Official Wii Gamecube Controllers
Check out these awesome new official Gamecube controllers for Wii. They are White like the Wee and they have 10' cords. I hope these come to the US!

Edit: I don't see options for images anymore? I tried img tags and they did not work.

They are new and they rock because of the extra-long cords. Gamecube cords were always too short. These need to hit the US!!!

Yea, but I don't wanna pay $10.50 shipping.
Edit: and this is per controller. I was gonna buy 4 controllers but not when the shipping came out to $40.
Man I hope these hit the US!!!

I remember seeing white Gamecube controllers a few weeks ago that had Wiimote-looking buttons as well, instead of the green/red/yellow Gamecube ones.
They looked incredibly slick.

Where did you see that? That would be cool. Do you have a link?

Dude, how many times do I have to point out that these controllers are not the same. They have 10' cables. That is like 3 or 4 feet longer than the originals.
You do realize this is worth scrapping your old cube controllers alone?
It's a huge improvement especially for Mario Kart/Smash Brothers parties!
Here is a pic to show what I mean. And this is with the cord folded in half. You are seriously getting an extra 3 or 4 feet with this thing.

Why are the img tags turned off? When did this change I used them all the time before on this forum?

Not worth it. Why would you need such long cords anyway? Sit closer to the TV, or bring the Wii closer to you. It has longish cords for a reason, too.
IMG tags don't work in the forum "Nintendo Wii Chat".

I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I can never play my gamecube games very easily because of the way my room is set up.
Although, I would like to wait and see if they'll release it in the U.S. because of the price. Awesome find!

The real questions are: Will this get released in the UK and USA? and When?

Even though they have a little Japanese flag next to them, they're compatible with NTSC-U Wiis/GameCubes, right?
EDIT: Nevermind, I see that it confirms that on their website.
