... Hori, the third-party video game accessory maker, will release its Wii Classic Controller on November 27. It resembles the old GameCube controller in size and shape, but the button layout mimics that of other Wii classic controllers, like that Nyko one. Those crazy switches in the middle control autofire, a relic of systems past. The $30 controller should work well with all those Virtual Console games Nintendo is nickel-and-diming you for. via OhGizmo!

... for the Wii. It's a strange amalgamation between the old and new, borrowing the iconic Wavebird formfactor while simultaneously swapping those ridiculous Wavebird controls for the more practical 4-button setup from the SNES/Classic Controller and a pair of dual analog sticks reminiscent of the Xbox 360. In other words, it looks chunky and fantastic. The $30 Hori Classic Controller will be available for import soon...but the baby blue finish is killing us. [Play-Asia via OhGizmo] ...
