Performance Designed Products – in partnership with Nintendo – is developing the “Wired Fight Pad”, a new line of Classic Controller that takes inspiration from the GameCube controller.
The Wired Fight Pad is compatible with the Wii U as well as the original Wii. It plugs directly into the Wiimote’s extension connector and can be used with games that support the Classic Controller, the Classic Controller Pro, and some Virtual Console games. Mario, Yoshi, and Princess Peach are among the fan-favorite characters featured by the Wired Fight Pad.
PDP will release its product this holiday season for $24.99.

After revealing plans to revive the cancelled Wii project Sadness as a Wii U exclusive, HullBreach Studios and Cthulhi Games have now said that they do not, in reality, actually possess rights to the IP.
A statement from the two developers reads:
The Sadness IP is in the hands of a consortium with 4 studios currently fighting for the bid, and that while we at HullBreach and Cthulhi would like to make a competing bid and secure rights to Sadness, unfortunately we cannot at this time. Sorry to fans for any inconvenience.
HullBreach and Cthulhi are still very much interested in their own project. However, they may be forced to change the game’s title, meaning what little connection it had to the original Sadness could end up being lost.
Cthuli’s Jeremy Kleve told Eurogamer:
“We very recently have contacted the old developers to obtain rights to the what little IP actually existed and their blessing. Should they work against us we are prepared to change the title of the game and drop any usage of their IP, this however will not slow us down in the least since most of their ideas were just ideas.
“Sadness had us intrigued since it began years ago, and we decided recently that we didn’t want to let it die off completely. We would have acted sooner if we were capable back then, but as you know the consoles weren’t as open to indies as they are now.”
