Check out this awesome as heck 3rd party controller in Australia.

Also, Nintendo says that the Game Pad will last 5 hours on a battery charge, but the Pro Controller will last 80 hours.
Also also, Game Pad's screen runs at 60 FPS with a single frame of delay on response time, according to Ubisoft. Sounds a heck of a lot better than Wii Motion Plus' best days.
60fps? oh lord
So, turns out that 3rd party controller up there is one of 5:

They'll go for $35 each, and, coolest of all, they work on Wii games, which Nintendo's 1st party Pro controllers cannot do. I may actually have to get a couple of these, assuming they are built well.
Two on the top right are begging for purchase
I thought those were already declared poor photoshopped pics and thus fake.
yeah thats pretty darn obvious

they are but i can dream
I played it today at Best Buy and was decently impressed. Rayman Origins looks and plays great, and the controller feels better in the hands than I thought it would.
The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that it's a resistive, single touch screen that requires a stylus. In 2012, for something that has to last five or six years, I'd expect capacitive multi-touch. But it works well enough, I guess.
Apparently there's some shenanigans with the processor, because it's not a Power-7, but a Power processor.
who cares

people that are still fapping to the Unreal 4 demo, that's who
Played Rayman Legends at Gamestop today.
It was pretty fun. I can't remember the last time I had that much fun with a demo. The controller is surprisingly comfortable, and I was impressed with how natural it felt.
I had some serious doubts before now but I feel its pretty solid.
i got to touch it (there were no games to demo at target)
but the controller felt nicceeeee

You should go back and check. I thought there weren't any demo games at the kiosk either until I scrolled through each game cover on the tablet and found that Rayman Legends had a demo.
I was really hoping for other demos too, to be honest
Dang you guys, not one store in my town has a Wii U demo.

Nah, mine had none. Which is a bummer. :(
Lo and behold, they put a Wii U kiosk all the way on my bordering city.
The Gamepad is amazing, but it only had Rayman Legends as the only demo despite having 7 more games in it. I played along with two strangers (two kids who looked like they were 12) and we enjoyed the game.
Though the second one asked me if it had "war games", but fortunately he had played Super Mario before. Typical...
You guys weren't joking, that controller mastered comfortability.
Finally got to play one, and holy moly is that thing amazing. Crazy comfortable, feels super sturdy, touch screen is perfect, all of the buttons feel nice, the right stick/face button swap isn't too awkward... I love this thing. Rayman Legends was fun, too.
Gamestop is processing the order as I type this. Not sure when they'll ship it per se, but likely before the weekend gets through, so it'll likely be here Monday or Tuesday. yes, I ordered online. From what I've heard the thing is great.
