The Classic Controller Pro was introduced as an enhanced version of the original Classic Controller. When the Nintendo Wii was released in 2006, it revolutionized gaming with its motion controls.

Released in 2009, the Classic Controller Pro offered improved grip and additional shoulder buttons, making it a Fantastic choice for retro gaming enthusiasts!

Why is the Classic Controller Pro an improvement?
The hand grips of the Classic Controller Pro make it easier to play than its predecessor. The controller feels comfortable in your hands. The ZL and ZR buttons are now the L or R button. The L and R buttons and the sticks are placed further apart, making it even smoother. Another advantage: You connect the cable to a Wii remote. It's a shame it's not wireless, but the Wii remote is wireless, so in a way, the Classic Controller Pro is indirectly wireless. So you can still sit far away.
What makes the button layout of the Classic Controller Pro so good?
The improved button layout and its greater user-friendliness make the Classic Controller Pro essential.
Which games can the Classic Controller Pro be used with?
The Classic Controller Pro can be used with many classic games (hence the name Classic Controller) available for download in the Wii Shop Channel. It's also great to use it with FIFA. Because if you accidentally swing the Wii remote, you might shoot the ball away. This cannot happen with the CCP. Or with Mario Kart Wii, when you're short on Wii remotes. But of course, also if you want to use the CCP. There are quite a few games available to use with the CCP.
