Third-party manufacturer PDP has previously released three officially licensed Gamecube inspired controllers with themes of Mario, Peach and Yoshi. And that was obviously a success on their behalf, because now they've announced four more fighting pads.

This time it's Donkey Kong, Link, Samus and Wario that's been chosen as themes for the controllers that replaces the Classic Controllers. They need to be plugged in to a Wii-mote and can be used with both Wii and Wii U. They are prices $24.95 in the US and it's still uncertain whether we'll be able to find them in Europe.
