If I remember correctly, weren't different color variations of the Wii ALSO behind glass cases once at an event?

Just because it's on display, doesn't mean it's something Nintendo will actually do
(or, in this case, should)

Frickin Ole' Nintendo up to its annoying age old strategy of oh wait that is just dumb advertising. Lets hope with all these amazing(yawn) announcement they have been dropping lately that another Eternal Darkness type release was simply passed over.

It sucks the Big N is going with this classic pro controller over forking over some real cash and sticking with something along the line of a GameCube type controller.

You do realize that you can just buy a GameCube controller, right?

And you can't play Super Mario World with a GameCube controller. Or do you have mutant hands?

Nice to know you actually made your way over to the Nintendo booth. How about reporting on some of those games?

Especially Monado: Beginning of the World. I can't find any information on it past a video. I want to know who developed this game!

It's developed by Monolith Soft. But yeah, I want to see more on that too.

Ummm... no. This isn't "pro".

A Classic Controller "Pro" wouldn't still connect to the fraking Wiimote. It would work all by it's lonesome, but Nintendo want to continue to torture those of us without pockets evidently.

Would be nice if this thing was Wireless

So it's the Classic Controller with grippy "wings"?

I don't really see the point of releasing this as a separate product; just replace the Classic Controller with this one. Heck, make the extra grip a detachable unit and you're done. (Third party plastic add-on bit, anyone?)

The cord is coming from the top of the remote rather than the awkward bottom spot on the current controllers. I agree with Edge though. Nintendo needs to make a controller that doesn't need to connect to the wii remote. It's not like you need to point something at the screen to select stuff. And more games using a controller like that would be nice. The wii remote sometimes just feels forced in a game.

Perhaps we are looking at the Platinum reward for Nintendo Club Members.

"Nintendo didn't actually make any announcements about a North American release for the upgraded controller, but then it didn't make any announcements about a bunch of games that are coming out either." -- JC Fletcher

Dead Space: Extraction, Metroid: Other M, The Conduit, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, WarioWare: DIY, Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again, Golden Sun DS...these don't count as "announcements about a bunch of games that are coming out?"

Perhaps I misread your point in the article, JC...but...I believe those, amongst all the others, constitute a "bunch"...

I think he meant that there are several games which we know are coming out that were not mentioned in the press conference, not that Nintendo didn't announce any games.

I thought it was just an attachment. It would make sense to utilize that release button already present on the classic controller.
