SNES-Inspired Wii U Gamepad Coming

Australian games retailer EB Games has listed a new variant of the Wii U Pro Controller on its site. This ‘SNES Version’ of the Pro Controller essentially looks like it has the iconic Super Nintendo controller embedded beneath the dual analogue sticks.

It’s a great concept, but be warned - it’s not coming from Nintendo itself. This is third party, people, and we know very little about it, so you may want to check out the build quality before pre-ordering one. EB has the controller listed for AUD $48 (USD $49), which is about $30 less than the estimated price for the real Pro Controller.

It's down for release on November 30 – the same date the Wii U goes on sale in Australia. No word yet on whether other retailers will also be stocking it.

Thanks to freelancer Tim Biggs for the tip.
