BEFORE the shitstorm, which could commence once everyone wakes up in Pakistan...
The 360's gamepad is an 'inspiration' for many hardware manufactures, i see nothin' wrong there
Though in this case, the original seems to be the better of the two.
About the console itself, can't say i am not impressed.
It's seems a much better console than Wii (gaming functionality wise), I 'll see what they have in store for us @ e3, looks promising.

The N64 controller was ultimately a source of inspiration for all future controllers with analog sticks.
*People connected through Wii U in the living room*
YeahThe NES controller was an inspiration for all future 'gamepads'
this explains it:
Most of the controller were a evolved form of the controller that they took inspiration from where as this Wii U Controller is almost direct rip-off of Xbox 360 Controller. Simply changing the Analog position doesn't mean it is no rip-off. Even the triggers seem familiar right down to the last detail -__-

cos its a best details abt U hardware for official thread.
^^ D00D imo IT would be awesome, infact the analogue sticks given above is EVEN EASIER FOR FPS USERS with triggers on back plus THIS WOULD ATLEAST HAVE A BETTER D-PAD than the actual 360 controllers that came

Nintendo Unveils New Ergonomically Advanced Pro Controller for Wii U at Pre-E3
Just like its predecessor, Nintendo's Wii U will have a second controller option that looks and play more like the traditional game controller.
The Wii U Pro Controller, unveiled in a pre-E3 video presentation, offers a second way for Nintendo Wii U's players to play games that don't work with the Wii U gamepad.
The separate controller is also lighter than the gamepad and certainly will be more familiar to non-Nintendo players and can help tap into more multi-console titles that don't fit into the Wii U gamepad's scheme.
The controller will be sold separately from the Wii U.

Nintendo's Pre-E3 Pulls Back the Curtain on Wii U's New Gamepad
Nintendo also unveiled a new "GamePad" to go with its Wii U as part of its pre-E3 announcement.
The "Wii U GamePad," named after the original NES GamePad, may look similar to the prototype that Nintendo unveiled at last year's E3, but some subtle and notable improvements have been added to the controller since then.
For instance, the sliding disc controllers on the top left and right side of the GamePad have been replaced with the infinitely more familiar 360-degree thumb-sticks that have become commonplace for Ps3 and Xbox 360 players and Wii users who prefer playing on the Classic Wii controllers. Nintendo has also redesigned the button layout to make room for the new sticks.
Nintendo also added an NFC reader or writer underneath the D-pad and the touchscreen in the middle of the GamePad can also be operated with a finger or a stylus pen. Both of these additions open up some interesting potential for the wide variety of gameplay the Wii U will be able to offer on a single peripheral.
Since the Wii U touts its ability to let players continue their game without a TV, they have also turned the new GamePad into a fully functional remote control that can control the television, even if the Wii U isn't running. The remote can be accessed with the TV button underneath the touchscreen on the right side of the device and turns the touchscreen into the interface for this remote.
This is all in addition to last year's announcements regarding the GamePad's motion sensors that will allow full motion control just like its predecessor as well as its ability to interact with both the television and the traditional Nintendo Wii controllers.

Nintendo's Miiverse Aims to Make Social Gaming Even More Sociable
Nintendo wants to ramp up the social component of gaming by expanding its "Mii" community into a "Miiverse".
Of course, every console has a way to communicate with other players by chatting or texting over their console, but Nintendo's "Miiverse" may be the most ambitious in-game communication system yet.
Nintendo unveiled its "Miiverse" in a pre-E3 corporate video as a expansive way to talk to other Wii U players, even when they aren't on their consoles.
The system not only allows players to text and chat with other players in traditional texting methods on their Wii U GamePad, but it also utilizes the GamePad's touchscreen interface to allow players to write or draw messages with a stylus or their finger. They can even video conference with other players on their Wii U.
The "Miiverse" also allows players to see their fellow "Mii's" in real time and what they are up to by gathering them around game, application and entertainment icons. Think of it as the Wii's "Mii" room with more real estate and better land management.
The interface can also take place inside certain games. A demonstration featuring what could be the new Super Mario Bros. game for the console allows fellow "Mii's" to send updates and messages to certain plot points and worlds within the context of the game that show up on the Wii U's touchscreen to avoid interference with the big screen gameplay.
The most impressive part of the "Miiverse" are the plans to offer access beyond just the Wii U. Nintendo plans to expand access to the "Miiverse" and incoming and outgoing messages on smartphones with web-access, PCs and the Nintendo 3Ds once the Wii U goes public.

^^ yeah i was thinking the same ! i mean they showed a black wiiU pad in the advertisement so a black version would be available at launch with white perhaps BLACK FTW !
@cbbhallutc: its pretty GOOD IMO, just think for fighting games etc u only use left pad not BOTH so using buttons with that is fine ! in FPS only u use both dpads and teh TRIGGERS buttons where as the buttons are less used ! SO perhaps now u should see from where im seeing it

Online session is enabled for UBL. I have an active subscription with my NayaPay card (it is already added to Google Payment Methods). -
Aciel:
I tried both NayaPay, and UBL, but I keep getting "correct country selected..." error. I already have PK set there

Necrokiller:
The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol -
Necrokiller:
It's based on an actual real life person so I don't think the woke police have a valid case here.

XPremiuM:
Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already. -
XPremiuM:
Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

Necrokiller:
Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
