More PDP GameCube-Style Wired Fight Pads Pay Homage to Donkey Kong, Link, Samus and Wario

Yay! I'll get one of the instead of the adapter.

Oooooo

Gawrsh.....

Here comes the "ProController4Life" comments.

I don't trust PDP very much. I got a microswitched fightpad from them and it was garbage.

Never had anything rubbish from Hori. (So I will go with them first).

@SockoMario Except for the fact that I'm too cheap to buy a Pro Controller, since it doesn't work with Wii software, too. That's why I'm getting one of these. BECAUSE IT WORKS WITH THINGS THAT AREN'T SMASH BROS.

Ooooh, I want the Samus one! I also like the Yoshi design of the original batch.

@Smitherenez They all look pretty badass.

Dang it. They had to make a Zelda one, didn't they. I will buy anything with the Hylian symbol.

Man, I hope they do a Fire Emblem one!

Sadly still no Captain Falcon... would love to have a blue one.

Man, I want them all (except the Samus one) :/ Why they gotta do dis, yo?

I have a Pelican aka PDP GC controller and isn't that great for smash, I think these are the same as the GC ones.

@polivar4 Jep, they do! But these do have my preference! And I do not have the money for all of them.

They look pretty nice, has anyone confirmed if they'll be selling them in local stores like EB Games or Best Buy? I can't buy stuff online, so it would be a shame if I can't buy these.

I almost bought a Yoshi one to complement my trusty old Club Nintendo Mario controller for NGC...but this changes everything haha
DK is one of my least favorite fighters but that controller is probably my favorite of the bunch! If I could I would buy them all ...Amiibo and a broken Wii U are not helping.

I just have a feeling these won't be stocked as much as the well known Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi varieties. lol and I thought this Holiday would be cheap with just Bayonetta, Pokemon and Smash...
Wouldn't it be nice to get one of those controllers bundled with some Amiibo, a branded GamePad and a black 32GB (or higher preferably) Wii U? I would buy it in a heartbeat.
I accepted not getting a Hyrule Warriors or Bayonetta bundle but no Smash bundle? I doubt it. (praying for bundle and demo news tonight!)

Zelda and Metroid ones? OK OK YOU CAN HAVE MY MONEY NOW.

I didn't like the design for any of the original controllers, but that new Donkey Kong one has caught my eye...

Going to sell my mayflash adapter to get one of these things. Only question is which one am I gonna get. goes near Link's controller

My geee. I thought I'm going to get Mario only. Now I want that DK controller! It's... Beautiful...

Dang, that link one has caught my eye!

Anyone know the cable length for these things? Can I just lay my wiimote on the floor and plug this in to it fine? Or will I have the wiimote next to me and have an irritatingly short cable like a nunchuck?

@Smitherenez How much do they cost?

Wanna get at least one of these and one of the horis to compare and contrast. Prob two of each. Hey nintendolife, you think when they come out you can have a compare/contrast article?

Oh hey, they actually remembered Wario this time! Neat!

I hope this isn't a stupid comment, but will these actually work on the Gamecube, or are they only styled after the GCN controller?

I will absolutely get one of these controllers...if they feel/work right.

PDP, please do Mega Man, PAC-MAN and Sonic ones

I'm the biggest fan ever of Metroid, but that Samus controller is fugly.

For the life of me, I do not understand why they don't take a pad like this and make it a fully functional, wireless with rumble built in Wii U Pro controller. By Making it a Wii classic controller, it is getting needlessly nerfed, no built in rumble, not wireless, and the L and R triggers are both switched with what you'd expect them to be if you compared it to a standard GC controller (not a big deal in smash as you can customize controls). Beyond that, since they chose to go the wii classic controller route, its really unfortunate to see they've embraced the digital triggers despite the fact that the original classic controllers (not the classic controller pros) had analog triggers. I really do want to like these controllers, but they aren't even close to living up to their potential.

OH BOY! The Wario controller! Do you think they'll have scratch 'n' sniff, too?

Wow these look awesome!

Samus one is nice. The tacky orange gives off the feel of my old ugly GC controller that I still love.

That's it. There was no reason to buy these before, and now there is. Just guess which on I'll have my hands on.

Wario, Wario, Wario!!!!

Gonna grab that Samus controller!

@Caryslan
I am with you! They will have my money if they make one.

Give me the Donkey Kong

I NEED THE DK AND WARIO ONES!!! Maybe Samus' too.

8 player smash changes everything. There's a rumor that on the Nintendo website it says 2 adapters = 8 GC controllers but if the Wii U can't handle that then Hori and PDP suddenly have a market.

Edit: Scratch that. It is on the official website. But still if you want a wireless GC controller and wavebirds are expensive, this isn't a bad compromise.

Mmmm, those DK and Samus controllers look mighty tasty

The Samus one shall be mine!

These are awesome, and way smarter than the Gamecube adapter, but I really wish they'd do these in WiiU Pro controllers which right now only come in black or white stupidly...

Been thinking of getting one of these since the normal Gamecube controllers won't work for anything else. Was aiming for the Yoshi one, but the red on the Mario one looks nice.
I would love a blue Fire Emblem themed one though.

That Donkey Kong design is wonderful. I don't recall ever seeing a brown controller in all my days.

Why wario though lol

Hmmmm ...
_{I don't know why i didn't think of that before, but} if i transfer my Wii stuff to the U i won't be able to play the VC's N64 games with any GC controller anymore, right?

I'll hold onto my wavebird. Why can't they make new wavebirds?

Link: Too much green, very ugly green. I don't like it.
Samus: Too much orange, not a lot of other colors. I don't like it
Wario: Too much yellow, needs more purple on top. I... like the idea of a Wario controller.
DK: Now, that's a very good combination of colors. The brown and beige combo with a hint of red. The sticks and D-pad with a very nice color, unlike the other ones in black. So generic. The Link one has them in grey but with that green... it just doesn't work. DK was the onw who nailed it.

Wario just cause i love wario

I would buy one if it replaces the Wii U pro controller. The thing is... I don't want to connect my controllers to a Wiimote and I see little worth in a controller that doesn't work with most Wii U games. My wallet is begging for someone to do it right.

We'll be swimming in Gamecube and GC style controllers by Christmas.

Don't know if I'll be able to afford them all but I'll want the black Smash Bros. pad (and possibly the white one Japan's getting too), the Luigi Hori pad and the DK pad up there.

...but my Wavebird will probably still be my favourite!

Both of my gamestops have these early and I picked up the mario one. Yes the triggers are analogue and you should really pick one up.

I want a Star Fox pad.

...Pardon my skepticism, but these look kinda cheap... All they did was change the button colors and stuff and put a sticker at the top of the controller. At least add some extra aesthetics in the design, and some of the colors don't even match the shade of the characters'...

Man I just got the Yoshi one. I love the colors! I need that Samas one too though!

I was able to test one out at the Gamestop on the mall I work at and have to say the build quality is actually really nice. Solid construction and doesn't feel cheap. However, the left analog stick is taller than I'm used to and doesn't feel comfortable for me. Not sure what I'm going to do now as I'm not sure if the Hori pads have the same problem and I can't easily buy one and return it if I don't like it.

But where do we buy them is the question?

Wow I want the Link one :0 amazing gamecube controllers

@Shiryu same!
