It looks disorienting and will hurt your hands due to the awkward position.

Please, tell me more about this controller that you have held and used so many times.

Are you stupid or just stupid?

That's a serious question.

The positioning of the sticks IS awkward. There's a reason why one is upper and the other is lower or both are low, it's easy to reach, and it doesn't cramp your hands. They hire people who DESIGN controllers like that so games are comfortable to play. That controller, will be awkward to hold and your thumbs will stretch out and cramp.

Have some knowledge of the damn subject before a blind white knight.

Whoa, you don't have to freak out and be so rude. Tmrd speaks some truth. You never know till you try it. The Wii U GamePad looked like it would feel extremely uncomfortable to many, but everyone who has tried it out says it feels great. Its analog sticks are also on top of the main buttons, btw. And you never know, the controller may be smaller than you think it is. We have nothing to compare it to. Also, you think Nintendo didn't hire people who design controllers to make it comfortable? They're one of the biggest gaming companies. They've probably put a LOT of consideration into all of this and had a LOT of testers. It's probably something that'll take a few hours of getting used to. Sure, there's a chance that it'll be awkward to play with and hurt your hands, but we can't say for certain. If anything, it'll probably be just fine.

I agree that jab was unnecessary but his Jab did not really give me a proper reply but just an under-handed attack. I'm not saying that Nintendo doesn't, I'm saying is that they might have not properly looked into the ammount of sizes and shapes a human hand can have, It could prove uncomfortable for people with smaller hands. Again, I started it with "It looks" as in, I'm going by what it seems to be, and if it is, it WILL hurt your hands for extended play time. The buttons under the control stick would be a hard thing to get use to for some gamers. Again, we'll just have to wait and see.
