It's already a tradition for games consoles' manufacturers to roll out certain special-edition controllers meant to accompany certain famous titles, and the latest such product to make its way onto the market is the gold Classic Controller Pro for the Nintendo Wii, a part of the GoldenEye 007 Classic Edition bundle.

Inspired by the legendary golden gun, the gold controller gives fans and Wii gamers an additional control scheme option, allowing them to play with added accessibility the GoldenEye 007 title.

As Activision informs us, this game was developed exclusively for Wii and is based on the GoldenEye film, giving players the “chance to use the lethal, gritty style of Daniel Craig's James Bond to outwit, outmaneuver and overtake an arms syndicate that threatens the world in an innovative, modern take on the legendary GoldenEye movie.”

GoldenEye 007 features a lineup of four-player split-screen MP options that encourage social gaming, including 40 total characters, eight classic Bond characters, ten maps, three standard modes and 18 special modifiers that allow gamers to create hundreds of game combinations.

The video game also features online multiplayer for up to eight players designed for seasoned FPS online gamers with unique modes and a robust XP system for unlockables and achievements.

"In addition to the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, GoldenEye will also support the Wii Zapper for 'point and shoot' gamers, giving players several ways to experience GoldenEye on Wii," said David Pokress, Head of Marketing for Licensed Properties, Activision Publishing.

"We also couldn't pass up the opportunity to pay homage to the golden gun with the gold Classic Controller Pro, which looks cool and also gives shooter fans a familiar control scheme to use as they blast their way through the game," Mr. Pokress added.

If you're already seriously thinking about getting this bundle, you should know that it will be available this fall for $69.99.
