Not happy with your Classic Controller for the Wii? Too classic, maybe?
Here's a solution: the Classic Controller PRO. Revealed on Nintendo's Japanese Wii accessory Web site, the controller looks like a bulkier, fancier version of the standard Classic Controller. The controller also adds a second row of shoulder buttons, similar to the now-familiar DualShock set-up.
No details on pricing or release for North America, but it should ship to Japanese stores this Summer. Also unknown is why Nintendo feels the need to release an upgraded classic controller when current Virtual Console and WiiWare games don't particularly call for it. What does Nintendo have up its sleeve?

*this was a comment from bizarro world*
Not quite as snappy a name I suppose.
...What do you mean, "this isn't for the Gamecube?"
Oh man I forgot about those. Now I can play 1080 again, before the Z buttons were a huge hassle.
@ thouch: Really? I like it but the plain old Wii controller on it's side is my favorite.
@Artimecion: You mean like a Wavebird? Yeah, I feel the same way.....
Amen.
Also, why is this thing so thick looking? It looks like the albino cousin of the Duke Xbox Controller.
*Sigh* And for all the people saying they just copied the Playstation layout... didnt Playstation pretty much copy/paste the original SNES layout with the original PSX controllers?
Until I saw the second row of shoulders, I was going to muse that Nintendo stole the wing idea from...whoever it was that made the snap-on that had the wings and you could wrap the cord around part of it...yeah.
so...it's a gamecube controller?
It's prettier :)
Yes, Sony pretty much did copy the snes controller, and that's what I find funny. In a kind of ironic sort of way.
Seriously though, what is the point? It's a Playstation 2 controller now.
