Wii U: Difference between revisions

The '''Wii U Pro Controller''' is an alternate peripheral for the Wii U console. It was introduced by [[Satoru Iwata]] in a ''Nintendo Direct'' video on June 3, 2012. The Wii U Pro Controller is somewhat similar to the Wii's Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro by the frontal button layout and that it has grips. However, the {{button|A}}, {{button|B}}, {{button|Y}}, {{button|X}}, and the {{button|Pad}} are found below the {{button|Stick}}, also clickable. The player's number's lights from the Wii Remote, and the {{button|wii|Power}}, have been added in the center of the controller, as it's wireless and it is battery-powered. The Wii U Pro Controller is also bulkier in appearance than the Wii's wired controllers, and the {{button|wii|ZL}} and {{button|wii|ZR}} are arranged differently as actual trigger buttons, like how they were arranged on the Classic Controller Pro, though they are now pressure sensitive. The control shares the same battery as 3DS's and can last working for 80 hours approximately.<ref>[http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=190115 Wii U Pro Controller and 3DS share the same battery]</ref> Its appearance overall resembles the [[Wii#Classic Controller Pro|Classic Controller Pro]] and in turn, the [[wikipedia:Xbox 360 Controller|Xbox 360's controllers]]. Like the Wii U GamePad, the Pro Controller cannot be used to play Wii games. ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' are compatible with this controller since the 1.3.0 update. ''New Super Luigi U'' was released on 19th June in Japan, 20th June in Europe and North America and 21st June in Australia. <ref>http://www.polygon.com/2013/5/31/4382622/new-super-mario-bros-u-to-receive-wii-u-pro-controller-support</ref>
