Nintendo Will Re-Release White GameCube Controller

Filed under Gaming
Nintendo is planning to re-release the white GameCube controller in Japan this month for a grand total of 2,000 Yen (about $20 USD). Some changes to the controller include a longer cord (three meters now). This is great news for Japanese Wii fans who can use the controller for playing some of the GameCube games available through the Virtual Console.
No word yet as to whether or not Nintendo will be re-releasing the controller elsewhere, though with luck it will be just a matter of time before they do.
