Monster Hunter Tri Bundled Wii Classic Controller Pro
While Nintendo’s strategy continues to push innovation and change, sometimes simple and classic hits the spot. Only available in Japan until now, Nintendo and Capcom have announced that a black Classic Controller Pro will come bundled with Monster Hunter Tri when it ships to retail in April.
The Classic Controller Pro has a second row of shoulder buttons and will be compatible with over 450 Wii, WiiWare, and Virtual Console titles.
“Monster Hunter Tri has made a huge splash in the Japanese market, and we’re confident the bundle with the Classic Controller Pro will give fans in North America plenty to get excited about,” said Steve Singer, Nintendo of America’s vice president of Licensing. “Gamers of all kinds enjoy playing games on Wii. Monster Hunter Tri delivers an incredible new experience on Wii, while the Classic Controller Pro gives players even more control options for their favorite Wii games.”
The bundle is slated to retail for $59.99. If you are looking snag Monster Hunter Tri by its lonesome it will set you back $49.99. Conversely, if the controller is the only thing that has caught your eye, white and black variations will be available for $19.99.
So what will it be? You plan on picking up the game, the controller, or the bundle? Or is it a pass on all three?
