Wii U Pro Controller - White

I love this controller! The feel of it is great and the battery is amazing! The joysticks are both responsive and sturdy! The only thing that is a downside to this controller is just getting used to where the D-pad and buttons are located! I have played games on other consoles and Im used to positioning my fingers in other locations but its not such a big deal because ill get used to it and my hands are big enough that both my thumbs can rest comfortably on the joystick or the D pad and x,y,a,b buttons! Seems like people with smaller hands might have a harder time though especially with the Y and B buttons (which i even find annoying to position my hands to reach them comfortably!)But Overall isn't that big of a deal! I tried this controller with some Virtual Console games and it works great! but like I said it takes time to get used too! The only game that felt perfect with this controller to me was Super Metroid which ironically I never felt comfortable with the default button layout on any other controller including the Gamepad and the classic controller but for some reason it feels perfect with this pro controller! I haven't tried it on many other games but so far it seems very good! This is a controller for the Wii U so obviously it works with Wii U games and the Wii U virtual console only! People expecting a controller to play games for the original Wii need to get a classic controller then! This isn't a disappointment to me because I have both! Also if you are expecting to buy a controller made for a new console to play games on an old one that is just silly! Not many games support this controller right now so beware! Look up online to see what games support it before you make your purchase! Hopefully future games that come out allow more support for this controller! The new Super Smash Bros for sure will support it and Nintendo is going to update New Super Mario Bros U in the coming weeks to allow support for the controller as well! Its an official Nintendo Controller so Im sure they will support it on all their games!

It came with stick drift

Okay, dude...I can't stress this enough. This is literally the best controller on the market. Allow me to put this into perspective. The Playstation 3 controller is $60, is super uncomfortable because it's design is stuck in the 90's, last's maybe 12 hours of battery, and the buttons feel and durability is mediocre at best. The xbox controller comes slightly cheaper, usually around $40, contours better to the hands, has a better analog placement, but still has the kinda okay battery life and button feel/durability. The WiiU controller can be found cheaper than both (around $30 if you look in the right places), fits the hand even more perfectly, has amazing button feel and durability, the analog sticks are both placed in equally comfortable places, and it has a whopping 80 hour battery life. I purchased this thing, charged it once, and has been heavily used for over 3 weeks. no charge. This thing, with the Mayflash adapter, is single handedly the best controller on the market and I highly recommend it.

This controller is, in my opinion, far more comfortable than the one that comes with the system and the battery lasts much longer. In fact, I have only had to charge it once or twice since I've had it. The quality is good, but there are two screw holes which you may notice a bit when holding the controller. Also, there is no motion controls; why Nintendo didn't install that is a mystery to me because it upsets me when I play Mario 3d world and can't play the toad levels because you have to have the controller that comes with the system for those levels. Other than that, it's a step up from past controllers by Nintendo.

I picked this up in anticipation of Super Smash Bros. eventual release, before we knew about the Gamecube adapter, and I have to say, I'm glad I won't have to end up using this for that game. The Wii U Pro is not a bad controller by any means, it just contains a couple of missteps and a generally un-special feel to it. To be clear, if you just need a solid controller to play traditional style games, this will work fine. Its main issue is the placement of the right stick and face buttons (ABXY). Traditionally, the right stick is in the lower position and the buttons are above, which is comfortable and appropriate for most games. But, I assume, in order to stay in line with the Wii U Gamepad's layout, both sticks are above. This works well enough on the Gamepad because of how they placed the buttons in relation to where you grip the controller, but on the Pro that's not the case. You have to somewhat awkwardly reach your thumb down pretty far to reach the further face buttons, which doesn't feel right, and certainly wouldn't cut it for a round of Smash Bros. The controller also just has a bit of a light feeling to it, and your opinion on that is probably a matter of taste. If you're used to a Playstation controller, it will probably feel right, but I like a little heft. The Pro also does not seem to charge when the Wii U is turned off, which is likely more a fault of the system's design, but it's worth knowing. Otherwise, the individual inputs all feel nice and have satisfying movement to them.

Does not sell actual Nintendo made controller. Barely works and is made of cheap plastic. DO NOT BUY AMAZON IGNORED MY COMPLAINT AND SO DID SELLER. GO TO BRICK AND MORTAR STORES, do not end up like me and a few others that I chose to ignore :(

The controller itself is very good. I like that Nintendo basically ripped off Microsoft's Xbox 360 controller, since that is one of the best controllers ever designed. The only real difference is the right analog stick is positioned higher, and the 360's controller has a crappy D-pad (they fixed that on the Xbox One controller though). I very much enjoy that this is a standalone controller. I like the old Wii's classic controller (with dual analogs), but hated that it had to be connected to a Wiimote to use. This one doesn't need to be connected to anything else, but that also explains the higher price. The sticks, buttons, and triggers all feel very nice and are comfortable to use. It depends on your game library, but there are many many games out there that I would HIGHLY recommend this over a Wiimote for. But if you mostly play single-player games, the Wii U gamepad makes for a decent controller too, so you may not need to get one of these. For multiplayer games though, don't force your family/friends/guests to use a Wiimote when there is this much better controller you could purchase instead. :) Overall, I picked this one because it was 10 bucks cheaper than the black version. Probably since they cleaned out the pointless 8GB Wii Us, and only sell black 32GB ones now. I'll probably get another one soon in black though. 3-4 of these will almost certainly be a necessary purchase once Mario Kart 8 and the next Smash Bros are out, so in the meantime you may want to just keep an eye on them and buy them during any sales or price drops.

This is too expensive in my book. Overall it works well but it has a tendency to suddenly have problems while starting a game or while in gameplay. The game system seems to be getting some type of signal that the controller is trying to move in a left or right direction and you then cannot use the controller. The only way we have found to fix this problem is by shutting off the controller and then turning it back on. Sometimes you have to do this several times and it can get to be quite frustrating for a $50 remote to have to do this.
