Nintendo Unveils New Wii Controller

By Luke Plunkett

It's not like the Wii was ever short on control pads, but hey, if Nintendo feel we need another one - in this case the Classic Controller Pro - then we're not going to argue.

With information only currently residing on Nintendo's Japanese website, there's no word yet on price, or a firm release date (just that it's coming this year). The Classic Controller Pro differs from the original Classic Controller by adding some extra shoulder buttons, spacing the thumbsticks out a bit more and introducing some hand grips.

Should make playing those GameCube and N64 games a damn sight easier.

Nice, how it should have been in the first place.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

So they made a crappy version of the dual shock

 

Funny how so many people can say they dont like the PS2/3 controller only to say the design is great when nintendo makes it wired.

If it didn't connect to the Wiimote it would cost more money to make, which would mean I would have to pay more money for it. So not lame.

No, they made a weird version of the GC controller.



Personally I'm not a fan of the classic controller buttons as much as the GC buttons. I prefer one stick too.

The GC controller is amazing :3

Uh it looks like a dualshock to me with the gamecubes handles. the button layout is the exact same as the dualshock and completely different other then the C stick for the game cubes.

You could argue that the dual shock ripped off the Snes controller and added analogue sticks though.

Well, have u used the original classic controller?  I found it really annoying connected to the wiimote, i couldn't really move around much.  If they wanted to keep it cheap, i would have prefered it to connect to the Wii.

Also, they already have an old classic controller that is cheap with the wire.  So why not make the new one wireless to differentiate more?
