In addition, the two confirmed that April will see Capcom's Wii Japanese record-breaker Monster Hunter Tri arrive in North America, with the game bring sold in two flavors--individually at $49.99, and bundled with a black Classic Controller Pro at $59.99.

More important than the grips/buttons - the wire comes out the back, away from the player, instead of the front, towards the player (like the current stupidly designed Classic Controller)

Totally picking one of the new ones up

      Ehhh I never found the clip to be that useful, I tried to use it once but it just didn't do it for me. I think they could have just put the VMU's on the bottom instead of the top and everything would have been the way it was suppose to, I'm guessing some engineer screwed up and the higher ups that don't play games didn't think anything of it.
