How do we save the Switch, Sup Forumsros?
I'm so glad I spent $50 CDN on a Wii U Pro Controller. Maybe I can shove it up my ass while I play 1-2-Switch.
If you bought a Wii U and anything related to it, you should definitely shove all of it up your ass.
You can't even use PS3 controllers with the PS4, how the fuck is this even remotely a surprise or worth shitposting about?
>muh $12 online that weeds out poorscum trailertrash tosspot-tards
>muh GameLube controller can't be played with, now what controller can I use that's shaped like two dick 'n bawls so I can shove one side up my ass while I play?
>muh "autistic screeches" laughter ALLCAPS
So shiIl. Much cringe.
You're crying about not being able to use a controller that's literally 10 years old
Yeah I love using my PS3 controllers on my PS4
Oh wait...
I didn't expect the switch to use the wii u pro controller, but it really should. And PS4 should use PS3 controllers. And Xbox one should use xbox 360 controllers. It's bullshit they keep making people buy the same controllers over and over when they have all been following the same fucking controller mold for 3 generations or so
The Wii U Pro Controller is 5 years old.
nobody plays local multiplayer on ps4
I would say "its time to move on"
But sony and microsoft havent changed their basic layout since their first console, either.
So wtf nintendo?
The switch pro controller is the exact same as the wii u one. Thats why.
>SMASH ON THIS THING IS GOING TO SELL LIKE SHIT IF YOU CAN'T USE A GAMECUBE CONTROLLER
Are you kidding? Smash will make a killing, if theres anything smash-players are known for its adapting to meta-games and accepting new ideas.
>its old so it should be unusable
It actually has gyro
But that's false you fucking moron
>Not backwards compatible with other system controllers
We knew that already. Except for Smash of course.
>Support for certain controllers may be considered for a future update.
So like I said, except for Smash of course.
It's literally different. They're not even the same shape
people will care about this for approximately 5 minutes after launch and then forget about it forever
Literally the same fucking controller. At least SONY bothers to improve their controller. Nintendrones, as usual, eat shit.
>can't use ps3 controllers with my Ps4
wtf I hate sony now
...
>The switch pro controller is the exact same as the wii u one. Thats why.
It is not, the Switch Pro controller has the same technology as the Joy-Cons that's why it is more expensive.
but its got GYRO
100% NECESSARY FOR GAMES TO WORK
Someone get this leaf blower off my face!
It's bullshit, but people still buy it. I guess that's why they can keep getting away with it. It's not like the joycons are completely divorced from a "real" controller like the wiimote was, hell, I'd argue they're even more ideal just for being able to hold your arms in any position you want.
So, kind of like the DS4 compared to the DS3?
>people will care about this for approximately 5 minutes after launch and then forget about it forever
Just like the WiiU
What is shit we knew three weeks ago?
yeah, you should hate sony for that design choice. the difference between a dualshock 3 and 4 is seriously just the touch pad.
>dual shock 3 is almost entirely identical to ds4 except for game pad
>ds3 doesn't work on ps4 despite ds4 working on ps3
Even sonyggers like myself aren't immune to this bullshit
does it vibrate?
>have PC
>can use any controller ever made
>consoles once again feel useless and redundant
>games are on a completely different storage format
>bitch and moan about backwards compatibility like it is a surprise to you
You're like a special kind of retard, aren't you?
Smash plays fine without a gamecube controller.
Nigga I want to be top squid every time and I'm not doing that without gyro.
All competitive smash uses wired controllers to reduce input delay. There hasn't been one peep regarding wired switch controllers.
>>can use any controller ever made
You can't use the Wii U Tablet Controller yet
your move.
>Wii U pro and Switch pro are the same
Ok, where can I go and buy a upgraded Wii U pro controller with the screenshot catcher button added in? Plus the haptic feedback the Wii U pro doesn't have. Where can I buy that at? That's what I thought.
wtf i hate nintendo now
Then use a keyboard and mouse. It's objectively better than any other controller in existence.
>not currently compatible with controllers designed for other systems
Isn't that normal for consoles?
