That's excellent. I'm buying them right now. Any word on a Nintendo 64 port?

Yea I read about those things on 1up.com...So...basically, the Classic Control is utterly worthless??




Posted by Dexter

Not at all. This just gives you more options on what to use. I actually like using the Classic Controller, so I'll probably use whichever one I feel like using at the time. Also, there's some four player games and it's good to have a variety of controllers to choose from. Wiimote, NES, Super NES, Classic Controller, Game Cube Controller.

No, Dexter! Stop! They're not out for a month! The one you're buying is a USB adapter, which WON'T work on a Wii.

haha. What? It doesn't look like that at all. Are you sure? It's a RetroPort Preorder. I wouldn't mind if they sent me the other though. I could use an actual NES controller when playing Dr. Mario with NES Queen. That would be nice.

I am wondering though, why Nintendo didn't just out and release this (or actual controllers) themselves? Plus, I wonder how the nuts and bolts of this stuff will work (Button translations), because wouldn't using these still have the Wii look at them as GCN controllers?

Quoting Proto Man: I am wondering though, why Nintendo didn't just out and release this (or actual controllers) themselves?

...Because Nintendo have taken a silent vow to not rerelease anything of theirs, unless it involves shoving it on a new system and making you pay for it?
