Hopefully they work. How can they possible be testing them if the USB ports don't function ATM?

Someone tell these ers to get on making a VC controller adapter for Gamecube games.

It has all the necessary buttons AND the digital click on the shoulder buttons. How hard could it be?

I mean it honestly looks like that was the point the whole goddamn time.

Cool, but, let's get something to plug into the wiimote so we have have wireless retropad action.

I'm actually really surprised Nintendo didn't just kick up at least a limited production of authentic N64, SNES, and NES controllers to plug into the Wiimote. Sell them only online to the (stupidly) nerdy masses (myself included). It'd be great!

Geez... $19 for each one? I'd rather just use the classic controller.
