Wii U - for Nintendo exclusives.

PS4/XB1 - flip a coin? both will get most 3rd party stuff; you won't miss much. I guess it comes down to what exclusives you want and which controller you prefer.

To Wii U owners: Do you use the standard controller normally or do you usually use the "normal-looking" controller? I'd like to own one eventually but I truly don't like that big controller with the screen

I've only used the pack-in controller so far, but I've come to the realization that I need a Pro Controller as well.

Really depends if I have access to the TV or not.

If the game is meant to work using one display, I'll use the pro controller (or some dedicated controller).

I find myself looking down a lot with games that duplicate the screen on the pad.
It's like trying to ignore closed captioning, even though I understand the words being spoken.

You mean current gen and purchase and enjoy despite resale depreciation? Or do you mean you're investing in stocks now for when the next gen comes out in 5+ years? :P

I almost exclusively use the gamepad or wii remote, depending on the game. (Wii remote for Mario Kart cause I'm a boss like that and Wii remote and nunchuck for Pikmin 3 because it really is a lot better that way). The only time I have used the pro controller is when playing Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, as there is really no use to the gamepad for the game.

I also have super big hands so the gamepad fits me like a glove.

@Blu

You already know how I feel on the debate :P

Anyone ever play this?

The most intriguing thing to me is the fact that there's a PlayStation 2 game published by NEC!

Ive played the 360 Culdcept Saga and it is decent. I have this as well, but have yet to play it. Tektoro was a big fan of it.

Don't knock it till you tried it.

I thought it was ridiculous looking at first too and would never be comfortable, but it really is. They've got a little finger ridge on the back right underneath the ZR/ZL buttons to help hold it better and more comfortably.

I bought a Pro Controller so my buddy could play Hyrule Warriors with me without having to Wiimote/Chuck it, but when I'm single played I'm always using the default gamepad. I will agree that you do occasionally look down at it though (less so now than I did the first week I bought it)
