Other than in appearance it's actually closer to a ps controller. I mean in terms of button layout. With the symmetrical analogs and all. But now that I think of it I think it's the opposite of the ps one which has the sticks down low and the buttons above. In the end it really might be it's own controller. One thing for sure is it shows nintendo is really listening to it's hardcore gamers. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a direct result of third party developer feedback.

Wii U Pro controller = Super Smash Bros.

When the Wii U Pro Controller was uneiled I screamed with glee, like a little school girl. Love it! It's obvious that I'm going to buy it on launch day, assuming it's available, I just have one question. Will it be available in black immediately or am I going to have to buy it twice (once in white and then again in black)?

...Because buying my Wii Remotes all over again, in black, was a crime. My wallet cried so hard.

I like the controller too, but I don't think many games will incorporate it. Because, why would you use it when you have a freaking controller with a touch screen, camera and all kinds of neat stuffs? But it would work well for multiplayer. This will off course be much less expensive.

That's not the main purpose of the Wii U Classic Controller Pro but one possibility. The main purpose is an alternative to the main Wii U Pad or tablet controller especially for those long gaming sessions where the screen is not needed. That's the impression I got from what Iwata said on Nintendo Direct.

Wow, people are really hell bent on the idea that the upad is uncomfortable. The people who used it last E3 said it was great. Being the owner of an Ipad, I highly doubt there will be any problems with long gaming sessions. Hell, it'll probably be more comfortable than an Ipad. Again though, no real way to know for sure until its been used, but I'm guessing we'll hear alot of the same positive reactions this E3.

Uhm off course it's more comfortable than an iPad. A freaking iPad isn't designed for gaming. Wii U has buttons and a grip.

It's got nothing to do with the fact the iPad has no buttons or grip. The iPad becomes uncomfortable to hold after a while simply because it's heavy and because of the dimensions. The Wii U game pad will be easier to hold for long periods because it's smaller in dimension and lighter.
