Blazepro Classic Controller: Dude, get your own design
The Blazepro Classic Controller claims to be the first third-party Classic Controller, which isn't exactly true -- the Hori Fighting Stick works as a Classic, and plugs into the Wiimote in the same way. But as far as we know, it's the first traditional-style third-party Classic Controller. And it should be a hit among Monster Hunter fans.
The product description at SuperUFO says that Blazepro's controller "is looks like a squareness,but the function has no difference between the origin one." It doesn't just looks like a squareness -- it looks exactly like a PSP. As in "somebody made a mold of a PSP as the basis for their controller." It's even got an area at the top that looks like the UMD slot!

HAHA look at this a PSP knock off and you Fanboys say sony copies off of Nintendo .....
Fulluphigh @ Jul 11th 2008 12:08AM
They do. And then blazepro copies them. Good job reading, and whatnot.
Orion @ Jul 10th 2008 3:45PM
I hope you're educated to understand that this ISN'T made by Nintendo. Thus, your jab actually doesn't make any sense, and unfortunately for you, Sony still copies off Nintendo.
Congrats.
religiousjedi @ Jul 10th 2008 3:46PM
Cuz Nintendo REALLY made this controller...
jason @ Jul 10th 2008 3:56PM
on another note Nintendo do copy ....lets see PDAs that have Touch screen i think that came out in 1999 way before the DS ......Fanboys nevery look past the box .
oooooh did you know that the touch Screen and Motion controls are Free to any one that what to use them ......look at the touch screen for computers , Auto makers use touch screens , NASA uses them ect. ect. Hell the US Army uses Motion controls and touch screens for there weapons and un-maned robots .
SoshiKitai @ Jul 10th 2008 4:07PM
Dude... the DS isn't saying they invented touch-screen.
They say they invented GOOD touch screen GAMES.
Geez, you keep calling us fanboys. Yet here you are, prancing like a retarded Sony fanboy.
Stop shaming companies, please.
Mike @ Jul 10th 2008 2:55PM
wow if your going to steal someone's design why not steal a good one. the PSP is portable but not the most comfortable controler. I get cramps in my hands every time I play it.
jason @ Jul 10th 2008 3:54PM
Do you know that the PSP is not a controler ....its like saying that a DS is a controler lol .....on another note Nintendo do copy ....lets see PDAs that have Touch screen i think that came out in 1999 way before the DS ......Fanboys nevery look past the box .

SoshiKitai @ Jul 10th 2008 4:11PM
jason... how about we put it this way...
The first "video game" had knobs. Did they retardedly copy knobs from other machines? By your sense, they should have.
Look, the Wii and DS use "innovative controls" because no one else was USING THEM IN VIDEO GAMES. So there were other forms, but not in the same exact fashion.
Next thing you know, you'll be complaining how 2D is such a rip-off of art.
:P Use a better argument, fanboy.
Fatass of Rebuttalness @ Jul 10th 2008 4:20PM
"....lets see PDAs that have Touch screen i think that came out in 1999 way before the DS ......Fanboys nevery look past the box ."
How many of these PDAs had gaming as their main feature and implemented the touch screen for this specific feature?
Fanboys may not look past the box but trolls don't think at all, apparently.

Urgh.
That looks hideous!
andy @ Jul 10th 2008 3:52PM
Despite the fact that it looks a lot like a squareness, I'm still pretty concerned about the fact that it looks like a PSPness. (secondary phallus-based pun not an intendedness)
RPG! @ Jul 10th 2008 3:57PM
Quick, Sony, sue them and get some money!
jason @ Jul 10th 2008 4:13PM
and how am i a fanboy SoshiKitai .....i dont own any systems .....i play computer games and there more better .
WhatIsThatThing @ Jul 10th 2008 4:15PM
Perhaps you should get "more better" at typing?
SoshiKitai @ Jul 10th 2008 4:18PM
So you're a PC fanboy... wait, if you're a pc fanboy, what the hell are you doing on a specific-home console-fanboy site?
And what's with PC fanboys disliking Wii? What did the Wii do to you guys? (You ain't the first PC fanboy spouting their mouth off in here)
You guys never complained about other systems when they came out. But for some reason, the Wii just made every bat in the PC cave go insane.
I thought you guys NEVER pay attention to console news. What's all this about?
And once again-find a better argument. Your argument doesn't hold any water.
jason @ Jul 10th 2008 4:45PM
ok SoshiKitai hoiw about why dont you have sex with nintendo since your soooo in love with them ..