But the DS4 has the whole touch thing which acts as multiple extra buttons.
Switch has 1 big and 1 small vibrator in it. I mean ECH DEE RUMBLE
lol
I can't wait until the gyro is waggle meme dies. I've been singing its praises since Killzone 2
>Nintendo Switch won't let you use older controllers
Yes, and?
This is basically the same as every other console, so I don't see what is so different. The GameCube/Wii and Wii/Wii U were actually a rather special case of specifically allowing backwards compatibility. Even then, you still needed to use the controller of the new system to play new system games - you couldn't use your GameCube controller to play Wii games, even though you can hook the GameCube controller up to the system.
This is exactly the same situation as the PS4. (Apparently the Xbone can use 360 controllers, but nobody owns one of those.)
What exactly is the problem here?

Xbox One does it. Literally just reads the 360 game ID from the disc and downloads a digital version from the store, then uses the disc as a physical DRM
And, you know, the fact that you can detach them from the fucking system, and turn them into 2 separate controllers(and let's not pretend anyone on Sup Forums has more than one friend). That's not a big deal at all.
>go ahead and laugh, we'll see who is clapping by the end
Splatoon on PC would be sick
>screenshots
not needed for any game.
>haptic feedback
meme. Doesnt change anything.
Because it's only wrong with nintendo does it.
Wasn't a fightstick for the switch been leaked a while ago. I'd assume that's a wired connection, meaning possibly other controllers like the pro can connect via usb instead.
But isn't supported because of Jew practices.
Hence the need for a controller with gyro.
this thread is about the pro controller, drone.
Thing is the ps4 controller is at least an actual fucking controller. The switch and the wii u gamepad are fucking ipads with joysticks and buttons glued on. No shit I'd at least want something like the wii u pro controller so I don't have to hold a fucking bootleg ipad just to play the hundredth mario/zelda game.
Why would I want to play a game that's gimped with console controls? Why ask me to sacrifice efficiency and performance for some gimmick?
Even as a sonygger I feel betrayed by sony. There is no backward compability with controllers, the controllers themselves are fucking expensive and their battery life is absolute trash.
b-bu-but bloodborne and nioh!
...
WOAH IT'S LIKE WHEN A CONTROLLER HAS NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEWER VERSIONS THE OLD CONTROLLER IS UNUSABLE!
>The "dodging to the sides" guns seem broken in lower tiers.
>The roller looks fucking op at any tier
When the online for splatoon 2 breaks, its going to be the wild west.
Fuck off. 8 hours battery life, bright glowing colorful baby light, and being able to hear "WAHOO BING BING" on the touch pad isn't an improvement.
>- you couldn't use your GameCube controller to play Wii games
Well that actually depended if the devs wanted to implement GameCube controller compatibility, a lot of games like DBZ Budokai 3 gave priority to the GameCube controller and treated it like Player 1's device if it was plugged in.
gaming.wikia.com
Mouse is fine but I always felt movement with wasd feels weird.
You must be mistaken. This thread is about shitposting, why else would it be exploding right now?
I don't give a fuck about what you want to do.
The conversation was about the implementation of gyro in controllers, which I said I liked and needed.
Interesting. I was not aware of this. Small list, but it's neat to see they exist.
>Nights: Journey of Dreams
I will have to give that a try at some point.
Well I guess that since the Wii U could allow Wii controls in their games (see Mario Kart/SM3DW) then it shouldn't be surprising that the Wii could allow GameCube support. But, again, depends entirely on the game itself.
>liked
okay
>needed
No. You don't need it. That's just a marketing gimmick by Nintendo. If they weren't greedy and allowed KBM controls, that would be the prime control scheme.

Rekt, nerd
>SMASH ON THIS THING IS GOING TO SELL LIKE SHIT IF YOU CAN'T USE A GAMECUBE CONTROLLER
You couldn't natively use a Gamecube controller on the Wii U at all (or at all for the 3DS version, obviously). They made an adapter. Now, what will be a load of horseshit is if the Gamecube adapter they made for the Wii U isn't compatible if they do this again, and guess what, it won't be. It can't be used for a single other game.
