Nintendo reveals Classic Controller Pro

Why is it I have a nice fancy Wii, and yet I choose to play my SNES frequently?

oh wow.

I totally forgot about that being an option.

Thees.

Well, I see no use of this.

someone didn't read the thread

I like how its the same as the gamecube controller (with the turbo button) but its suddenly a rip off of ps2 controllers.

By the way, PS2 controllers were ****.

... I see nothing wrong with it.

You guys complain too much.

I don't see what you guys are complaining about.

If there's nothing wrong with it, then why are you complaining?

It looks pretty comfortable.

All it really added was 2 Shoulder Buttons AFAIK.

Hey.

HEY.



Different controller shape.

And how is that bad?

Also, I love this quote:

It's a controller. How the hell does it attempt to "appeal to the hardcore audience"?

Actually, the same amount of buttons they just moved the ZR and ZL

:X

It's not, it's just barely an improvement. And looking at ZeldaFreak's Post, I was wrong, it's just the same amount of Buttons, with 2 of them moved. There's also a different shape.

they're giving it those side grip things like the controllers used on the other systems possibly thinking it will grab their attention?

I can see no other reason they'd bother to do something like this.

What's even more baffling is how few games they have that actually use the Classic Controller in the first place (Virtual Console aside).

Typical response from MFGGers when Nintendo tries something new

changing a controller design is new?

I thought it was because the old controller had copyright issues with Analscape or whatever it was, so they made a new controller that didn't have those. Given GCN controllers apparently aren't sold anymore either from what I heard, it makes sense to make it a bit more like the PS2/GCN style to make up for that. That's just speculation, though, maybe they just wanted to make a different controller, or maybe they looked back at the old one and went "you know, it probably would of been better like this", like they did with the DS when they made the DS Lite.

So you can hold it better?

also one of the first things I noticed when I picked up my 360 controller was how comfortable it was to hold after 2 years of Wii Remote gaming

I liked Nintendo all the better for not having those.

Just LOOKING at the grips at a Wal Mart or something scares the **** out of me.

Disgusting

What part of the old controller needed to be removed due to copyright reasons again? Because from what I can tell, they both look exactly the same besides the shoulder handles and moved second triggers. And I already like how the other feels in my hands. As for the DS Lite part, this feels more like they're changing something already "Lite" into "Phat" or whatever the old DS was called (also I never bought a DS lite).

To be nice though, I'll admit that this isn't too big a deal. And even though I find it unnecessary I'm under the impression that this didn't take as much time to come up with then something like a new DS.

Before anyone thinks it I'm actually neutral about the DSi. Waiting to see what exclusives come out before judging that.
