Nintendo and accessory maker PDP are teaming up to bring people their preferred controller for Smash Bros.
Accessory maker Performance Designed Products has announced that they are partnering with Nintendo to create a new classic controller for the Wii U, inspired by the GameCube controller design.
This controller is designed to plug into a Wii Remote and can be used with both Wii and Wii U consoles. The pad will also feature Nintendo characters such as Mario, Yoshi and Princess Peach.
The controller will be available this holiday season for the estimated price of $24.99
I'm not sure I buy the lost Wavebird molds line. First, how does that even happen at a company as large as Nintendo? Second, even if it did, make another one.I think there was some copyright thing in 09 with the wavebird.
I preferred the remote and nunchuk controls in Brawl for whatever reason, so I'm not in a huge hurry to go out and get one of these, but it's nice that they're accommodating people who preferred that controller.One question on that scheme, why the hell isn't the d-pad automatically mapped to smash attacks.