Nintendo failed to win 2 gens 1) with PS1 vs N64 and 2) PS2 vs gamecube .... Nintendo is never for the future look at gamecube ...
the Wii on there other hand has tech from the past 6 years with 16 gamecube chip set to even match the Xbox 1 power . its CPU and GPU are very weak .....the Wii has 100 games that has the rating of 3 .....games like Ninja bread man and the clone of it and so many others .
i can keep blasting your system to shit dude so if i was you i would stop before it gets going ok dude ...even you know that the Wii has fults .
Fatass of Rebuttalness @ Jul 10th 2008 4:56PM
I love it when trolls prove just how little they know.
Yeah, Nintendo lost against the Playstation and Playstation 2. Did you know that the N64 was the more powerful system that generation? And that the Gamecube was more powerful than the Playstation 2? Apparently not. Don't believe me? A quick google search'll shut you the fuck up.
Now, what are you talking about, 16 Gamecube chipsets? The Gamecube was close enough to the original Xbox's power to begin with that the Wii's architecture didn't need to be changed much for it to be more powerful. Again, don't believe me? A quick google search will prove just how stupid you are.
Nobody gives a shit about how you can blast the system. We all know the Wii has flaws. You know what the cool thing is, though? We're still having fun with the system. A hell of a lot more fun than you're having, apparently, since you'd rather go onto message boards and complain and bitch about a system you don't even own rather than play the games you do own.
This guy needs a banning.
jason @ Jul 10th 2008 5:00PM
SoshiKitai your all talk no action ....so stop talking out of your ass even stop making out with Nintendo ok dude ...
AltCtrlPwn @ Jul 10th 2008 5:05PM
"there more better."
So why is anyone even bothering to argue with this idiot?
Josh @ Jul 10th 2008 4:35PM
All of the reviews on that site (they're all five out of five stars) are written with the same excellent grammar. Hmmmm.....

The Fatass of Kickassness @ Jul 10th 2008 5:29PM
Never said that Nintendo started the industry. Once again, you're putting words into my mouth in order to make it seem as though you actually know something. To the rest of us, you're just making yourself look stupid.
I don't believe you were born in 1981. There is no way in hell a 26-27 year old would act quite as dumb as you do. Honestly, the only thing you've done in this comment thread is prove just how little faith the rest of us should have in humanity.
Now, I'll say this, once again. I'm not just a Nintendo defender. I'm a GAME defender - whether that game be on a Nintendo system, or a Sony system, or a Microsoft system, or on a PC. I don't give a fuck, they're all games to me - a concept you don't seem to understand. I'm no fanboy, unlike you. I buy games and play them, regardless of system, and when you grow up and learn to do the same, you'll find shit is way more fun.
The Fatass of Kickassness @ Jul 10th 2008 5:36PM
Comment system fucked up, lemme post this where it's supposed to be.
Sam @ Jul 10th 2008 5:40PM
um..ok.
for one, I was being sarcastic, if you need help, here is the wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcastic
for two, I never said I was born in 1981, not sure where you got that from, in fact I was born in 1989, so if you can do math, you'll find I'm 18.
third, I wasn't targeting YOU, I was targeting the whole articles' comments, since it's filled with flaming comments, and stupidity.
The Fatass of Kickassness @ Jul 10th 2008 6:45PM
apparently you missed my post where I said the comment system fucked up and I posted that where it wasn't supposed to be. Sorry, my post wasn't directed towards you, rather it was directed towards that dumb Jason kid. Posted it in the wrong reply chain.
jason @ Jul 10th 2008 4:52PM
Fatass of Rebuttalness......Trolls fight over which system is better due note i said im a PC gamer so why dont you stop being a Tool for Nintendo ......Nintendo will never be as power as Computers and you know it ...
the Wii has a Weak CPU and GPU and dont forget it has 16 amecube chip sets to match the power of Xbox 1 ......the Wii cant even get its own Micro sized hard drive like the Iphones have or even Ipods .
should i keep going b/c your going to lose badly on this War ...Even the 360 and PS3 is more powerful then the Wii .
Fatass of Rebuttalness @ Jul 10th 2008 5:00PM
Lose what war? I never said the Wii didn't have flaws. I never said the Wii was more powerful than the 360/PS3/PC. You're just putting words into my mouth to make it seem as though you have a point - something that may be working in your mind, but to anyone reading any of your posts, you're just coming off as a misinformed troll who's got nothing better to do than whine about perceived flaws in a system he doesn't even own.
I suggest you go back and read my reply to your other post, and then visit some websites that have some system specs up so you can realize just how dumb you're sounding to those of us who know what we're talking about. 16 Gamecube chipsets? lol.
Lijik @ Jul 10th 2008 5:01PM
Obvious troll is obvious.
jason @ Jul 10th 2008 5:09PM
Lijik Trolls dont do nothing .....infact Trolls dont know anything about whats they talk about like Noobs .....and we all know How the Noobs are ....
Hell i can take you all on counter strike or even Doom 3 oooooooh yeah you kids dont even own a computer .
