PDP is going to release a Metal Mario 30th Anniversary Controller for the Nintendo Wii U, according to a listing from Amazon.co.uk. You can check out a pair of photo for the product below this paragraph.
The PDP Metal Mario 30th Anniversary Controller looks similar to the PDP Wired Fight Pads for Wii U, which you can check out with this page on Amazon. Both variations are officially licensed by Nintendo and are shaped similarly to the official Gamecube controller.
The upcoming controller is connected to the Wii U by using a Wii Remote. It is compatible with games that utilize the Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro, such as Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Select Virtual Console games are also supported. It has a listed release date set for the 30th of October in the U.K. region. Hopefully, the North American release will be at around the same time.
Of course, the Super Mario videogame was released in 1985. Later this year, Nintendo is also releasing Mario Maker. The Wii U exclusive will give gamers the ability to create, share and play 2D levels of the platforming series. If you are on the fence, the company is going to give fans a chance to try out the game at select Best Buy stores at E3 2015.