>No. You don't need it. That's just a marketing gimmick by Nintendo.
Yes, I do need them if I want to play correctly.
>If they weren't greedy and allowed KBM controls, that would be the prime control scheme.
Yes, I already mentioned this. But the reality is they aren't going to support KB+M, hence the need for gyro in the controllers you fucking retard.
>exact same
>gyro controls
>swapped the button and right stick positions everyone shit themselves over
Don't get me wrong, I'd like to be able to use the Wii U Pro for non-gyro games.
>Grasping at straws: the thread
What modern console has been backwards-compatible int terms of controllers?
Wii U
If you're going to bait and shitpost, at least try harder.
It's bullshit that the system isn't at least compatible with the Wii U Pro Controller but
>being a Gamecube controller autist
>breaking your hands on that piece of shit
>i'll tell you what you need user
wew lad
>>swapped the button and right stick positions everyone shit themselves over
You don't understand just how important that is. Nintendo using the proper right stick position shows that, much like how America resists and rejects Trump-ism, Nintendo resists and rejects Sony-ism. This is a big move and shows that Nintendo won't back down against the most evil and despicable company in gaming. Hopefully, this E3, Reggie will go up on stage and punch some Sonyponies.
I'm just saying: everyone hypes it up as the best thing ever and that nobody is allowed to criticize it, but having hands on experience, I can't say a single positive thing about Splatoon, or gyro controls. So just keep that in mind when you market the game here.
That's all I'm saying. I mean no offense.
>no friends
>no interest in online multiplayer
The age of social rejects has finally come.
That's a shame. You sound like a boring person with terrible taste.
>i have terrible taste
>I can't say a single positive thing about Splatoon, or gyro controls
Not liking Splatoon is fine, that's just a matter of taste.
But if you seriously can't say a positive thing about gyro controls you're most likely a brain dead moron, as I've been slowly coming to realize throughout our conversation.
>So just keep that in mind when you market the game here.
>"they are defending something they like, therefore they are a shill"
LOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOLOL
FUCK NINTENDO ITS OVER SONY WINS
SONY KILLED MICROSHIT
SONY KILLED NINTENDO
ITS ALL BOUT SONY NOW BABY
(you)
IT'S A LIE!
Nintendo is gonna win! Nintendo is gonna win! Only poorfags can't afford $80 controllers!
(you)
See, this is what I'm talking about.
>you're boring
>le shit taste
>you're not allowed to criticize gyro controls
Honestly, only a marketer would say these things. if you were simply fans of the game, your proper response should be "i'm sorry you feel that way" or "i disagree". But these ad hominem insults just show a very unpleasant side.
Not enough to be stimulating
t. my balls
Gyro controls were used a fair amount last gen and they still didn't change the market. They may help but they're so fucked up to use and counter intuitive to couch play that they'll never really catch on.
You've criticized without providing any reasoning or arguments, though. You can't just say "it's shit" and expect to be done with it.
SO TF IS WRONG ABOUT GYRO CONTROLS THEN?
Or you could play things on your Wii U, the system you bought it for. Up to you, man.
It makes sense, things like the Gyro etc are not in the Wii U pro, the Wii mote would be too dificult to use in most cases, etc
I'm not surprised.
The good thing is that Gyro is now standard, it's really needed for games like Splatoon and hopefully Nintendo will use them more in the future
Careful, you're about to be called a shill for liking gyro controls.
>I don't like your points, so I'm going to pretend that they're invalid!
Sup Forums here.
What you see here is called Concern trolling, it's one of the shill primary tool.
On the one hand, top fucking kek.
On the other, smashfags are the most worthless bottomfeeders out there, so anything pissing on them is good.
>liking
It's not really about liking, at this point Gyro is basically as needed as the second stick
>smash players
>accepting of new things
Are you fucking kidding me? You know how many times the store I work at has to tell kids to gtfo because they try bringing their own CRT to a tournament? Every goddamn month.
What's worse is that most of the kids who bring them are bringing TV's older than they probably are.
>Sup Forums here
