OH GOD!

SO!

MUCH!

YES!!

Please hurry. I always dreaded to get the WiiU with the awful pro controller. This controller would make the WiiU perfect.

That'd be great :D they just need to change the OS around to make it 100% controllable without the gamepad :3.

Glad they found a way to fuck it up by having it plug into a Wii remote.

It should be this^ notice how there's no wire. In fact, this should have been the Wii U Pro Controller from the start.

The Wired Fight Pad plugs directly into the Wii Remote External Extension Connector.

WHY!?!?!?!?!?

This is a Wii U, NOT a Wii!!! Stop supporting you last gen console Nintendo! This should have been a remodeled Pro controller, not a seven years too late CCP tethered to the Wii remote everyone wants to forget.

I realise having in plug into the Wii controller is a way of keeping costs down, but it's a bit lame. I wonder if this will herald the arrival of GC VC, not holding my breath though.
