Grab a Blue Classic Controller with Sonic Colours Down Under

It's not a classic controller pro? Well I guess it's cheaper.

That looks nice I want it.

What is the extra button?

I have no idea. I'll ask Sega!

I like having everything being white to match my Wii, but a blue Sonic old-school classic controller is so sexy. If it comes to the US, I might just have to get it.

Nice! If this comes to America, I 'll pick up the Special Edition.

Actually, the extra button does kinda look like it says TURBO underneath.

Cool looking pad.

That's weird. I didn't think they made the non-pro classic controller anymore.

That Classic Controller looks sweet.

It does but.. I bet they also could've added a download ticket for sonic the hedgehog 1,2,3 or 4

"Will this tempt you to grab Sonic's upcoming Wii adventure?"
Nope.

@9 I feel the same way about the Classic Controller. Besides, my hands are small.

This makes me so jealous. Lol. I'd love to have a blue classic controller that said Sonic on it.

Man, I wish that color was available for ALL Wii controllers... lucky onion bloomers =P

Obviously the extra button enables blast processing.

nice but i won't get it unless it's pro

Man, that controller looks pretty awesome, especially due to the fact that you can't even find a regular CC in stores anymore, they were all replaced by the Pro once it released. I must say, if this makes it over to the US, I might just have to pick it up, despite not being a Sonic fan. Glad to see that this one is cheaper than the GoldenEye bundle, whose price point I wasn't fond of. (Paying full price for the controller, just for a gold coat of paint? No, thanks.)

Also, I agree with the "down with handles" group...

I have the original and Super Famicom classic controllers, I would most likely buy this one too, hopefully comes to Europe. As a fan of the originals I'll be getting the game anyway (heres hoping its good).

The 'pro' just didn't appeal to me either btw...

Now, just asking, how much would this be in american dollars? This must be a euro site or something >.>

They even spell colors "Colours" lol

@VGC: Nintendo Life is indeed a UK-based site, and the official EU/PAL release of this game is in fact titled "Sonic Colours" as shown in the image.

That is a nice looking controller. Throwing in some figures is a good addition too!

Why did they go with the original CC instead of the Pro? Reason not to get this.

I like the CC Pro with proper Wii games, but I use the original CC for my SNES games. Still, if it does come to the UK I'll pass, since I simply don't have the money.

/student budget

I wish Nintendo would make a Wii that color...

I'm not sure its genuine. A simple spot the difference game:

Wii logo is missing on Sonic one and that extra button.

And yes there are cloned classic controllers about (look perfect as they're probably made with the same mold and plastics but there is no quality control hence a rock-bottom price so they have weird bugs like not working with VC games or stiff buttons) you can even get them to match Red, Blue, pink and black remotes (it doesn't take much to follow this logic to a conclusion). They usually skip printing the Wii logo as well.

Edit: Reading up a bit more on these things the extra buttons are usually turbo and slow (remember the days when they relevant...)

You lucky Australians...(and New Zealanders?)

That is cool hey I notice something going on with speical color classic controllers hmm maybe they make a speical mario classic controller.

wats got into nintendo australia have they relised that we dont like getting games 4 months after everyone else, and now they are making it up to us?

Im diggin the controller but im not much of a sonic fan...

jack0 You might be right.

I hope Sega releases it in the UK....

Please bring this bad boy over to the us!

Very cool. Good for you, Aussies! As much as I want this game, I probably wouldn't pick up the Special Edition. Not enough scratch.

You Aussies get this cool bundle, and we get a crappy Sonic hat when we pre-order.

Hmm blue CC is tempting. I want the Gold one more though but its much more expensive but it comes with a game I want more than this. I can't decide! In the end I'll end buying both controllers off eBay.

down w. CC pro they suk

I don't think it looks that good. A bit too plain.

very cool - might tempt me to buy the game as long as it gets good reviews. Sega sure do love their peripherals seeing as All Stars Racing had the blue Wii Wheel

OMG, I have TOO many Collectors Editions to pick up in the next few months. Sorry sonic, your gunna have to sit this one out D:

I'm confused!!! Is it "Colours" or "Colors?"

I'm so jealous right now, I want all that. Offer that in the states and I will preorder fo sho.

@deegan: Both

@44 Colours in EU, Colors in America.

I could get this from JB Hi-Fi or, I could get the Sonic Hat from EB Games.

OR, I could not get the game.

Hmmm not sure. Let's see how the game turns out first.

COOL and i must admit i 2 do like the original cc better and ive never bought any sonic games but i will definatly buy this because i dont really dislike sonic. i like the figureens that come with it thats pritty cool i hope its not all just a rumour

i will definatly buy this first the red wii comes to australia finnally now this its GREAT

_ I wish I could have this really cool looking blue classic controller.

I'm getting this!
Besides, my Gamecube controller went bust, and to Controller Heaven!
Now I can play Mario Kart 64 properly!

The old classic controller's analog sticks are too close together, and made it a huge pain to play Geometry Wars. Everything else about it is fine, but the Pro is just more functional, so I'll be skipping this.

Hmm, might have to change Super Scribblenauts christmas to Sonic Colours christmas...

I prefer the classic controller pro because the separation between analog sticks.
