Classic Controller Adapters for the Wii
RetroZone doles out the classic controller lovin with a pair of adapters that allow you to use authentic old-school Nintendo game pads with your Wii virtual console games. The adapters will come in two flavors, original NES and SNES. and will plug into the GameCube ports on top of your Wii.
One of my main problems with playing VC NES games with the Wiimote or cube controller is all those extra buttons, just sitting there like man nipples, serving absolutely no purpose whatsoever. I've got a bag in my closet containing no less that 5 original NES pads, just waiting to be called back into action. I'm hoping for an experience so authentic I'll want to blow into my Wii slot.
Yeah, that sounded really wrong.
The adapters are available for preorder, with the NES model shipping in January and the SNES following soon after. They also carry modded controllers and adapters for PC use, for those of you into the Nintendo 'homebrew' scene.
