Nope. The tag was clearly for the Wii U Pro Controller. No override was necessary. I just got really lucky, I guess.. Like I said on an earlier post, I'd attach a pic but the system won't let me.
I was browsing in the video games section when I came across the Wii U accessories. Then I saw the red sticker that indicated that the Wii U pro controller is on sale for $18.00. I couldn't believe my eyes! I've already bought the two units that the store offered so no more in the San Leandro...
