Just bought a Wii U

I love the N64 and still play it on the regular, so my first question is: what controller should I buy? I played the original Wii and the wand was decent. Do I go with the pro controller? If so, where can I get one for cheap?

Go Pro or go home.
But really, whatever you want. If you are a traditional gamer, the Pro will just feel more comfortable than everything else.

you can go ahead and get a pro controller, or if you feel more comfortable with a game cube controller Nintendo will be releasing an adapter so game cube controllers will work with the Wii U.

I downloaded Star Fox 64 on Wii, and all the "C" buttons are mapped to weird places. It makes the game very unpleasant to play.
Hopefully the pro controller improves upon this.

It won't. You probably need a classic controller.

I HATE YOU!
Im trying to wait until Xmas to get one.
I wish I had wavebird controllers. My neighbor and best friend had them and we always played at his house so I never bought one.... or got my parents to buy one for me haha.

Download profiles to a usb and update the game's controller profile.

fricking search function. Got a great deal on the console so I think I will pick up at least 1 pro. Is the game pad easy to use for MK8 and 3D World? Those are the only games I currently care about

Can't speak for 3D world but I use it exclusively for MK8. Plus you have the option for motion controls or stick controls with it, which is pretty cool

I find the gamepad easier to use on every game. It fits a lot more comfortable in my hands than the Pro pad. The pro pad sort of forces your wrists inward at angle and locking them in a weird position.
The gamepad just sort of sits in your hands, very comfortable for long play sessions.

This is what I use. A lot of the moves just don't feel natural. I wish they would let you use an N64 controller.

I wish Nintendo would release classic controllers not just the pro pad. If they made the original NES controller and Snes controller I would buy them. I would also buy an adapter to make the ones I still have work.

Phone typing with a fckked up thumb. Blasted the skin off of it pressure washing the house.
What I was trying to is, you can download a pro controller profile for the game of you choice. IDR the site, but i've have watched some youtube videos where reviewers mentioning it.

Considering a new Wii U? Here's one way to get the most out of it. (x-post from r/gaming) (self.nintendo)
submitted 4 hours ago * by superjmad
In this post I will be strictly talking about buying the Wii U new. With Nintendo pushing people off that fence I thought I'd share how I get more for my coins. Sorry if this sounds obvious but I was surprised by how many people I have talked to who had no idea about these deals.
Nintendo has two great programs I think everyone should be apart of.
-First and most obvious is Club Nintendo ( club.nintendo.com ). Register your games and consoles, get coins, exchange for free stuff.
-Second is the Digital Deluxe Program ( ddp.Nintendo.com ). Only available for folks who have purchased the black 32gb model, this program will give you 10% back on all digital purchases made through Nintendo's Wii U eShop.
Now that we have a quick rundown of the programs out of the way, I'll give an example of what you can get for free with your Wii U purchase.
Let's say you bought the Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle for MSRP 329.99.
Registering your Wii U will get you 160 coins, registering Mario Kart 8 will get you a free DOWNLOADABLE copy of one of the four following games; Wii Party U (reg 49.99), New Super Mario Bros U (reg 59.99), Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD (reg 49.99) or Pikmin 3 (reg 59.99). Registering your free game (as long as your Club Nintendo account is connected to your Wii U) will get you up to another 60 coins.
Now that we about 220 coins. Might I suggest another free game? This month for 200 coins is Kirby Adventure for Wii U or for 250 coins is Mario Party 2 for Wii (playable on Wii U).
Now back to the Digital Deluxe Promotion. We just got a downloadable copy of say Pikmin 3 and Kirby Adventure, yes these count as purchases and even though no money was exchanged you get 10% back. So here's some eShop credit to get ANOTHER free game. I'll take Super Mario Bros on NES or maybe the first Zelda game in honor of the new one coming out.
Hope that helped some future Wii U owners out there. Some promotions are sure to change and might not be in other regions. So take it as you will. Thanks!
TL;DR. Buy a new Wii U, register everything, get free games through Digital Deluxe Promotion and Club Nintendo.
EDIT: 5% changed to 10%. Changed coin amount.
