Nintendo is showing off its latest WiiMote. Designed by Power A (a brand of Bensussen Deutsch & Associates, Inc., (BDA)), the Pro Pack Mini is a MiniWiimote with an attachable Minichuk. The Pro Pack Mini has the same exact functionality as the full sized Wiimote. It is just smaller, which means it was designed to be more comfortable and easier to grip. POWER A is going to be showing off demos of the Pro Pack Mini at E3. They will also be offering other video game accessories.

The Pro Pack Mini is 35% smaller than the Wiimote. It will feature compatibility with Wii MotionPlus. The edges of the Pro Pack Mini are contoured with special emphasis on the places where your hand puts pressure, for a better grip and more comfort. The grip also was designed to reduce slipping. The A, 1 and 2 buttons are bigger to make play easier and more accurate. These buttons also glow for play in the dark. The Pro Pack Mini also comes in the following colors: Pink, Black, Purple and Teal.

“Players will immediately enjoy the sleek feel and handling of the MiniRemote™ and MiniChuk™. While the smaller devices work well for children with smaller hands, they really provide a more comfortable grip for kids and adults, extending game time, control and enjoyment,” said Eric Bensussen, president of POWER A and BDA.

The Pro Pack Mini will retail for around $50 and it will be released in August 2010.
