We’ve heard that a number of retailers are discounting the white Wii U Pro Controller presumably because Nintendo are looking to phase out the white 8GB Wii U basic package. Now US retail chain Best Buy have the white Wii U Pro Controller on clearance for $24.99. Unfortunately most of the stores have now sold out of their limited inventory. However, the black Wii U Pro Controller is still $49.99 at stores nationwide.
Thanks, Mickey
first!!
:O
The color of the controller has nothing to do with the console sku… wtf.
Let no controller to be subjugated by the color of their plastics.
lolz
The white one is just not as good ;)
Would be cool if there would be lots different WiiU pro controller colors, silver would be badass.
Agreed, silver is the one…
I would also like a Black one with glowing purple lights…
Talking like this…
Only makes you sound less intelligent…
And I should listen to an erection why?…
You should always listen to a erection.
You dont even own a Wii U. Save it.
I really wish they’d bring back the multiple colored systems. It’s really boring just having white and black. Remember how many N64 colors there were?
People just makes real dumb assumptions. I bough the collector edition halo 3 controller with master chief figure for 27.99$ and a wired controller for 15$ it must have been cuz the 360 was being stop being produced.
“Halo”, “Master Chief” “360”, “edition”
Xbot language!
Dude that was 7 years ago. Can’t a Guy redem himself?
Good good…
Nearly had a circuits attack…
hot dang, Imma but all of em’ that I can!
Black Pro Controller is about £25 at Amazon UK, white one £50. So…
Because they have to import it. Combine this with the several rumors that the white wii u will be phased out and the upcoming Zelda Bundles, it makes sense.
Me likey

I thought you could now get a deluxe in either black or white now? So wouldn’t people want a white controller to match?
Meanwhile, Amazon Germany and France have never even listed the white pro controller…
I want that white controller:(
Lol. It says $22.99 in the picture. WHOs getting them extra $2? ;)
They’re removing the basic console to introduce one without a gamepad for 199.
Omg racist
black supremacy?
When will the white deluxe bundle come to America??? Maybe that could change things.
Didn’t even realise there was a white one! Thought it was just black.
Haven’t actually tried a Wii U Pro Controller, so I’m not sure if getting one is a good idea or not, even though most stores seem like they sold out. :/
Bullshit.
I live in Germany and always wanted to use the white one. But Amazon.de isn’t listing it!
What’s the point of this controller? Isn’t the Wii U’s biggest feature it’s new special controller w/ the screen?
Yes it is, the Wii U GamePad is the main feature of the console, but there are some people that don’t like to have the GamePad funtionalities all the time, that’s why Nintendo made this Pro Controller.
That’s not to mention multiplayer.
They still need to fix the one flaw with this controller before I buy one — give it analogue triggers. Seriously, that kills 3rd party support for games like Saint’s Row, GTA, many racing games, and much more. It also makes Gamecube Virtual Console games like Super Mario Sunshine impossible to play as well.
I might have to pick up a few of these before my Zelda Wii U even ships. $50 dollars for a controller is atrocious! I won’t let this opportunity pass.
the fucking 8gb model should have never existed. Nintendo, sometimes you wonder what the fuck it’s thinking.
There was nothing wrong with the 8GB model. Foe people like me who doesn’t care about downloading stuff, it’s perfectly ok.
Yeah, they WOULD do this. Since the white one is the one I would have bought if I had the Wii U. Nintendo seems to be doing everything to piss me off. I don’t think I was meant to own a Wii U.
Yeah, screw all the people that have the Basic Set, or that prefer white consoles. Seriously, Nintendo.
