Nintendo Adding Wii U Pro Controller Support to New Super Mario Bros

Within the new footage of New Super Luigi U in action came word of a new patch that will add new features to New Super Mario Bros U.

Despite only needing three buttons and a D-Pad for the New Super Mario Bros. games, there have been some players who don't find the Wii Remote comfortable to hold side on - or just simply don't have enough controllers for multiplayer.

Nintendo are aiming to address with with a patch that's due around the release of New Super Luigi U that will add Wii U Pro Controller support for both titles.

Also, the patch will allow players to purchase New Super Luigi U through the game itself rather than via the Wii U eShop.

Will you prefer playing 2D Mario using a Wii U Pro Controller instead of a Wii U remote?