Fatass of Rebuttalness @ Jul 10th 2008 5:12PM
How old are you? You type like a middle schooler with cerebral palsy.
I've played more games on my PC in the last year than you've owned throughout the course of your entire life. You know how that's possible? Because I don't limit myself to playing only one system, or spend my time whining and bitching about other systems - I just buy the games, and play them. Its as easy as that. Now, I suggest that, if you want to formulate a cohesive argument and play with us big boys, you actually learn what the hell you're talking about instead of spewing bullshit specs and statistics and throwing out insults that sound like they're coming from my twelve year old nephew.
jason @ Jul 10th 2008 5:19PM
Fatass of Rebuttalness No one cares for so shut the hell up ....your just a kid that thinks Nintendo started the video games ......yep you are a Fan Boy Troll that dont know your history of video games . hell i was bron in 1981 and i know almost every thing about games and i know what Nintendo is doing is not the way to the future .
dont you forget that computer games came first back in the 70's with Apple 2 .... Call me a Troll all you want ...to me its just a word from story books with no meaning ... Hell to me your a Noob but thats just a word .
So cry to mom and go to bed Noob ........Fu-kers im outa here ...going to play StarCraft .
Maattp @ Jul 10th 2008 5:28PM
Dude I know a really good therapist that can help you. it's clear that you have some kind of mental problem. No one ever said wii had better graphics that ps3 or 360. And you can't judge it against a pc, each pc is different. You need to get a life.

Fatass of Rebuttalness no one care for you or even loves you so why dont you go back in your dads ass and die ok ....
No one cares about the Wii any more if they did they would of won this gen superfast .
the fact is you Trolls and or Tools cant get it in to your samll ass brains that the Wii wakes real power ....Duo cores , 2 to 4 Gigs of ram , geforce card all the times that the Wii lacks in to play good games .
Fatass of Rebuttalness @ Jul 10th 2008 5:14PM
lol, the Wii's already won this generation. But that's irrelevant to me, and do you know why? Because I own ALL THREE systems, and enjoy games for ALL THREE SYSTEMS. Because I'm not a troll.
That little insult of yours at the beginning of your post only proves what I was thinking earlier (that you're probably a fourteen year old boy who doesn't actually know shit about games or the gaming industry).
samfish @ Jul 10th 2008 5:22PM
Isn't it fun arguing with 11 year olds, Fatass?
The Fatass of Kickassness @ Jul 10th 2008 5:30PM
Gives me something to do when I'm not gaming or fixing up my car.
nintendo1889 @ Jul 10th 2008 5:11PM
Jason said "the Wii has a Weak CPU and GPU and dont forget it has 16 amecube chip sets to match the power of Xbox 1 ......."
(Quoted for truth!)
The fact that the Wii has a weak processor and graphics processor is COMPLETELY irrelevant!! Every generation, the weakest systems (SNES/GBA/DS/PSX/PS2/Wii) all seemed to sell very well while the more powerful systems, such as the Genesis/Xbox/Nokia NGage/Gizomdo/PSP/PS3/Xbox 360 didn't sell nearly as much. Any explanation as to why this is the case? A sign, perhaps? Better power never meant better games! Gameplay/fun factor is the most important factor in a videogame; not hyperealistic eye candy OR 10 million-channel digital theater sound.
jason @ Jul 10th 2008 5:45PM
Fatass of Rebuttalness wen you said already won then gen did you forget that PS3 in japan out sold the Wii and the Wii sales are going down every week i guess not .
yes its fun to talk to 11 years old on here that dont know shit about gaming ........and for your info PS2 sold more then the Wii , PS3 and 360 all together .......and another thing and i love this if you Email nintendo about there CPU , GPU and its Ram they will say the same thing that im saying to you Trolls and Tools on here ...
The Wii is very Weak in its power im not talking about graphics here im talking about how much bytes of data the Wii can handle .......Tools are for people that love 1 thing over the other and trolls fight over stupid things .....
if any one in here knows about computers which i dought ....then you would know that computers are more powerful then gaming systems but since you people i mean kids dont have jobs and that are poor cant even upgrade there computers or even buy there own systems .
dose any one in here have a computer for the 1999's and run Win98 ...if so then why are you even on here .....
The Fatass of Kickassness @ Jul 10th 2008 5:51PM
lol, thought you were leaving?
The PS3 has been selling out for a few weeks, thanks to MGS4. Still nowhere near catching up to the Wii, something you've neglected to notice, and when people stop buying MGS4 in droves, something that happens to all big titles about three weeks after they've come out, the PS3 will settle back to second or third place in weekly standings. Oh wait, THAT'S ALREADY HAPPENED. Looks like someone hasn't been paying attention to sales charts.
