There's also the Classic Controller Pro. I think it's sold in Japan only so if you want one you'll probably have to import it.

The Nyko controller has a horrible d-pad, I suggest using a standard classic controller.

The classic controller pro will be coming to the states, was just recently released in Europe. We're usually a good ways behind Japan in getting new Nintendo hardware.

the pro looks sweet as hell i want that but i dont want to import one and pay like 50 bucks

The Wing controller stinks. It's very very cheap and plasticky feeling.

The Classic Controller Pro is an improvement on the original. You can see details in my blog below.

I got mine in a Game Trader store...it's a new place and I don't know if it's a franchise or what...it cost $35.

The Pro looks like it will be good. Don't forget Hori though. They got a Gamecube type pad out with the buttons well arranged. It still has the left analog up and the d-pad down with the right analog. Would be a boon for some games. Their arcade stick is good too.

nintendo should of released the pro worldwide

its a no brainer that it will sell so i dont see why nintendo are making us wait for

I saw a cool shell for the Wiimote at Gamestop the other day. I think it was about 10 bucks and it was called the Boss. Boss stands for Big Oversized Super Shell. The one I saw was Mario red, that probably had nothing to do with New Super Mario just coming out ;)

Gee I wonder if that's what I meant when I said "It's a SHELL for the WIIMOTE"?? :D

I'm thinking no.

Nintendo: Since we don't allow you to use the Classic Controller for most every Wii game released, how about we sell you another overpriced accessory?

I think Nintendo has surpassed the $599 price with how many controllers you need to buy to play each game comfortably.

The Hori Classic pad and fighter stick have rapid and auto switches for each button.

Nintendo has a little ways to go to best GH and RB in the controller hoard scenario... Not too much though.
