PDP Partners with Nintendo to Release GameCube Controller-Inspired Pad for Wii U in Time for Smash Bros.

I every time spent my half an hour to read this website's articles daily along with a cup of coffee.

Please don't make the Joystick casing  a JAGGED HEXAGON!! this is dumb! and needs to stop! 

Also can you add a second trigger to the left side, pressure sensitive like the GameCube, a surface area on top of the "C" stick that's use able and like the main joystick, and click in joy sticks like every other modern joystick released in the last 10 years.

There it is perfect GC controller and replacement for the crappy over priced Pro controller!

Do this and I will personally buy 500 units! Ok that may not be true but I'll buy a lot and PDP will have done something better than Nintendo ever has with controllers in the last 10 years!

@87th It's pretty crazy how reliant I am on the Gamecube pad to be good at Smash Bros though

@87th I was thinking about getting that, but Smash 3DS will probably have forced out my Gamecube pad muscle memory by the time its on WiiU

letshugbro I'm still uncomfortable with the idea of playing Smash Bros on the 3DS, but I'll probably get it anyway.

Why show the Versus pad that PDP NEVER RELEASED for the Wii? That gives this less credibility that it'll ever come to fruition.

Cannot wait to see

@NicholasNWR @MyNintendoNews I just broke down and ordered two of these: raphnet-tech.com/products/gc_to… Their "SNES" mode looks PERFECT for SM3DW.

not to mention, confuse people... thinking "this" is what you're releasing soon... since they've never actually seen this product (because it doesn't exist)

joecascio2000 ChristopherKellett  that controller never actually came out, i've been trying to actually find one to buy since they announced it in 2011, i've never seen one in the wild, not on ebay, amazon, bestbuy, gamestop, google... nothing... it's a farce.

@Max  from what i've seen almost everything supports the wii classic controllers, IF it supports the Pro controller, but not necessarily the other way around (vWii)

NicholasNWR MyNintendoNews (and yes, that's with two Mayflash adapters... I guess I should look for used Nintendo GC controllers)

ChristopherKellett  That isn't it. That is called the Wii Versus Pad that came out in 2011. Do some research.

That picture isn't it, it says that's the one that the company made for the Wii

That isn't it, it clearly says "The controller they created for the Wii"

I'm pretty sure that that's not it.

@EricTaylorKID Now all they need to do is make a gold Wii U and I'm in! :)

@Speedymolasses @ladambell eh, I imagine the pro controller will be fine for me. never got used to smash on gc pad myself

Thank you based Nintendo.

i want the gcn version if and when it comes out

gunstargreen83 Speedymolasses And I of course will be using the Wii Remote/Nunchuk combo, because I am a crazy person. #notreally

@TheDCD I did post it silly! :-P

How about just release a gamecube clone..

I currently have a mayflash adapter that allows me to do that with an actual GC controller, but it may be an option for when GC controllers become harder to find.

My issue with this is that they will only work with games that support Wii classic controllers and not Wii U pro controllers, unless I am proven very wrong and they achieve an amazing technical feat. Also, it will consume a lot of batteries, and you need to plug it to a controller that no one wants. Finally, how about making it USB?

Thank you based Nintendo.

@showmeyournews @Joel_Patrol No D-Pad?

I was excited.. until I saw it -_- why aren't the "L" and "R" buttons the triggers as usual? Where's the C stick? Where's the Z button? I'm very disappointed if this is real :/

I don't know why that image is being used, but aside from it more closely resembling a Saturn controller, it doesn't even have Wii U branding. I'm quite certain this is not the final product... or even the product at all.

Pro Controller is still more consistent with the 3DS version's controls, but this is a nice option for the change-averse.

@PDPCandace How'd I miss it?! Ah well. Show it to me at E3? :D

@ZYC0R @showmeyournews @Joel_Patrol  The pic above is the PDP Versus Fighting Pad, we don't know what the Smash controller will look like apart from that it is inspired by the Gamecube controller.

That isn't it, it clearly says "The controller they created for the Wii"

I'm pretty sure that that's not it.

@TheDCD Yup.
