I know, I realized that you were talking about non-Nintendo controllers in my edit. Didn't make the connection until later.
RachelB Wrote:Move your middle finger to the trigger, index finger to the joystick, and thumb to dpad. No, it's not terribly comfortable, but it works well enough if you need to use both at once. As you mentioned it's much, much easier on a playstation controller, which is probably why playstation games tend to make greater use of the dpad.
To play in that position constantly seems to outweigh the time it'd take to simply move your thumb down on Nintendo controller (360's as well). Ideally, I'd like to reserve my thumb's mobility for the main stick. Most Nintendo games now don't seriously use the D-pad, and if so make infrequent use of it for non-essential controls, so I can't imagine playing like that for extended times merely for the sake of the D-pad. The situation, however, fares a lot better on PS style controllers, where the main stick and D-pad switch places. It's actually pretty comfy with my Logitech Dual Action controller.
Yeah, i wouldn't want to play like that for any extended period of time with a nintendo, or xbox controller either. It's fine for short periods though. The playstation controller is vastly superior in this situation, and i have no problem holding it like that all the time.
The architecture for Wii U is same as Gamecube and Wii, but faster, so dolphin can use its current code to emulate Wii U (but will require a faster computer) So no, dolphin will not become obsolete ... yet.

We wish. The cpu ISA is similar. That's about the only similarity that exists between them.

They will release these remakes because/when they have no new original games to offer (like this NSMBU?) 
Super Mario Sunshine remake is a must!!!! 
Yeah but it's only an old-school 2D (2.5) game. Not an impressive 3D game that would have made WiiU sales launch quickly
What are you talking about?
Super Mario Sunshine is in 3D (well it is not in actual 3D, but the environment is).

Really? the Xbox 360 controller works fine for most Wii games (that support the GameCube pad) and GameCube games without a hitch.

Are we more likely to get a proper working Wii U emu than a 3DS one? I think there's a 3DS Emu out, but it doesn't come with any BIOS.
I would put my money on the 3DS. Its architecture seems to be better documented (so far) and a lot less powerful.
Does anyone else think that Wii U Gecko will be released before 3DS Gecko?

You must have missed "in this situation". The X360 controller is really nice otherwise. More or less equal to the ps controllers, depending on preference.
