But the Pro Controller charges by USB in just 4.5 hours, giving a nearly 18:1 ratio between charge time and play time. The ridiculous battery life probably has something to do with the comparatively weak rumble motor in the Pro Controller, so there's a give and take involved here.
#CHARGING WII U PRO CONTROLLER MANUAL#
This was actually known before the system came out, but seeing this factoid in the user’s manual was just mind-boggling.
Then again, if Microsoft had gone with the Nintendo standard, who’s to say the big N wouldn’t sue? The Wii U Pro Controller lasts 80 hours on a single charge. Nintendo has been using this button naming layout since the SNES (and through to the Wii’s Classic Controller), so Microsoft is the one flouting convention here. That’s gonna be really hard to keep straight when switching between systems. While we're talking small details, look at the way the various buttons are named on the Xbox 360 controller (bottom) and Wii U Pro Controller (top). It's a nice touch that allows the controller to slide in and out very easily, and it's a bit reminiscent of the similar charging cradle that came with the 3DS. Instead of using a protruding charging point that might wear out as the controller is inserted and removed, the charging cradle uses a couple of small metal contacts that pop up when the GamePad is placed down, touching two small plates on the bottom of the controller. The charging cradle that comes with the Deluxe edition of the Wii U is pretty nice, letting the system slide in easily and securely while standing it up for display. The GamePad charging cradle uses pop-up contact points Our best guess at this point: an expanded battery pack to extend that three to five hour battery life.
The screw hole, and the divots next to it, line up with the mystery connector at the bottom in such a way that it looks like it could be used to secure a bulky accessory that latches in to both connectors and sits flush with the back of the GamePad. New Nintendo 2DS XL system, New Nintendo 3DS XL system and Wii U console. The female screw hole in the middle of the controller's back ridge is very similar to the kind you'd see on a camera tripod, though the ridge would seem to get in the way of the base for most such tripods. On the Pro Controller, the NFC touchpoint is located over the Nintendo Switch. You’ll have to shell out an extra $49.99 for one if you want to put its crazy battery life claim to the test.UPDATE: Thanks to former Ars writer Ben Kuchera for pointing us towards yet another mystery connector on the back side of the GamePad, as shown above. The Wii U Pro Controller will launch alongside the console on November 18th, though it won’t be included in any bundles out of the gate. It seems that despite being nearly identical in function to the Wii’s Classic Controller Pro, you won’t be able to use the Wii U’s Pro Controller to play any of the backwards compatible Wii software. the controls feel a lot like the Wii U GamePad, with more compact buttons. The controller has been charging for over 4 hours now, and the battery light is STILL on. You should be able to use your Switch Pro Controller with any game on your PC. It also features its very own power and sync button. Unlike the classic controllers which needed to be plugged into a Wii remote, the Pro Controller sends wireless signals independently to the console via Bluetooth. It is an updated version of the Classic Controller Pro for the Wii. Of course, you didn’t expect all the new details on an upcoming accessory to be positive, did you? Oh, silly you. I just bought a Wii U and a Wii U Pro Controller yesterday. Wii U Pro Controller is a controller for Wii U.
It features a rechargeable battery pack – as opposed to AA batteries that Wii owners will be very familiar with replacing – which is recharged via a cord that plugs into the system. The new Pro Controller takes after the Xbox 360 controller in a number of ways, including shape and much of its button layout. Compared to current generation controllers which top out at around the 25 to 30-hour mark, that’s quite an improvement. The Wii U Pro Controller, for its part, will make things a bit easier with a remarkably long 80-hour battery life on a single charge. With three controller options available from launch, we expect to be charging Wii U accessories left and right from day one. The Wii U’s most traditional controller will last a while, but don’t expect to use it on Wii titles.
