Another GameCube controller-shaped Classic Controller exists on the market, the Hori Battle Pad, which is much closer to the GameCube controller than the PDP Fight Pad. Owing to its design and release date, some players presume that it is targeted primarily towards Smash Bros. However, its technical workings are just like any other Classic Controller and as such it connects to the console wirelessly by plugging into the Wii Remote. However, the controller is fully compatible with Brawl, and is considered superior to its original counterpart by competitive players.ģrd party controller manufacturer PDP, with official licensing from Nintendo, released a "Wired Fight Pad" controller in November 2014, a Classic Controller whose control layout has been redesigned to strongly emulate the look and feel of a GameCube controller. As it was released after Brawl, the game makes no reference to the new model all images show the original Classic Controller. In 2009, Nintendo released a revision of the Classic Controller named the Classic Controller Pro, with a new wing grip design and the Z L and Z R buttons relocated behind the L and R buttons as secondary shoulder buttons, in the vein of the Z button on the GameCube controller. It was released primarily for use with Super Smash Bros. Its layout matches the layout of a GameCube controller. The Hori Battle Pad is an officially licensed third-party Classic Controller.
