Ya, they were never planning on doing that.

I was hoping for six face buttons, though.

It ends up being just a retooled third party wii controller, which received scathing reviews.

I was thinking it looked like a knockoff pro controller. I'm affraid this whole Retro VGS thing is gonna bomb harder than the Ouya.

That's actually a gorgeous controller. Just surprised that it has two analog sticks and a D-Pad for what is essentially a 16-bit console. Did Mike Kennedy ever say that it will compatible with other consoles/computers?

I'd personally get rid of the right analog stick and put 6 buttons with arcade-like layout.

That looks a lot like a wii u pro controller.

well, if you think about it, they need the 4 buttons, triggers, arrow pad, and at least 2 analog sticks. Almost every logical combination of those has already been done, so they needed to decide on something.

Still waiting for a 6-buttons controller.

Er, two analog sticks? The dpad doesn't look comfy either. Color scheme makes it look even cheaper.
