White GameCube controllers in North America?

[DracIsBack]

In Japan, Nintendo released Wii colored GameCube controllers for folks who want to use GC controllers on games like Smash Bros and Mario Kart Wii.

 

Any news on if they're heading to market in North America?

They've released a bunch of different color Gamecube controllers and wavebirds in Japan, though most of them are limited edition specials like the Gundam and Hello Kitty stuff. It doesn't surprise me that they have white controllers available since they still support a huge Gamecube following there. I doubt they'll ever come here officially, so if you want one you'll have to go through an importer like ncsxshop.com.

 

Personally, I'm saving up for one of these.

I purchased the "Wii White" GC controller from NCSX (an excellent store with outstanding customer service). Not sure I will ever use it because I'm hooked on my Wave Bird. But its nice having a GC controller that matches the look and color of the Wii.
