Registered 7 years agoNeither the XBOX or XBOX 360 launched on a Sunday in the US.
Edit: Not the PS3 either.

Registered 7 years agoI will add that hardware launches don't seem to follow much reason in the US. Sunday is odd because most places close early, but I'd assume all consoles will be sold before that happens.
Software will almost always launch on Tuesdays, though. -

Anyway, on to the pro controller question. I'm hoping all games are at least somewhat universal for 2nd players etc. I saw the difference between the pro and a wiimote was literally a fiver so bought extra pros.
As for using the pro as a first controller, I believe it is possible but when playing the likes of zombi U, you still have to use the screen of the game pad. It's probably worth the effort of gaining muscle memory and using the pad wherever possible, at least at first. -

The game pad is more comfortable than it looks! It even feels quite natural pressing buttons under the right stick. To be fair, I even thought that the digital triggers felt good when I played on it

One thing of note. It's the first 'pad' I've used where turning it to use the Giroscope doesn't feel weird. I think that's down to the fact it's not tiny and actually feels like you have something between your hands. -

I think it's less to do with having a traditional controller method to use (as you say, the GamePad should work perfectly for that, as it's essentially the same as the Pro), and I think it's probably something more to do with wanting longer gaming sessions. Supposedly a few reports are quoting a 2-4 hour battery life on the GamePad using the official Nintendo battery. And it's also been reported that the Pro controller has something ridiculous like 80. Not that anyone would need that much. Either way I'm sure Nyko will have a good solution to it a few months after release.

There's also local co-op to take into account as well. The 2nd player is going to want something decent to use.Steam: Baleoce

For co-op I understand completely, it just seems that some people have dismissed the gamepad immediately because it doesn't look like a 360 controller.Armoured_Bear wrote:

Registered 2 years agoYeah I think in terms of usability it'll make absolutely no difference whatsoever if you use GamePad or the Pro. It's just an extra couple of inches to either hand, with the possibility of some added functionality (which you can probably ignore if you want, or take advantage of).Steam: Baleoce

Registered 2 years agoWe could always do a weight comparison test between the latest wireless 360 controller with the battery pack attached, and the Wii U GamePad. I doubt the difference is going to be much. The two grips on the 360 pad are quite well weighted. The reason I say the 360 controller and not the Pro one is because obviously people are fine doing long sessions with the 360, and that is heavier than the Pro.

Registered 7 years agoWhy would you buy a console where half its price is devoted to the Gamepad and then arbitrarily decide not to use it? You may as well get a 360 then wipe your are on a handful of tenners.---------------------------------------------------------

That was quite informative, if you looked at the likely materials involved in the house structure; the bit where he went off into the dining room off of his living room, that looked like a support beam (probably iron or steel) which seemed to have a significant impact. It should mean, however, that I can use the Gamepad in bed, as the head of my bed is pretty much directly over where my TV stand is in my living room.

I think the majority of people will be surprised by the comfortability of the GamePad when they get their own hands on it. But the concern of long gaming sessions does need to be addressed by a 3rd party. I can understand people opting to start on the Pro controller for certain games based on how long their session is going to be.
