Wii U GamePad = Greatest Controller Ever Made

I still contend that the Wii U Gamepad was the best controller ever released. It was incredibly comfortable (for me) and I liked the placement of the analog sticks.

Also, I really wish Nintendo would release a dedicated home console again. I don't care if it's portable or not.

I do recognize I'm in the minority with these opinions.

I seem to remember the push for everything to go digital the past decade or more and physical media being blasted as no longer viable, wanted, or needed by a large segment of gamers. Well, here we are, realizing exactly how monotone that narrative has been. Games as a service is going to ruin gaming when viewed with even a little foresight. When developers start releasing complete games again, we will start to see the light at the end of this “rental” tunnel we are in with digital distribution.

Shinobi (like the ones on Genesis/MegaDrive)
Ninja Gaiden
Baseball Stars
Kid Icarus
Earthbound (Mother)
Final Fight
Another World/Out of this World (Heart of the Alien)
Altered Beast
Golden Axe
Actraiser
Demon's Crest
Shadowrun
Bonk's Adventure
Contra (not that new thing)
Dune 2/2000 (RTS)

I'm just going to come right out and say it:

I like Metroid: Other M

The biggest Joy-con problem is that there aren't NES and SNES color variants.

Does it mess with anyone else that these controllers are essentially "right handed" but Link held the sword in his left hand in some games?

What this tells me is...it's too bad all of those people whined and cried about the Wii U and it's name, and blah blah blah. It was a really good system with some incredible games. People just bailed on it for some crazy reason and are only now realizing what some of us have known for years. The Wii U Gamepad was extremely comfortable to use, and I had an absolute blast playing it from when I bought it on release day until even today when I was playing some Virtual Console games.

Wii U warriors...unite!

I've never been into grinding for experience or for turn based RPGs. I understand the strategy component but I dislike giving a command and not actually having control over the outcome. In Mario games, pushing the jump button always results in what I intended. Any errors are my own fault and not that of what the computer code decides.

Unpopular opinion:

The Wii U gamepad was the most comfortable controller I've ever used. Switch Pro Controller is a distant 2nd.

It’s an effective strategy to get people to double dip.

I would LOVE a new Maniac Mansion game.

I want someone to turn a Wii U game pad into a full fledged GBA. For hands my size, that is still the most comfortable controller I’ve ever used.

I stripped my island of absolutely everything, took away all streams and ponds, tore down all of the hills and removed all trees and flowers. Once I did that and restarted with just a few flowers and trees, the game became significantly less stressful.

I did all of that back in June.

While this is incredibly impressive, it just reminds me how visually unappealing Minecraft is to me.

A better campaign would be #deletefortnite

I wish they would have gone with a fully sprite based look...like Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts on SNES. That said, I’m getting this no matter what.

@BulkSlash said:
a) I need this.
b) We need Actraiser in the Switch SNES app.
c) Isn’t it about time we got a new Actraiser game too?

I must say, I agree with every point you made!

I tried over and over and never could get into Chrono Trigger. Earthbound was similar but I came to enjoy and appreciate it over time.

As long as physical copies of games exist, I won't have anything to do with online gaming at all. If we ever get to the point that everything is locked behind a subscription, I'll continue to be satisfied knowing I [already] have 35 years worth of a library of MY OWN games that I can play anytime I want.

Where in NA can these be pre-ordered?

Are these all on a single cartridge?

I haven't seen or heard of anyone I know playing Fortnite in many a fortnight.

Scumbags are already trying to sell these on eBay for up to $950.00. I put in an offer for $50.00 on one of them lol

In all fairness, the only people who should be allowed to vote are those who were around for all of the voting options.

I bought the starter kit, Bowser’s Castle, and several other expansions at Walmart over a week ago.

@Damo Fingers crossed that you’re right, my friend.

I want to know what measures they will be taking to prevent bots from buying everything in under 30 seconds like is happening across the toys and collectibles market every time a new item goes up for sale online.

This trailer reminds me of how much more I enjoyed the FPS genre was then than I do now.

I would love to get this as well as a release of Dune for the Sega Genesis. I loved RTS games in that era and up until around 1999, but I lost interested as games became more complex than the original Command and Conquer.

I stripped my island down to absolutely nothing but buildings and characters I can't remove. I intended to fix it up, but never got around to it and haven't even checked it in over a month. I wonder what it looks like now?

This makes me want a Switch Home Pro console that doesn’t have joy-cons or a tablet. I’d love for Nintendo to make a home-only console again that allows me to plug in my Switch cartridges and play with a pro controller. They already took away the “switching” option with the Switch Lite so why not make a traditional console again? I realize I’m in a vast majority, but I never take mine out of the dock anyway.

I hope the playable character is the old lady who sends you on a bunch of fetch quests.

Also, they need to scrap the 2.5D graphics and just give us beautiful, 2D sprites.

@ReikoMortis I also want to know what the new console is.

Actually, If SNK just does an HDMI, upscaled AES system, I’ll be happy to give them money.

I might as well buy these since the Analogue Pocket is still in the 3D render tease stage. The company's complete refusal to answer any questions about it is a pretty bad showing as far as I'm concerned.

I have been playing the physical copy of this game on Switch since launch. The controls initially had some very noticeable lag, but once you are able to speed your character up, the lag disappears. It did crash on me a few times, but I have not had a single hiccup in 40-50 hours of play since then. I guess I'm not noticing all of the major flaws everyone keeps shouting about, but I have been having an absolute blast with this game for almost a year. Too bad for those who refused to give it a shot!

I would love for Limited Run Games to do a physical copy of The Mummy Demastered.

I'll just wait to buy it on PS4 in August when the price has dropped to $20.

Give us:

1.) Gameboy Classic Console
2.) Gameboy Advance Classic Console
3.) Nintendo 64 Classic Mini

Just give me MK 1, 2, and 3 (Arcade ports) and the MK11 Komplete edition so everything is on a single cart/disc.

This is my first Animal Crossing game so I was wondering, is there any reason to keep fish/bugs or should I sell them? I'm still waiting for the museum and the shop to be built so I'm not sure what to do with all of the things that I'm catching.

Mine is SR388

I've never played an Animal Crossing game before but this is the one that is going to change that. It looks like it's exactly what I want at this point in my life (in gaming) and will be a perfect way to relax each evening.

I still say these updates are click bait of the worst kind. There has been absolutely no proof shown that they were available last month. None.

I've been trying, with every iteration, to get into Smash games since the N64...but I just don't get it. I've probably put 10 hours into Smash Ultimate but I simply don't enjoy anything about the controls or gameplay. I just can't figure out what I'm missing.

It's crazy to think that I have two copies of the Mike Tyson's Punchout!! 5-screw version sitting on a shelf: one I got for my birthday and one my friend gave me when he didn't want all of his video game stuff anymore when we got to high school because it "wasn't cool" to play video games anymore at that age.

This article update, so far, seems to be completely untrue.

I don’t see the BotW comparison. Looks nothing like it, to me.

I've never played a Fire Emblem game, have wanted to for several years, but have NO idea where to start. It seems almost too daunting to give it a go.

The Wii U gamepad is the most comfortable controller I've ever used.

Something about the size, the weight, and the placement of the buttons all work just right for my hands.
