Third Party Wii U Pro Controller Gives Nod to the SNES
I think you’re about to see the first item on your list to St. Nick. This is obviously made for the Nintendo diehards that grew up on, arguably, the greatest console of all time and I’m sure it will sell because of that.
IGN spotted that EB Games, a retailer in Australia, has listed a new Wii U Pro Controller that takes the Snes pad design and slaps it beneath the analogue sticks. Boom! Instant sales. This isn’t coming from Nintendo themselves, though. The asking price ($48/approx. £30) is much lower than that of the official Nintendo one, but nothing is known of the quality.
This hasn’t been spotted on any other retailers’ sites, but Australians can pre-order it and get it on Wii U launch day.
It may be pandering, but I can’t help if I think it’s pretty cool.

How's things? I'm the video guy and would love if you'd watch the things I do like Debatable and For Your Amusement. I spend the majority of my days explaining why The Wire is the greatest TV show ever and clamouring for a Pop-Punk revival(c. 1994) whilst singing in my best Axl Rose-esque voice. Do not say professional wrestling is “fake” around me or, he’ll bore you with, what I like to call, “the risks they take”. Henrik Larsson is my hero.

Oh...and it's pronounced, "Cull-um".
