Wii U Pro Controller

The Wii U console will support a number

of input types, including a new Pro controller,

which is built in the style of more traditional

gamepads. Check out a screenshot below.

Nintendo Introduces the Miiverse

When the system is first powered on, players

will see a home screen full of all their friends

Mii characters - a "Mii Universe".

There are a few other things mentioned in the video so make sure to watch!

After watching this preview of the Wii U, I got really excited and specifically with

the Pro Controller

I'm kind of hoping they have some kind of achievements system lol

The WiiU Pro controller looks cool. Will the WiiU be compatible with the Wii's Classic Controller though? (I don't mean the Classic Controller Pro, the older one)

[ATRS-37]

In the video I believe he says all the Wii Controller peripherals will be compatible with the Wii U, though he didn't mention it specifically, so I am not sure

I'm happy that they're going to release an actual controller with the system but it doesn't look like it will be half as good as the PS3/360 gamepads. Look at the D-pad and button placement, looks terribly uncomfortable to me.

Didn't watch the part about Wii U Pro Controller, but the part about Miiverse really got me excited and now hoping for a Achievement system.

Also found a Easter Egg in Miiverse picture - Look third person in top on the right side (It's Steve Jobs )
