Chrono Reaper Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 So yeah, if you havent heard Nintendo has released the Classic controller Pro for the Nintendo Wii in america a month or so ago. Its the successor of the godawful design of the original classic controller of the SNES redux and added grip handles at the end and relocated the secondary Z1 and Z2 Shoulder buttons down below the L and R buttons. Some of you might think its a waste of money, but I gave it a try anyways, immediately played some Star Fox 64 and I must say the response time is much better, at least for me anyway.

Star Fox Runner Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I just use the Gamecube controller to play N64 games, but the regular classic controller works just fine for me with SNES and Genesis games, so I'm saving my money on this one, because I honestly don't need it.

ndf Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Glad I held out. I'll buy a pro when I start playing Super Metroid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kursed Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I could use a second classic controller anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 About time! I didn't buy a classic controller simply because it seemed completely unusable for gaming, all style and no functionality. The GameCube controller still seems better judging by these pictures, but I heard there are some games which won't accept the GC controller. In which case, I will have to buy the Pro.

Thanks for sharing that, dude!Glad I held out. I'll buy a pro when I start playing Super Metroid.^ Me too.About time!

I'm gettin' one, if I ever get a Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slows down my response time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticQuery Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hehe, anyone reminded of the Dualshock 2?The exact same button configuration. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hehe, anyone reminded of the Dualshock 2?The exact same button configuration. Because that layout was stolen from the SNES, and the symbols are from the mario wizard. All from the old Sony-Nintendo partnership that went sour.

CrypticQuery Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 ^ It is technically debatable whether the overall design was taken from the SNES. Just to be for a second, I wonder how the SNES CD would've turned out :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
