Wii Classic Controller gets upgraded, PlayStation-style |
Ó
The Wii Classic Controller and the new Classic Controller PRO
While everyone's trying to get into the motion-sensing scene to compete with the Wii's popularity, the Wii's going back to a more traditional form of gaming. They upgraded their Classic Controller to the new Classic Controller PRO, which has a distinct PlayStation-esque flavor to it.
The PRO has new handle grips, and a new shoulder layout which will make the teeny tiny ZR and ZL buttons easier to hit. No doubt it'll attach to the Wii Remote as well. The controller will be released in Japan sometime this Summer, but no details were released for other regions yet.
Nintendo didn't say why they're coming out with a new controller, though it might have had something to do with the patent suit they lost last year. They could also be planning new, more advanced games for the virtual console - though I doubt we'll be seeing any SIXAXIS-type games any time soon.
Thanks to Silver-Tiger for the tip!

it'll attack to the Wii Remote as well?
did you mean attach?
Thanks ^^ I'd give you a cookie, but I got hungry.
And that was my first post.....lol
they didn't go for the asymmetrical style, with the Dpad and left analog swapped.
From the looks of it it better be able to be used as a gamecube controller too. I wonder if they are going to up the price on this new model. The older one is cooler to me, has that nostalgic snes look and feel, this is just a gamecube controller with different sized buttons, which you can already use for the VC titles.
I just hope they include a rumble feature for the new classic controller. I've been dying to see this since Brawl. And hopefully, we'll get it for TvC !!
Nintendo found a convenient excuse to charge $5 more for their crappy controllers. They're even ripping off the exact playstation layout.
I got my Nyko nunchuck and classic controller for $30.
