Australian EB Games shop lists variant that combines Wii U Pro Controller and classic SNES input for around $49. [UPDATE]: Nintendo Australia has confirmed the controller is not an official Nintendo product.

Nintendo's upcoming Wii U console is a step towards the future, but that doesn't mean the company is forgetting its past. EB Games Australia has posted a listing for a new controller that appears to combine the Wii U Pro Controller with a classic SNES input.

The new and unconfirmed controller (at right) places the SNES input directly below the Wii U Pro Controller's thumbsticks. It includes the controller's iconic rounded form, as well as the same color-appropriate A, B, X, and Y buttons that appeared on the original.

The result is the "Wii U Controller - SNES version," which the site suggests will launch with the console in Australia on November 30 for AUD $48, or about $49. Listings for the controller are not available through North American or European retailers.

[UPDATE]: Nintendo Australia has confirmed the controller is not an official Nintendo product.
