Japan gets white GameCube controllers
Love playing Smash Bros. with your GameCube controller, but hate how purple and white clash? Well if you happen to live in the land of the rising sun Nintendo is coming to the rescue!
While there’s no word on a North American release, don’t be surprised if you see these pop up on your favorite online import shop in the near future. They’ll be going for ¥2,000 when they’re released later this month, or about $19.50 to you and me. While the release date is pinned down for April, no specific date has been mentioned.

Now they need to make a white wireless controller with rumble and I would be set for life.
Why on earth aren’t they re-releasing the Wavebird?
Because RF was soooo 2002. It’s all about the Bluetooths now.
Wow that is sexier than I thought it might be…
Yes, and wired controllers are even older.
Gamecube controllers themselves are old news…it’s time to move on.
I was thinking about this the other day, it makes a lot of sense. I was torn between my black ‘Cube controller, and my pretty and slim Classic. The white GameCube controller is a nice marriage of the two.
I still say the Gamecube controller is the most comfortable controller ever.
