Didn't try the original although I did have a feel of it so I can't really comment on playing games with it.

My problem with the wii u gamepad had nothing to do with spacing but simply placement. For example on a PS3 controller my right thumb sits on the stick so its directly in line with my forearm almost. on the gamepad it has to angle higher up which throws of a position my brain has adopted for over a decade.Â

I wasntÂ the only one having this problem at euorgamer. I noticed the girl infront at the zombiÂ U kept dragging the camera upwards. I thought nothing of it until I took over. Something I will have to practice.

I had the same feeling as Az with button placement - was fine on the GamePad, but the classic controller didn't feel quite right - not just button placement, but the overall finish felt like cheap plastic (I'm hoping this has improved for mass production) - no way near the level of the GameCube, N64 etc.

I found no problems with it what so-ever, , then again I seem to be the type of person that's like that when it comes to gaming, before I ever played a PC fps, I read loads of complaints by console gamers who tried KeyBoard and Mouse controls and couldn't get used to them, but I did within like a minute, same goes with the Wii remote etc. [/quote]
Did you try the classic controller? I had no problems with the GamePad since the buttons are spaced out well enough. But the classic controller is smaller with less room. It is comfy, definitely, but the alternate face button and right stick layout can mess with your head in quick situations. It won't be a problem after a few sessions with it, but just curious if I was the only one that it felt unnatural to!

It will take some getting used to. Especially the classic controller. You naturally move your right thumb down to use the stick, but always mess up because it's at the top. Naturally trying to tap the Y button was also problematic since it feels too far towards the centre of the controller. It's something people will get used to, but having played with PS, Xbox and GC controllers for 15 years, there is bound to be a learning curve.

Has any else played on the gamepad? I find the right analog stick to be too high up. I keep pressing up instead of left/right. I already had poor dexterity where the right stick is confirmed I think I will struggle with any FPS.

This is the problem with Nintendo, they take so long to explain things. The damn thing launches in less than a month and we still know very little about the online capabilities with Miiverse etc. It's like they're scared of putting people off by opening up about certain features.[/color]

Those 32GB are flash storage and not hard drive though so obviously it costs more than the hard drive equivalent, so the 32GB Wii U and 320GB PS3, they're not so far in price those two options of storage. And the fact you'll be able to plug any hard drive in anyway means that you can get a 1TB + 32GB flash storage Wii U for 399$. It's a newer console with better hardware, a better GPU, obviously it's more powerful than the PS3 and 360, just give developpersÂ time. It's going to probably be the weaker of the next three the next generation ago, but the difference won't be as big as it was this generation.
