Bundled with Monster Hunter Tri

Today Nintendo and Capcom announced that the upcoming title, Monster Hunter Tri, will be available this April bundled with the new Wii Classic Controller Pro for approximately $60 USD. The bundle purchase will save gamers wanting both the game and the controller about $10, as they’ll retail for $50 and $20, respectively, on their own.

Interestingly, I don’t think I’ve ever played a Wii game that makes use of those buttons on the Classic Controller, anyway. Still, it’s hard to deny how sweet the Classic Controller Pro looks:
