Our Japanese counterparts have been using the Wii Classic Controller Pro for some time, but Nintendo has finally given American gamers a chance to get their mitts on the accessory.

Today, Nintendo of America launched the $19.99 controller (available in either black or white), which features two rows of shoulder buttons and ergonomically designed grips for comfy gaming. The Classic Controller Pro is compatible with more than 460 Wii, WiiWare, and Virtual Console games, and plugs directly into the Wiimote controller.

In addition, gamers also have the option of purchasing a limited-edition product bundle that includes a black Classic Controller Pro and a copy of Capcom’s Monster Hunter Tri, which also makes its North American debut today. The bundle is offered at a suggested retail price of $59.99.
