The big thing on Wii owners’ minds today is most likely the release of Capcom’s Monster Hunter Tri. But Nintendo has gone ahead and released another noteworthy Wii-related product today: the Classic Controller Pro.
This marks the first time the controller has been made available outside of Japan. It’s available in white or black, and will set you back $19.99. Nintendo is also selling a bundle that includes a black controller and a copy of Monster Hunter Tri for $59.99 if you feel like killing two game-birds with one game-stone.
I had a chance to try out the controller at a Monster Hunter Tri event not too long ago, and it felt great. I’m still not a fan of side-by-side thumbsticks, but that’s just me. Anyone picked up/plan to pick up the new controller? What you think?
Should the need arise, feel free to E-Mail me your tips, suggestions, and/or personal philosophies, or follow me on Twitter.

I love it!

Hmm I wonder if they intentionally made it look like a Ps3 controller, in a way to get back at Sony for basically ripping off Nintendo's Wii mote design for the Move controllers.

Yeah, the side by side analogs is weird. I tried playing Killzone. Couldn't do it. I think i just need practice though.

Had this controller for a while now. It's amazing For Brawl. given that you toy with the button config a bit.

It's been available in Europe for ages. It was great for playing Muramasa and I use it for my VC games.

Nahhh, just the dog snoring!
It's coming today, though.

I bought the Nyko add-on a year and a half or so ago. So basically Nintendo is ripping off the 3rd party peripheral companies and/or sueing them (can we say wireless nunchuk?) and coming out with the same thing WAY later in the game(pun intended).

Just waiting for my monster hunter/classic controller pro bundle to arrive in the mail.

I think I have more Wii accessories than I have games at this point. Seriously, another controller?

Unless they make games that use this controller that really don't work with the wiimote

I love the new controller. To bad I don't play my Wii enough to justify a purchase.

What i dont get is why they dont just sell a white GC controller with the Wii logo. GC controllers have a large market and they are becoming harder and harder to find.

I bet you like your PS3, and have no problem with its side-by-side analog sticks. That said I'm sure it works well, but it is another thing to buy and take up space. But if Nintendo is going to use this to move away from all motion controls more power to them.

Can you still not play Gamecube games with this controller, or is it VC, WW, and Wii games only?
