PlayAsia, here I come.]]>Apr 16th 2008 2:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/
It's almost tempting enough to take a soldering iron to a SNES controller and a Classic controller to see if you can hack one of these together, but I'd feel guilty if I killed an innocent SNES controller if I messed up.]]>Apr 16th 2008 5:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/

Ah, how I wish I still had them: makes winning the soup race in Chrono Trigger so much easier when I just put "B" on auto...

Nintendo: I could use this controller stateside. Please? I still subscribe to Nintendo Power, and everyone knows how worthless that rag has become even for a Nintendo-exclusive gaming magazine...]]>Apr 16th 2008 4:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/Apr 16th 2008 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/Apr 16th 2008 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.gamersgraveyard.com/repository/snes/peripherals/images/super_advantage.jpg

I broke 2 of them and nearly ruined a third in my hayday....tis an excellent idea that went even further than a simple turbo button....]]>Jun 15th 2008 2:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/Apr 16th 2008 2:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/
Something along those lines.

Now, Nintendo, please please please release this controller stateside!!!]]>Apr 16th 2008 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/

not only that but there are those various original SNES controllers modded to GameCube ports and the like (i see this one has Wii-controller port for wireless unlike those 3rd party ones...)

BUT...

the biggest thing i'd like to see is a *N64* controller. NO ONE makes one adapted for GameCube ports... and the classic controller is horrid for playing N64 games. 4 "C" buttons replaced with an analog stick is not enjoyable.

if ANYTHING should be made... it should be an N64 controller.

The classic controller works great for SNES and Genesis titles and a sideways Wiimote is fine for NES games... But there isn't anything that works for the N64.

I tried to play Starfox 64 with the Classic and gave up after about an hour.

... You know, I seem to remember an enterprising modder converting an old SNES controller into a Bluetooth controller. I wonder if the same could be done for an N64 controller... *goes digging through de.licio.us bookmarks*]]>Apr 16th 2008 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/
Oh well, by the time their dipstick marketing and manufatoring catches up, I'll probably just get a PS8 or XBox1820.

I guess it was a fad....]]>Apr 16th 2008 5:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/Apr 16th 2008 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/Apr 16th 2008 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/Apr 16th 2008 5:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/rare-wii-super-famicom-classic-controller-gets-unboxed/
