SNES Controller for Wii Ships

Nintendo of Japan have shipped a gorgeous Wii-compatible SNES controller for classic games.

GutZ316591d ago

"5,000 yen", roughly $48 USD, and god, thats alot for an "Add-on" that is considered 3 generations old(if not older).

Good old Nintendo.

Microsoft and Sony get reamed for having $50 controllers. Yet when Nintendo brings out this POS, it's "amazing" and "must have"

Nintendo's sh!t never sticks, eh.

rbanke6591d ago

Finally a good controller for the wii, the standard classic controller sucks imo

GutZ316591d ago

Best console and controller ever.

G4drake6591d ago

finaly i can play in old school style

PS360WII6591d ago

wow I'm sorry but the classic controller is the same thing plus analog sticks and only 20 bucks

gungnir136591d ago

it seems a little expensive for its use. If they reduce the price some, it's a definite buy for me.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆

Because it is.

Please re-release this.

SimpleSlave40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.

Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.

Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.

As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
