Rumor: Nintendo Made the Wii U Pro Controller for "Call of Duty"


在E3大展中，任天堂突然公布了Pro Controller，这个和XBOX360手柄外观神似的Pro Controller让任天堂惹得一身骚，网络上各种“抄袭”论、“外设骗钱”论层出不穷，但是现在要告诉你的是，这手柄的诞生并不是任天堂的主意，而是游戏巨头动视强迫任天堂后的妥协产物，所以上述各种针对任天堂的“莫须有”罪名还成立吗？

上周，在英国布莱顿举行了“开发者”会议上，业内人士Michael Pachter透露，动视公司曾经威胁任天堂如果不推出“传统手柄”那么《使命召唤》游戏将不会登陆WiiU。动视是出于跨平台移植节省费用考虑，强迫任天堂推出类似Xbox360手柄的操作方式，而任天堂为了保住这个千万级销量怪物软件，最终只好让步，研发出了备受争议的Pro Controller，放弃以平板手柄的卖点。这也从侧面看出作为WiiU最大卖点在第三方支持度的尴尬之处。

Michael Pachter表示动视还没有向他确认此事，但他还是对任天堂改善与第三方关系做法表示肯定，但是也产生一个新的疑虑，习惯偷懒的第三方似乎有了借口，来放弃平板这个卖点。还是会因这手柄的通用性让WiiU平台迎来第三方春天呢？Pachter表示，WiiU想重现Wii的销量成绩基本不可能了，他把Wii的成功归于“运气”，而这种好运不会来第二次。是否真的这种情况？让我们一起期待WiiU的发售之日吧~

Speaking at the Develop conference in Brighton, England, Gamecritics pundit and industry analyst Michael Pachter claims to have been told that Activision told Nintendo that they wouldn't bring Call of Duty to the Wii U unless they provided a "conventional controller" for the platform.

"Activision never said anything to me," said Pachter. "But I know that [for] big games like Call Of Duty they said, 'No, we're not putting it on there if you don't give us a conventional controller'. So they gave in."
Pachter, who has been vocal about his concerns regarding Nintendo's upcoming platform for a long time now, called the Wii U "a solution in search of a problem". Pachter believes that the success of the Wii was lucky, and that lightning won't strike a second time with the Wii U..
