Along with confirming the revised Wii U controller, Nintendo also revealed a new Wii U Pro controller that includes analog sticks, and trigger and face buttons.

No price or release date was announced at this time. We'll likely hear more about it at E3 this week during Nintendo's press conference.

I wonder if the first mule's parents were shunned by their parents for not agreeing to their pre-arranged marriages...

MY BODY HAS NEVER BEEN THIS READY.

I'm so glad that there will be an actual controller for the Wii U, even if it looks like an xbox one
by Earthbound_X Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 05:49 PM

I'm fine with it looking like a 360 controller, since I really like the 360 controller.

I like it. Wonder if the button placement was just to not get into trouble given how close it looks to the 360 controller, though at least the D-pad will be better. I'm sure I'll get used to it. It also has it's own battery pack, which is another bonus.

It looks like a combination of the ps3 and 360 controller
by alex720 Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 05:51 PM

This is so much different than the normal Wii U controller, almost as if it belongs to another system.
by KnifeAssassin Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 05:51 PM

The 360 has what I consider the most comfortable controller I've ever used, so I'm okay with this design.
by NumbKillinSkull Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 05:51 PM

So do you get a choice on what controller you want to use?
by Elwaldorf Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 05:52 PM

While I did like the ideas behind the Tablet controller, they now have my undivided attention.
by Altair Ibn-La'Ahad Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 05:52 PM

looks like an Xbox and PlayStation controller Mix
by Boyzby Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 05:54 PM

I imagine it would be weird to play a game and have to constantly reach for the face buttons that you use all the time. I guess they just didn't want it to look exactly like the 360 controller.
by The Invertroid Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 05:54 PM

Look's pretty cool. I imagine it'll be used to play the next Smash Bros game along with Virtual Console games, and Gamecube HD rereleases.
by rekoin Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 05:55 PM

Wow, they are really opening up
by Jesse Hicks Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 05:56 PM

This controller will surely help Nintendo's updated system!
by Kuntryboy601 Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 05:58 PM

hmmm might look into the Wii U now...i was gonna pass with that screen controller. ..looked ridiculous
