Forums - Nintendo - Mini-review: Classic Controller Pro

Note: I own both the White and Black Classic Controller Pro.

Wow.. this thing is quite comfortable.  I'm willing to say that it's more comfortable than a Dualshock 3.  Not unlike the Dualshock though, the analog placement is rather awkward.  Even so, the coarse handles and overall better ergonimics really give the Classic Controller Pro an identity.The larger ZL and ZR really add more to this as well.  It's a controller that's best when used on NES and SNES classics, as well as 2D Wii titles.  The control layout, analog layout and lack of rumble can be quite disorienting when playing N64 games but they're at the very least playable.  As with most hardware I've used, the black is a dust and fingerprint magnet while the white is a dirt magnet.

Parting ways with $19.99 isn't so bad.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I got it for free! 10$ off with Monster Hunter 5$ off for pre-order and 500 wii points for pre-order....and yes it's good!



Former something....

Original CC seems fine for NES/SNES. If I get a Pro, it'll be to play N64 games, so disappointing to hear it's not much better with those.

I've had the controller once in my hands, I didn't like it much.

I prefer the gamecube controller when I need to step back again to classic controls.

Muramasa is awesome with the Gamecube controller.



I did not realize it would work with all the games that use Classic Controller I will have to pick one of these bad boys up.

I think it works pretty well actually. It is better than the old CC.



The Classic Controller Pro seems to be a vast improvement on the original Classic Controller (in almost every possible way).
