PDP is releasing new Nintendo character-themed controllers for Wii U which resemble those used with GameCube. While Mario, Yoshi, Princess Peach and Luigi controllers are already available, you can now pre-order controllers based on Donkey Kong, Link, Samus and Wario. The “Wired Fight Pad” controllers plugs into the Wii Remote and work with any game on both Wii and Wii U which supports the Classic Controller or the Classic Controller Pro. Unlike Nintendo’s GameCube controllers, PDP’s version will work with Wii U without needing a special adapter, which only works with Super Smash Bros. anyway. Link, Samus and Wario are listed for a March 2015 release, while the Donkey Kong-themed controller has a December 31 release next to it. Source Gamespot.
