Anyone else not able to reserve the Pro Controller?

**izembo** · 2012-09-13 19:16

pro controller will be available to reserve tomorrow, as will a few other accessories

**Eleven19** · 2012-09-13 19:19

I would imagine that since it'll support Wiimotes, it'll also support Classic Controller Pro attachment, right?

Probably not a need to purchase a new Pro controller right off the hop for most of us, except for simplifying what we already own.

Will probably have to buy some Mote+, the only one I had was the one that came with Skyward Sword.

What other accessories, Iz?

Thats the point.
Most people want black items in there home, it's the new white.
It's subliminal marketing. If the higher priced one was white it wouldnt sell as well.

Been a long time since I bought my 360 but wasn't it only black if you bought elite models (top tier)? Still lame however, but such is life.

Also, yes classic controllers are at least supported by the console, but I think that requires some effort from the devs to make it work with a game doesn't it?

but i wanted the white

should be 1 or both color pro controllers, some charge station type things i think, screen protector and stylus or something like that, its only like 6 things

**Eleven19** · 2012-09-13 21:05

yeah I kinda wanted the white one just because I like my uhh.. Wii's to be white or something lol. Too much black with the ps2/3 in my cabinet. Loved that the Wii was white.

Not going to argue with 50 bucks more for a bigger hard drive, some stands and a game though.

**Shenrien** · 2012-09-13 21:21

I want one but I fear that it'll be another 4-6 years of shovel ware that will sit on the shelf.

Concept Art for the new game by the Xenogears devs

Spoiler: show

**Deader2818** · 2012-09-13 21:25

People act like 360 and PS3 doesnt have a shit ton of shovel well as well, lol.

At least it has titles you would want to purchase that are not only first party? I think the only game that wasn't first party that I purchased for my Wii was Xenoblade Chronicles, there wasn't a whole lot else that was like omg I have to purchase this day one.

**GentaiShinigami** · 2012-09-13 21:40

Everyone also assumes the next gen systems from MS/Sony will be some huge leap in graphics. I'd wager it will not as they've seen how profitable it is to not go full retard and launch at bleeding edge and a $600 price point. I for one hope they make better improvements to AI, shaders, hair, animations and things like that rather than trying to squeeze a few more polys into the models. Once you hit 1080/60 it's a pretty hard sell to showcase better graphics; especially when advertising it through commercials and internet streams that are compressed (sometimes multiple times). They aren't going to floor you like the jump from SNES to N64 or PS1 to PS2 anymore. Even PS3/360 to top of the line PC, to me at least, is not that drastic. I highly doubt anything they launch even if it is in two years will match current top shelf tech.

Lol, Xenoblade was basically first party too XD They own 95% of Monolith now (well, years ago). I guess that makes them second party devs?
