I was just thinking the game pad would make a pretty good high tech steering wheel as used in F1. What do you guys think? ---

not sure if you’ve actually held the game pad in your hand, but it has all digital buttons. the last thing i’d ever want to do is play a racing game with digital triggers. some aftermarket companies are starting to come out with “pro” (read: xbox 360 styled) controllers with analog triggers, which is much more suitable for racing games. ---

How is that supposed to work? Analog trigger aren’t just a matter of changing the button. The controller would have to communicate differently, and the game would have to have a special mode to accept that communication. Also, you are aware that the official Wii U Pro controller (which does look a lot like an Xbox controller, just with the analog stick and digital buttons swapped to be symmetrical) is made by Nintendo themselves and only has digital triggers, right? ---

I’d like to see Skyward Sword ported so you don’t have to use a motion controller to play it. ---

> [@furryman](#): > > I’d like to see Skyward Sword ported so you don’t have to use a motion controller to play it. The game would have to be completely redesigned, the Motion+ functionality was the absolute core of that game. Most of the bosses and enemies wouldn’t even work without it. Mere port it ain’t. ETA: Unless you mean drawing the slashes on the touch screen rather than slashing, which could work I guess. But I really question how well.
