Sounds like a great accessory to use for playing VC games on the Wii:

It's pre-order only right now but if it works it could be very cool!

Isn't there one that attaches to the Wiimote too?

I pay $10 maximum for one of those, although a SNES one could cover most systems.

It's a bit old, someone had shown it here, it's also mentioned in the FAQ.

Cool nonetheless...but too much for my blood.

Eh, the Classic Controller is quite comperable to having an actual SNES pad. I'll pass.

Yeah, I actually like the CC more than the SNES pad (nice d-pad, more egonomic) so I'll pass as well.

$20 is fair for this. It's not priced to compete with the versatility of the Classic Controller but it doesn't have to be. This is a specialty product and I'm sure they're doing very small runs.

I haven't bought anything from RetroZone but I do have a Super SmartJoy, which is just about the same as the Super RetroPort this site sells, and I love it. I paid about $25 shipped for it, if I remember right.

With these cables you'll be able to use ur NES and SNES controllers on the wii (and gamecube).

Looks pretty sweet. Price I think is $20.

The classic controller IS a SNES controller... only better.

The SNES pad does have a slightly different feel/nostalgia to it. I'll stick with the classic controller however.

It brings back fond memories of my Dreamcast.

And how the cord coming out of the bottom pissed me off.

My wii is getting shipped, after reading online I understand I need the classic controller for the arace games from Wii online, and gamecube controller to play my gamecube games, Does it have to be officall gamecube controller or can it be a 3rd party gamecube controller? thanks

Any Gamecube controller will work; however, the regular first party and Waverbird controllers always felt the best in my opinion.

I have hands that can palm a basketball and my palms do no hit the wire. If you dont touch the wire, what possible distraction could it be?

The wire placement isnt a problem and if it was on the top of the controller, the Wiimote would always be pulling down on the CC.
