Want! Virtual Console ready SNES controller

Published by Michael at 11:19 pm

If you find yourself looking at your classic controller and sighing at what you could be using to play Super Metroid and your various Street Fighter iterations, look no further! Behold: the Super Famicom (NES) Classic Controller! Previously only available to Club Nintendo members, Play-Asia and NCSX are making it available for pre-order.

At the time of writing, NCSX isn’t taking any more pre-orders, and Play-Asia has yet to make the product available, but I’ll be keeping an eye on this, so keep checking back. Head on past the break for Inside-Games’ magnificent newly received controller.

    Give me a TurboGrafx-16 controller and I’ll be ready to party.

    an N64 controller would be cool, too. it makes more sense for N64 games.

    It would be nice to have an adapter actually. I’ve got a pair of SNES controllers, a bunch of NES controllers, and basically one and a half N64 controllers. (one of the controllers’ joystick is way too wobbly..)

    It just doesn’t make much sense for Nintendo because they can make so much more money on their classic controller. Plus, the more the Classic controllers they sell, the better. Developers are then given the option to develop with a variety of different controller methods and not have to worry about their game being too expensive with the added cost of buying extra controllers just to be able to play.

    Yo, if you guys already have fully functioning NES and SNES controllers, check out these NES/SNES to GC adapters…
