"That's right, allegedly there will be a new GameCube controller, but it's probably not what you're thinking...

A Japanese company named Hori is planning to release a new GameCube controller, but you're probably thinking that there are already enough 3rd party controllers on the market, what's so special about this one?

Well, this one is a bit unique, in that it is emalgemation of the classic SNES controller and the GameCube controller.

Entitled the "Hori Digital Controller", it comes without any analog sticks, vibration compatability and features only digital inp. But what's the fun in that you say?

Well it'll sure come in handy for any games that only use digital input (no use of analog control) such as Nintendo's very own Nintendo Puzzle Collection. It could also be used in conjunction with the GameBoy Player to play classic Gameboy and Gameboy Advance games. Bearing in mind the vast amount of SNES ports to the GameBoy Advance console it may come in handy after all..."

Speaking of new controllers, a new Wavebird is being released soon. It'll run at 4.5 GHz, and have a longer playable distance and battery life. Still no rumble feature, though :(.

In this day and age, a pad without Analogue functions is fairly useless UNLESS they have adaptors with it making it compatible with the NES and SNES. However, I very much doubt it.
