Nintendo names Wii U controller the 'GamePad'

Dumb. "Gamepad" is what many post-joystick only directional controllers have been called for years.

They were not officially called gamepad...that's just the generic term. Maybe NASA will follow the example and call their next rocket "spaceship".

Seems like there just trying to fill in time with fluff. I'm not sure there is really anything to look forward to with Nintendo. Don't think the gamepad is going to be enough

Hey nin....give me some of dat shit your snorting!

I'm not a Nintendo hater but I feel they are way off track on these joysticks. If you are able to put them in your lap a la Neo Geo sticks then I will be completely convinced. Only time will tell.

lame acting

Too much hype about the controller, just as the Wii was hyped. I fear for the console specs...

Personally, I prefer controls that make you forget they are in your hand. The ds3 does this, the 360 controller does this, even a kb/mouse combo does this. It improves immersion more than anything. I don't see this controller doing the job, with the possible exception of Fallout.

wrong post

Universal Remote Huh? Does this mean that it can perform similarly to a Harmony Remote?

the pro controller looks alot like the 360 controller just missing the d pad

hey, I'm 34 now and I play video games since 85,if we talk about quantity, Nintendo don't have many games with success compare to Sony, but all console companies and game developers like [b]Microsoft, Sony, Sega[/b] have followed Nintendo in innovations particularly in Controller
in the video games world in 90-91's Nintendo came first with the 4-buttons (a,b,x,y) and the L R button, Sega has followed the process and claimed the consumers to buy another similar controller it made.
In 96 Nintendo first came with the joystick and Sony had to put a new similar controller.
And finally you will tell me why Sony and Microsoft had to put motion controller at last, is it because Motion controller don't give good accuracy? oh damn
