Although Wii U GamePads will not be sold as standalone products in North American retailers, consumers can purchase a Wii U Pro Controller for $49.99 as it will not be included in any of the two Wii U bundles. The Wii U Pro Controller will launch alongside the Wii U console in North America on November 18th.
ME Gusta
convenient , i have $49.99 hanging out of my ass .
You poop out money? That’s… crazy! :p
I do actually, now that you bring it up
lol , patcher has turned into a nintendo fanboy , maybe we can use patcher to destroy the flame wars ??
Maybe I can put out a fire with gasoline.
Genius.jpg
Like a pro.
Decent price. I will save up for that in the future.
sounds reasonable. i’ll just have to add this to my list lol. my wallet is going to hate me after all of this lol
I’m getting one, it appears to have a better grip than my old Classic controller.
Exactly what I expected. I’ll buy one as soon as possible. Black of course. Leave luck to heaven.
Oh man already pre ordered the console + 2 pro controllers for my kids
and i’m looking forward for Bayonetta 2.
Together Wii U.
damn i need to remove that name
I don’t know if this has been answered yet, but will the Wii U Pro be backwards compatible with Wii titles that allow for the Classic Controller? I’d really like to play Xenoblade w/ this.
Hmm….i duno xD maybe, but doubtful
good quest tweet Rich from IGN as he will be talking to reggie later.
Think I’ll stick to my Classic Controller Pro for the time being. That’s a full retail game D:
Same price as the dualshock then, i think.
Good thin i get one free with my ZombiU bundle :p
JESUS CHRIST NO
uh…why? it’s cheaper than a 360 controller…….
Irrelevent.
Yes, you are.
not really… lol. it’s basically used for the same purpose, but is cheaper… i i dont really get the “HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF GOD THAT’S EXPENSIVE!?!?!?” when it’s cheaper than a similar controller.
The 360 controller is…balls, anyway. Yeah its comfortable but everything else with it is just wrong, shitty buttons, and that POS DPAD
Worst D-pad ever….hands down
Actually it is irrelevant. He probably has no interest in the 360, therefore he doesn’t have to deal with a 360 controller which run from $30-60 bucks. Its 38.99 on Amazon right now.
ugh. why do i have to explain simple concepts to people? when there is already a similar product out, that has been set at a price that most people have accepted, it’s irrational to get mad about the price of an almost identical controller being sold at a lower price. it’s not fucking rocket science, and yes it is 100% relevant.
Before I getting it, I need to know which games will support it.
get*
so far theres zombiu, rayman legends, new super mario bros, and call of duty off the top of my head.
Rayman, NSMBU, Darksiders 2, AC3, Black Ops 2, Mass Effect 3, Ninja Gaiden 3, probably most of them, but everything else will use the gamepad, or motion+ like pikmin 3.
Im getting one just for stuff like Rayman, Ninja Gaiden 3, NSMBU, just because i the gamepad isnt neccessary as much or i dont want to use a wiimote on its sidd
They should’ve bundled it, and called it The Gamers Pack Pro or something.
At GAME (UK), theyre doing a £350 Premium bundle with ZombiU and this controller, with is like £90-100 if i got them separately.
Cool cause I won’t get a Wii U until I can afford the Deluxe, This, Pikmin 3, Rayman, and Mario U. Along with a card for the shop.
But, you only have hooves

YEEEEAAAYUUHHHH!!!!!!
*Brohoof*
$50 ummm What does it have inside? Rumble? Motion? NFC? Its wireless or wired?
Wireless, and it looks like it has a cable. definitely Rumble, but I think the other two functions are only on remotes and gamepad.
Limited motion control would be pretty good, though.
What games use the wii u pro? and does it rumble? DOES THE WII U GAMEPAD RUMBLE?
Yes they do… its 2012…
Haha, remember Rumble Packs? XD
As far as I know, BO2 will being using the Wii U Pro (and WiiMote + Nunchuk, CCP, and the Gamepad). The Gamepad does in fact rumble.
I’d like to assume these come with the charger cable? Other $50 a little steep (not terrible).
I think I have an extra mini-USB cord, so I think I’m good either way.

I will buy this, after i buy the games I really want for me…. im not rich
Looks like I’ll be spending at least $500 this November. $350 for deluxe $50 for controller and FIFA 13 and zombie u or cod
Hell… along with the Wii U, I’m getting two Pro controllers!!!!
That’s reasonable. No complaints from me, but I’m pretty content with gamepad though. The only time I’ll switch to the pro controller is when I’m playin a gamecube game xD
Not to me, i’ll be using it in co-op games like Rayman, NSMBU, Black Ops 2, then with games like Ninja Gaiden 3, and of course when its released, Smash Bros :p
Same here. Plus so when someone wants to play with me I will be ready. In other words I want my body to be ready when I get a Wii U.
The 8th gen begins on the wii’s 6th birthday if sonysoft doesn’t come correct the u could finish them quickly
I’m loving what nintendo’s doing with the wii u. Reminds me of their glory days with the NES. It supports two of its revolutionary gamepads, has multiple other control options and is much more of an “entertainment system”, not just a video game system, than anything they’ve done before. Will be getting this.
I would rathe have this controller in the Deluxe Bundle than that digital promotion thing.
Rather*
That’s not too bad. People are only going to have two a maximum, anyway.
at*
Crap, I need some sleep.
They really need to bundle this…
If you dont want to spend 50 bucks on this controller, just wait thy will prob have special edition games where they include it in there, just like Goldeneye, Monster Hunter Tri, and Xenoblade.
I’m going to wait 50 bucks for a contoller is kinda expensive, I mean wii’s pro controller was 20 bucks, I did not expect the Wii U’s pro controller to be 20, more like 30 or possibly 40.
This has rumble lawl. The Wii Pro controller was more like an extension… It was so cheap because it was basically plastic… You needed a $50 controller to use it.
Yeah true, I didn’t think about rumble and wireless.
