Accessory Description
The Wii U Pro Controller (Model WUP-005) is a genuine Nintendo OEM wireless controller designed to deliver a traditional controller experience for the Nintendo Wii U. Released in 2012 alongside the system, this official Nintendo gamepad connects wirelessly to the console and serves as a streamlined alternative to the Wii U GamePad for supported titles. The white version offers the same performance and build quality as the black model, featuring a clean, minimalist finish that matches the original white Wii U hardware. Designed for precision and comfort, it provides a familiar layout for players who prefer standard dual-analog controls.
This controller includes a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery known for exceptionally long playtime between charges, making it well suited for extended gaming sessions. Its full-size grips and balanced weight provide stable handling across a wide range of genres, from racing to fighting games. The Pro Controller focuses strictly on traditional input and does not include motion sensing, touchscreen controls, NFC functionality, or an IR pointer. Because of this, certain Wii U titles that rely on GamePad-specific features require the GamePad instead, while many other games fully support the Pro Controller for standard gameplay.
