doesn't it let you change inputs and turn TV power on and off? i used it a lot it was nice not needing the TV remote to switch from PS4->Wii U. wasn't there originally a TV guide function they dropped support for though?

I really appreciated that button for the two months I couldn't find my TV remote. But I never understood what TVii was

The reason I posted this is I just noticed it on the pad after using the controller for years.

I lost the remote for my TV 8 years ago, and still can't beat the MGS 3 cave segment because the screen is too dark to see anything. Does the Wii U TV Button allow me to change my TVs brightness, so I can stop playing the Vita version instead?

I could definitely see myself being lazy about it for 5 years and then thinking "ah hell I'll probably get another tv next decade so what's another 5 years".

It doesn't take 2 years but it's true. Snakes eyes will adjust to the darkness naturally and the brightness increases the longer you spend in the tunnels.

Well, in many games it the action button, like you would press it on New Game if you wanted to start a new game, etc. Sometimes it's the jump button as well

A) Flip around the controller? Then I definitely wouldn't notice it. Asshat.
B) Nice first post in this forum. Rude and dismissive, real great impression.
C) It's raining right now so that's just rain. Not tears.

Had my PlayStation [original psx model, none of this psone stuff for me] for nearly 20 years now, and I can honestly say it's the best system that I've ever owned. Final Fantasy Tactics, Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill 2, these have been some of the best moments I've ever had in gaming. However, even today I'm still learning new things about my favorite console - I found a cable in the box the playstation came in that would have allowed me to plug it into a tv
