just means you own top of the line nintendo hardware.

Do you remember when you just bought a console at launch and everything was just loving there and loving worked? None of this patch poo poo later, yes it's slow and loads and is a mess but we just wanted to get it out to you fast!

The Dreamcast was peak launch. Everything worked. Stunning line up of games. A constant stream of games to keep you happy. The PS2 launch was a goddamn catastrophe. As was the PS3, and Wii U, and now the Switch.

What happened to quality? To proper planning?

I mean old consoles didn't have gimmicks, online garbage, OS that took up half the operating power... And when they did have gimmicks, those also did more harm than good.
