![]() Basically the WiiU Pro controller moved just the analog and face buttons. ![]() Basically Microsoft took the analog and switched it with the DualShock's D-pad. ![]() Basically Sony added two analog sticks. ![]() Basically Sony copied the SNES controller. ![]() So really the way I see it, everyone has ripped off Nintendo, really. See that D-pad? ABXY Buttons? Bumpers? STAR AND SELECT? Who came up w/ that design? That design is just an evolution which originated w/ Nintendo. If they started the trend, I can't see this being a "rip-off." That's just my opinion though. I think I've made my point. |

![]() ![]() Analogue, but in reality, companies are going to take ideas of their competitor. On the matter of whether Nintendo took the idea for the Wii U 360 controller from the Xbox 360's, it has been done before between each of these first party devs in this industry. |

I meant the placement of the analogue sticks. I was rushing, Microsoft's conference is up! |

your right enough man, but microsoft ripped off the dreamcast more than anything. All they did was change the shape a tiny bit and added another thumbstick...oh and a couple more buttons. As midi said, they all take idea from each other and run with them. Im glad its a lot like the 360 pad, its the best one out there and at least nintendo will probably put a good dpad on it haha. |

I wonder how that Pro Controller is going to feel when playing fast paced FPS games... The fact that the analog stick is above the a,b,y,x buttons seems like it could be a problem.... just my opinion. I do think that the pro controller looks really bad ass and appears to be quite comfortable. |

When you play a fps, usually you're using the shoulder button and triggers more so than the actual face buttons, so it should be fine. |

Yeah, if anything the buttons are usually used for stuff like jumping, or interacting with environments. In an FPS you aren't really doing that too often, so the controller should feel comfortable in an FPS. |

The pro controller looks pretty slick, but I can't imagine how uncomfortable using the d-pad and the face buttons would be. Talk about cramped! The layout looks fantastic for FPS/3rd person games, though. Nintendo's build quality is always top notch, too. Can't wait to get my hands on it! |

I don't mind it being a rip-off but I mind it looking very uncomfortable. |

So what we have learned is everything is a rip off of everything and that we should just be mad all the time right? |
