A new controller has appeared on Nintendo’s official Japanese website. It’s called the “Classic Controller Pro” and it looks like a cross between a GameCube Controller and a Classic Controller. The ZL and ZR buttons have been moved and resized, the control sticks are spaced a bit farther apart, the cord comes out of the top instead of the bottom, it appears to be thicker than the Classic Controller (perhaps for rumble support?), and there’s a GameCube-style grip on each side.
Some are speculating that the new controller could be used to play GameCube games, but no such announcement has been made. There are very few details on the site, other than the fact that it will be released some time this year.
