Hi Everyone!

I figured I'd give you guys a little treat. We're putting up our Pro Controller review on Eggplante tomorrow morning (around 2AM EST), but you've all been great conversationalists, so here it is. You won't be able to find it online, but here's the link directly to it!

Enjoy and please let me know what you think in our comments on the site!

The Pro Controller, in my opinion, is worth the $50. It's very comfortable, I use it to play Black Ops 2 zombies. I'll be picking up a second controller soon.

I picked up a white and a black one, love them as much as I love my 360 controller. Definitely worth it.

Thanks for all the support!

I've got articles coming discussing the real pros and cons of the GamePad as a TV remote as well as plenty of game reviews starting tomorrow!

Should I keep posting them up? I don't want anyone to think I'm just here to spam!

I don't typically buy 3rd-party accessories, but I'm curious how the InterWorks Pro Controller will compare to the official Nintendo version. It releases on 12/18 and has the added benefit of being usable for Wii games.

Thanks for the insight. It looks like a solid peice of ware despite being so light, but I, personally, hope I NEVER have to use the pro controller.... Outside of smash and monster hunter. And monoliths new RPG... and...

Okay, I lied, some games ill definately want a classic controller, I Just hope all games still support wiimote and nunchuck controls like zombi u and blops II do. Especially since everybody else seems fixated on snail aim speed dual analog with the pro controller.

It was hilarious in Golden eye and conduit 2 (lol, and lasted for all of about 2 months before dual analogers gave up) But with such a huge focus on the pro controller I hope theyll stick around, or even better never figure out the reason Im creaming them so bad is because Im IR aiming.

Its like shooting fish in a barrel.

nice little review :) .

On a side note, would it be possible to use the Pro controller with pc games, like you're able to do with a 360 controller?

I'm hearing that Black Ops is best played with the old Wii Classic controller rather than the Pro Controller. Is there any truth to that for those that have tried both?

We haven't tested anything yet, but our guess is that the USB cable only draws power, not data. Also, drivers would have to be written to utilize the buttons. You can't connect it wirelessly since it uses a Wii U-specific frequency for data transfer, but theoretically, it would be possible if the USB cable carries data.
