Yeah I had two or three times where ZombiU just stalled on loading for a minute. I think this is more of an issue with that game than the system in general. ZombiU does have a few glitches, it is Ubsisoft after all.

That is true.

Anyone else love the Wii U Pro controller as much as I do? It feels great. 360 knockoff or not. It feels a little better to me. I like the analog sticks, and I like that the dpad isn't tiny like on the Wii remotes.

Already have two of them. Thinking of returning one. I got two to help with multiplayer with friends.. But I kind of feel like they should buy their own. :P

Speaking of the Pro Controller, ours doesn't vibrate/rumble. Is it faulty?

It does, but I haven't noticed it. Wonder if I have it turned on. Or perhaps the game I've tried with it doesn't have rumble. Didn't notice it with the Wii U Gamepad either.

They both rumble. I always turn it off though, the battery life improves greatly on the gamepad with it off.

I bet. My Gamepad only lasts 2 - 3 hours with rumble on, power saving, off, and brightness on 3.

On the other hand, the Pro controller lasts forever. Was still at a full 4 bars after about 8 hours of play. Wonder how long it'll last on each charge.

I wish they'd re-release the Wii remotes w/ built in battery packs. Don't really understand why they haven't.

Hilariously I'm pretty sure I've seen people complain that 80 hours isn't long enough for the pro controller.

Next gen controllers must last 1 month on a single charge!

I agree! I've been saying the same thing.
