Current Events > I'd forgotten how crazy good the Wii U Pro Controller battery life

(+) Yeah! (+)

I had never beaten Twilight Princess, so I dusted off the Wii U and charged up a controller to start playing. At this point, Im over 12 hours into the game, and the battery on my controller is still at a full charge.

Honestly, Id have no problem with Sony & Microsoft rolling back some of the bells and whistles associated with their controller if they could provide battery charges that were even half as good as this.

My Wii U Pros are going on over 10 years old and they're still amazing. Even using them on my PC all day, including on the OS, I rarely have to charge them.

They also have the best button and stick layout

It really is a simple controller, but it works. Very light, too. I think my only complaint is the position of the home button, as the power button seems like it should be the home button. But thats pretty minor.

I'll be honest besides the dualsense controller the launch wiiU pro controller is hands down the best modern controller I've used. Along with the elite series 2.
