why the fuck did nintendo use such an outdated charging method

I had to go out and buy a cord for this because I didn't have any and I don't have a PS3 anymore

Even my nexus 2012 tablet has the same port as ps4 control

The Wii U came out before the other eigth gen consoles, so they were just following the standard.

>>375701740
good thing it came with the needed cable

>>375701740
>generic usb
>80 hours of battery life
>still complaining
the fuck do you want, shit was made in 2012 and extremely ergonomic

>>375701740
>trying to nitpick the best controller ever created

Literally why?

BECAUSE NINTENDO DOESNT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT FAT NECKBEARED MANCHILDREN THATS WHY

THEY ARE AN EVIL GOOK ZAIBATSU INTENT ON MAKING THEIR YAKUZA BOSSES LOTS OF MONEY AND POWER

>Why did Nintendo pick an adapter literally everyone owns and the product includes one just in case you've just woken from a 30 year coma

What do you want? Proprietary tech or something?

>>375703023
Everyone moved to MicroUSB after MiniUSB reigned for a while.

Now it's shifting to USB-C.

>>375703147
It goes both ways!

>>375703147
I don't throw out all my old cables the second companies jump ship to another adapter. I've still got SCART cables somewhere for instance.

>>375703147
>now
>2012
literally what, fucking pick one

>>375701740

Oh no, how will you ever plug the cable that comes with the controller into the industry standard port if it isn't the same port that is on your chink-phone?

Did you stop using plug-in headphones and car keys for the same reason, or are you just a fucking edge-lord looking for attention?

>>375703250
Well yeah, same here. But the standard on devices will keep changing because they get slimmer and faster.

>>375703147
What does it matter?

>>375703528
It uses Mini USB, not Micro USB. Mini USB is the same shit PS3 controllers used.

>>375702849
It would be perfect if it had analog triggers. So close to perfection.

>>375703615
Who said otherwise?

>>375703615
Okay, and what did the controller lose out on by being MiniUSB rather than MicroUSB? It's the part that I'm struggling to understand, because this isn't a device that transfers mass data, and the charge rate seems to be more than competitive with other controllers of it's type.

how is the wiiu pro controller? I'm thinking of buying one just for emulation etc and it's way less than the switch pro

>>375703757
As someone who doesn't give a fuck about racing games, analog triggers were a fucking mistake.

Just tapping a button instead of fucking 5 seconds presses are always better

what do you take us for, console trash?

>>375703712

Your reading comprehension needs some assistance.

It doesn't actually matter - use the cable supplied or buy a replacement - it is still a widely available industry standard.

Have you fuckers forgotten how it used to be - when every controller had its own plug?

People aren't getting up in arms over a standard adapter being used over a different standard adapter. So we all must be fanboys?

>>375703957
Or just someone who wants to press a button fast and not loose time just because I need to press this thing completly down.

Which games besides racing games needs analogs?

>>375703854
that stuff has potential. It was nicely used in some games (eg Luigis Mansion).
It's neat, yo

>>375704169
Sounds like you never used analog triggers.

>>375703757
FUCK YOU

>>375704169
I wasn't insulting your preference, just the 5 seconds.

Although by your logic we should ditch analogue sticks and use D-pads for everything.

Yeah that's it

Fanboys

Right

>>375704251
Tell me a game anon. In 20 years of gaming the only moment where I thought it's good to have analog triggers were with mad max

>>375704289
Anon analog stick can be good used with running in circles, pointing directions or walking slower. While analogs are only good for racing games, which are better with a wheel

>>375701740
Because they did.
If you need a new mini USB cable you can just order one from Amazon

>>375701740
This was way more robust than any micro usb.

So glad they jumped straight onto USB-C for all the Switch stuff. That standard is a godsend.

>>375704332
>he thinks those screws are a non-issue

Look at this idiot. The controller is almost unusable because of the screws you fucking worthless frogposter.

Why won't you die?
Why do you try so hard to live?

>>375701740
USB Mini is a lot less flimsy than USB Micro.

Fortunately, Nintendo moved to USB-C for the Switch.

>>375704453
Well then go emulate some Gamecube games with your digital triggers. Most first party games will be rather difficult to play.

>>375703910
>>375704352

I'm glad you seem interested in the subject. It's good to be proactive and learn about your illnesses.

Mini-USB used on:
PS3
PSP
Wii U
Mini-USB used on
PS4
cell phones
tablets

I have several of both and adapters. I've got an entire drawer of various USB cables, adapters or varying types, HDMI cables, ear phones, batteries, SD cards, and so on. Why be missing a cable when you could have 3 instead?
Then again, I'm a tech whore and a collector. I really don't want to know how many draws of cables hardcore collectors have.

I don't care about analog. What's more important, which the Switch Pro controller gets and is what finally puts Nintendo on top as having the all-time best controller ever, is the shape of the triggers. Just look at the beautiful, broad, ergonomic curvature of this design. The index fingers rest so perfectly along the surface, it's magnificent.

>>375701740
Micro USB was objectively shit, and I hate it. I wish it went from mini USB to USB C. Micro is too small to easily tell which way you should plug it in.

>>375705547
If you say so, I don't own a Switch (yet) so I can't say anything about that.

But with analog triggers they would be perfect. I mean it's a minor issue, sure but it's still an issue.

>>375705068
So you're retarded?

Unfortunately not

I haven't owned a Nintendo console since the 64

>device has old port/connector standard
>comes with dedicated cable
>old standard is stil used even if old
>replacement cables are still sold due to previous point
I don't see what's the problem, as long as all the points I listed are in place, the practical result is the same regardlesss of which standard is used.
>inb4 if the cable breaks you're forced to buy another one instead of using one you have from a different device
How the heck do you break a cable you're only supposed to use to charge the device once in a while?
Treat your shit good and they'll work for years before they become faulty on their own.
My PS2 controllers still work and they're more than a decade old.

You think owning or not owning one thing makes you better than your fellow man.

Where the fuck do you think you are?

>>375704169
Any game where you want to differentiate between different degrees of an action or where one action logically and smoothly follows from another. Can be very good for button economy as well.
You don't need to press the trigger all the way down anyway because analog doesn't have to trigger only when it's maxed out.

Standard analog triggers a shit anyway.
Dual stage analog triggers a best.

>>375706693
This isn't reddit right?

>>375706889
No, this isn't Reddit. You must have gotten lost. You should go back.

>>375701740
fuck nintendo for not allowing people to use this on the switch

>>375707069
Oh I'm gonna go back senpai

Yeah
