It's great. It combines both the old and the new: the classic plus-sign directional-pad that Nintendo pioneered and which remains the gold standard, and it's also got comfortable thumbsticks as well as an original form factor that just melts in your hand. And of course it's made with the quality you expect from Nintendo, a company whose hardware has been rock-solid since the original Nintendo Entertainment System. While Sony sold people PS2s over and over to replace their busted ones, the GameCube was a tank. While Microsoft dealt with Red Rings of Death—so common it was generally accepted that were you pretty much renting the console until it broke—Wii owners could relax knowing their console was made with care. And that sort of attention to high quality extends even to their controllers, which you'll find as soon as your Wii U Pro Controller is delivered. As you remove the controller from its packaging, it'll become immediately apparent that this is a quality product made with genuine passion for games. A controller isn't just a peripheral, although some companies may treat it as such. The controller is at the center of the gaming experience. It is your connection with the world you see on the screen. This is why Nintendo was the one to pioneer the d-pad, shoulder buttons, rumble technology, and motion control. They understand that what you hold in your hand matters. With Nintendo you're in good hands, and that's why their controllers feel the best, in yours.
