White GameCube controller released in Japan for GameCube-compatible Wii games
A Wii-esque white edition GameCube controller will be released by Nintendo in Japan for Wii games that offer GameCube controller compatibility. Considering that many big first- and third-party Wii games offer GameCube controller compatibility for more classic gameplay, this move comes as no surprise.
The GameCube controller re-release with a new white color will be out later in April 2008 at a price of 2,000 Yen (that’s $20 / £10 / €12.50 / AU$21.50) and comes with an extra long 3 meter (10 feet) cord. No word yet on whether or not the controller will be in stores elsewhere in the world. Personally I’d rather see a white wireless Wavebird GameCube controller re-released with rumble added.
