Wii U SNES-style controller

Posted on October 16th, 2012. By Rob Jones.

When old and new collide

Check out the beautiful monstrosity below, it's called the Wii U Controller - SNES version. Listed by Australian retailer EB Games at $48.00 AUD, this accessory is coming out on November 30th to coincide with the Wii U console launch.

The cheap price indicates that this isn't an official Nintendo product, but a third party effort. The real Wii U Pro controller will go for around $78 in Australia.

What do you think? My own take is that it looks awesome.

It's actually pretty much the same as the Wii U Pro controller. I'm with @PHiRE though, I'm not convinced that will be comfortable for long game sessions.
