Wii Classic Controller Pro To Hit Stores in April [The Nintendo Wii Classic Controller Pro Adds Shoulder Buttons, A Touch Of Class]

Tweet

Nintendo has revealed a new version of the Wii Classic Controller, a slight upgrade over the previous version in both design and functionality.  The Nintendo Wii Classic Controller Pro features a new set of shoulder buttons and a sleek design available in either black or white.

The Nintendo Wii Classic Controller Pro adds a pair of shoulder buttons on the front side, as well as dual-shock inspired handles that extend from the bottom of the unit.  The added focus on ergonomics, console-standard buttons and the stylish black design make the leap from the bulky, playful controllers of nintendo’s past and streamlines them in a fashion similar to the Playstation Dual Shock controllers.

The Wii Classic Controller Pro will begin shipping in April for $20 in either black or white.  They’re also available in a bundle including the forthcoming title Monster Hunter Tri, which can also be purchased alone and used with the standard Wii Remote and Nunchuck.  Wait, if the new game works just fine with the Wiimote, why bundle it with a standard controller that’ll forego the fun of waving around the magic Wii wand?