"and for your info PS2 sold more then the Wii , PS3 and 360 all together"
Once again, for the fifteenth time, I never said it didn't. Just said it was weaker than the Gamecube and the Xbox, something anyone who knows shit about system specs will tell you. ONCE AGAIN, you're putting words into my mouth to make it seem as though you have a point. Pathetic, really.
"and another thing and i love this if you Email nintendo about there CPU , GPU and its Ram they will say the same thing that im saying to you Trolls and Tools on here ..."
Uh, no they won't, because Nintendo never officially disclosed the Wii's specs. Nice try, though. Now, if you go to any website that has actually broken the Wii down, you'll see that all of this shit you're trying to push at us is simply false. The only tool here is you, my friend.
Now, once again, nobody ever tried to claim the Wii as a powerful system. You're trying to pass off bullshit as fact, though, and thats when the arguments begin. In this comment thread you've proven your stupidity beyond a shadow of a doubt. You've lost. You're just gonna have to deal with it.

jason @ Jul 10th 2008 9:18PM
Wii's Processor ( CPU: PowerPC-based "Broadway" processor, made with a 90 nm ) now its GPU ( GPU: ATI "Hollywood" GPU made with a 90 nm CMOS process )
PS3's Processor ( IBM-designed 3.2 GHz PowerPC-based ) its GPU ( 256 MB GDDR3 RAM clocked at 650 MHz )
Xbox 360's Processor ( Xenon processor ) and its GPU ( C1" and "R500 90 nm chip )
all taken from wikipedia.org if you fanboys want too look it up ... due note that both PS3 and 360 are made from computer chip sets .
now the fun part ......i can get in to 100 PC gaming computers so i will use Dell .
since there so many diffreant types of Dell computers i will use mine and since my computer is more powerful then any this Gen systems . it has 1 TB of Hard Disk , Geforce 6600 GT GPU , 4 Gig ram , 1.5 Video card ram , WinXp OS , DirectX 10
domdecosa @ Jul 11th 2008 1:25PM
Geforce 6600 GT GPU.... that's pretty damn weak.
Char6296 @ Jul 24th 2008 4:38AM
Ugh, I'm so ashamed to be 12. Everybody, avert your eyes from this immature, trolling and unfortunately fellow 12 year old.
Serion @ Jul 10th 2008 6:11PM
Lols, these arguments Jason are hilarious. No nonsense, completely opinionated claims that are absolutely unsupported by any evidence. It makes me laugh how he talks about how much power the computer has then mentions Doom 3, CS, and StarCraft, GAMES THAT ARE REALLY PUSHING THE LIMIT IN PC GAMING ATM.
You're a little douche, the truth is Wii isn't as powerful as the other two consoles, DUH. Consoles will also not be able to match the visuals pumped out by a high end PC, but they are hundreds if not thousands of dollars cheaper. I use a Wii purely when I have people over, because with it I don't have to be embarrased about gaming habits because everyone loves the Wii. And by everyone I mean girls who have never played videogames but will pick up Wii Sports, Mario Kart, or Guitar Hero in an instant.
I'll take up your challenge, let's play some CS 1.6, or maybe some games that have been released in, I dunno the past 5 years? TF2? DotA? Lols
Don @ Jul 10th 2008 7:02PM
Man, that "PSP-styled" controller is hilarious & awesome!!
Awesome because i love my PSP the most out of all my consoles (PSP slim (x2), PSP fat, Wii, DS Lite, Xbox) in fact, my 2 PSP Slims are both white... to match my lovely Wii, natch.
But the analogue sticks on that controller seem a bit far away from the shoulder buttons, I wonder if that'd be very comfortable.
Too bad I can't/don't play any downloaded Wii games. That controller just cracks me up. It's like smooshing my main loves together....
Shogan @ Jul 10th 2008 7:30PM
Thrustmaster also has a Classic Controller alternative... though its more of a Wavebird (since it doesn't work with Geometry Wars Galaxy)
Ryudo @ Jul 10th 2008 9:06PM
PS2 294mhz CPU
147 mhz GPU
(ps2 chipset dubbed emotion engine and it's GpU was OpenGL)
Gamecube 485 mhz CPU
162 GPU
(based on IBM's gekko and ATI flipper chipsets)
Xbox 733 mhz cpu
233 Gpu (was basically a Nvidia Gforce 2)
Wii 729 mhz cpu
243mhz Gpu
(again working with IBM and ATI with renamed but same basic design as Gamecube just overclocked with the broadway and hollywood chipsets)
(using an overclocked gamecube chipsets essentially and more efficient than Xbox PC design so specs don't do justice in just raw numbers)
Just a quick FYI and as for jason don't argue with him people as he is stupid and arguing with stupid people you will always lose as they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
