Some interesting things came from this interview. The wii U pro controller wasn't know to the devs until recently. Also, some sort of extra content that hasn't been revealed yet will be made available for the WiiU version. The leviathan version should be on it, there really isn't much excuse if EA plans to sell the game for full price. Also, i'm fairly certain ME3 came out this year, not last year.

Youtube comment: "Controller looks so uncomfortable" (10 thumbs up votes)

oh god, when will this end? how many more reports from press and people who tried it out at events do people need until that goes away? I don't even get how it looks uncomfortable--it looks big, that's it. some people seem to have zero imagination.

I'm actually concerned with how the upper placement of the analog sticks cause one's thumbs to be on almost a 90 degree angle, making it more unconfortable to hold.

There's still the CCpro but then you won't take advantage on any screen feature.

Interesting that pressing the home button would be used for the off-tv play swap. I guess thats not going to be like that in the retail version.

@D-e-f- It depends on the person. Nintendo can make the most perfectly shaped controller. Some people will just still hate it. I don't like the pad, because the battery life will suck. @ddddd I hope not too. That would be dumb. There is the TV button next to the power button. Why would home trigger screen swapping?

I don't see how that's any different from how your left hand holds the thing. That has had the stick at the top since the Cube days. The way your thumb travels back and forth is exactly the same, only the default resting position and destination are flipped.

Placing the analogs lower and more centered like on the 360/PS3 and Wii's and WiiU Pro controllers puts your thumbs in a more confortable and relaxed position.

All these controllers offer that design for that reason... Nintendo couldn't implement them that way on the Upad because of the screen apparently.
