God damn that thing is huge. I cannot imagine playing anything for an extended period of time with it. Has anyone else played it yet? What are your impressions of the controller.

Yep, the weekend is definitely upon us.
But nah, I didn't find it too big at all, but the cord it's attached to is heavy as shit.

I can see myself having an easy enough time with a more laid back adventure title like Zelda, or even Mario, but... how about playing something like Ninja Gaiden 3 or Bayonetta 2 on this sucker?

Hm, a lot of people have said it's smaller than they expected. Anyway mine will be the first one I hold in my hand, and it will be special.

I use it to talk, I'm a dinosaur.
Maybe he's just really small. Like a raccoon or something.

I got a hold of it since they put up the kiosk at my job. It surprisingly light and very comfy. I didn't have a problem with the size of it. In fact, I feel the Touchscreen is a bit small. Also the console looks very odd though. It seemed ok looking at picture, but after seeing it in person, it is very weird.
How old were you when the first XBOX launched ?
The comparable size of my hands at that time with the hugeness of the controller makes the WiiU controler melts in my hand

I was impressed with the controller, but I have American man hands and loved the duke Xbox controller. I guess it is surprising that a Japanese company would make such a big controller though.

I went to Target today and got a chances to hold one. I liked the weight, but the way it felt was weird. Reminded me of some sort of huge toy. Too bad there was only videos and no demos on the kiosk at the moment.

Hmmmm so far I've heard lots pf positive things about the controller from people I know
It's very light and I tried mimicing CoD on it and it felt good enough for me, and I can play on my bed
it's gonna be sick
Should have went to the Wii u impressions though

This. Did you even try searching?
Yeah I thought the weight was fine, the cord was heavy as fuck though
I was about to try it on Friday after getting NFS Most Wanted.
Someone else was using it at the demo kiosk and complained to the clerk that it was a bit unresponsive. The clerk then said, "It came into the store with sticky stuff all over it."
I immediately thought to myself: "NOPE. Not touching it (lol)."

Nintendo fans are fervent.
Do you have trouble holding your hands further apart than the width of a Dual Shock/360 controller? Are you unable to drive a car for an extended period of time?
If the answer to any of these questions is 'yes', please seek medical help immediately.

I don't have any problems holding a textbook open for long periods of time, but that doesn't mean it's a practical size for a video game controller.
It probably just takes getting used to, I'm sure they've tested this extensively to get the right screen size vs. controller size ratio. But it's an obvious and legitimate gripe and it's silly for people to get so defensive about it.

Even if i hate the controller im going to convince myself its great because i love Nintendo.
I dont mind admitting these feelings.

Ghost Protocol doesn't like a Nintendo thing? Well, that's a first. I would have thought him, of all people, would love it.

Figures.......
When I played with the GamePad for the first time, it just felt great to hold. It fits my hands perfectly and all the buttons are easy reach - even the top and bottom shoulder buttons. I also watched some little kids playing it as well and they seemed to not have any issues whatsoever either......

Most of the time you will probably be sitting with it in your lap.
So... I don't really see the problem.

Should've gone for the Dreamcast-style cord on the bottom.
Nintendon't once again
The controller is fine.
It felt great when I held it. I even played Takamaru's Ninja Castle (seriously fun) for quite a while and didnt have any problems.
On a side note, Takamaru's Ninja Castle is basically a light gun shooter but with
Ninja's and throwing stars. Just let that sink in for a moment.
