Hi everyone!  My name is John, 31, and from Philadelphia.  I just bought a Wii U and I have a quick question about the Wii U Pro controller.  I was going to just pick one up when I bought the system but I thought I'd get some advice from people that actually own one before plunking down 50 bucks.

Basically, I just want to know what it can and can't do.  Can you use it to navigate through the Wii U menu and do things like change system settings, move the icons around, buy games from the Shop, etc? Also, do all Wii U games support the Pro controller?  Right now, I only have Resident Evil: Revelations, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, and the Mario/Luigi game that came with the system.

I like the GamePad's screen but the battery life isn't the greatest (I've turned down the brightness) and it's just too big IMO.  I'm always afraid I'm going to drop it and the room I play in has hardwood floors so that would not be good. I'm just looking for a more traditional controller since that's what I'm used to. I realize that the Pro is not a replacement for the GamePad. I've spent some time this morning looking for answers online, but all the articles I read were from months ago and I thought this would be the best place to get up-to-date information.  Thanks in advance.
