Hey, you know that $70 GoldenEye Wii controller that GameStop listed (and then pulled) awhile back? What a stupid idea! What fool would pay $70 for a controller?
When I asked you folks, it turned out not many (if any) of you would. Now, a Toys"R"Us listing makes things a little be more clear, and confirms what I had originally thought -- we're talking $70 for the controller and the upcoming Wii game, GoldenEye. The retailer is currently listing the bundle -- "GoldenEye 007 with Classic Controller Pro for Nintendo Wii." No images, but we have a pretty good idea of what to expect (shown above), based on leaked marketing/survey material we'd seen awhile back.
So now that you have a better idea of what your $70 gets you, I ask again: want or do not want?
GoldenEye controller listing pops up again, makes much more sense now [GoNintendo]

no use? i've been using mine constantly. between megaman 9/10, cave story, tats v capcom, i probably have used my classic control more than my wiimote this year.
back on topic, since i have the original classic controller and am more than likely going to buy goldeneye, i'll definitely keep an eye out for this bundle. $70 is a little steep for a wii game plus controller, though. especially when i won't be using the controller with the packed in game. why you'd play a shooter on the wii with dual sticks is beyond me.
Monster Hunter Tri came bundled with a classic controller pro for $59. Is this one just more because its a gold color ?
Anyway, why would you want to play with dual analog ? The Wii remote's IR is faster and more precise.
As for this...it IS shiny...and I dont own a classic controller yet (I also have the Club Nintendo SNES pad for VC goodness).
Am I missing something? (Besides "Activision!", I mean.)
givin' up the hobby then, eh?
Resident Evil GameCube = Remake
Golden Eye 007 Wii = reimagining
Have you played Goldeneye on the N64 recently? Compared to the times now, the controls are fucking horrible. Stick with the dual analogs.
I want, I mean need, the Classic Controller Pro.
So, count me in!
Also, gold! =)
But either way, I'm still getting the game.
