I've played more wii than I have PS3 in a while, with the exception of the Resident Evil 5 demo.

This product is freaking great though, I have been playing starfox on my old N64 instead of virtual console, because the joysticks of the classic controller are actually way too sensitive than the older games were designed for. This is the first cheapo gadget I've seen in a while that I'm certain to buy ASAP.]]>May 21st 2009 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/(Her birthday is on the 25th so she (we) have to wait a couple more days.)

Like a dope I bought the retro controller when I could be fishing my super-cool SNES controllers out of the attic!

How do you manage to have an HD CRT? Care to explain?]]>May 21st 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/
First of all... modern TV's don't have glass? Where did you get that gem of misinformation? Second of all, the Nintendo light gun does not "shoot light", it RECEIVES it. When you pull the trigger, it's the TV that flashes light at the gun, and the gun has a sensor to read that flash. It relies on the timing of the TV's refresh rate to figure out the math of what part of the screen it is seeing. This is why PAL light guns don't work with NTSC sets and vice versa, because they have different refresh rates. Similarly, Nintendo light guns don't work with modern flat-screens because they use a completely different method of refreshing the screen. This doesn't mean that light gun technology could not be developed for modern TV's (and in fact, many have), it just means that Nintendo's light gun won't work because it was designed specifically for NTSC/PAL CRT televisions.]]>May 21st 2009 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/May 21st 2009 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/May 21st 2009 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/May 21st 2009 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/
With regard to this product, what I really want is not this, but a similar gizmo that plugs into a Wii Remote, instead of into a GC port. I want to be (more or less) wireless. Yeah, Club Nintendo might let me get one such SNES controller, and maybe not, but we need a way to buy these things.]]>May 21st 2009 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/May 21st 2009 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/May 21st 2009 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/May 21st 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/May 21st 2009 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/May 21st 2009 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/Good observation Toon. Didn't notice that you can only connect on controller per console at a time. What I wonder if you will be able to use the SNES pad on NES games and the N64 pad on SNES games. What I also wonder is how will the buttons be configured. Will the Z trigger on the N64 pad trigger the same response in the Virtual Console game since it is actually using a GC port on the Wii? We really need more information or a video of this. By the way for those who wish to use this on the PC look at (http://www.prlog.org/10146192-3-in-1-magic-joy-box-use-xbox-gc-ps2-controllers.html). I have a similar device that I picked up from Wal Mart for about $10 but I can't recall the name of the company. Will post link to that device when I get home. ]]>May 21st 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/May 21st 2009 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/komodos-retro-adapter-brings-your-dusty-old-gamepads-to-your-du/http://savvygeek.com/2008/04/18/review-gamemon-usb-converter/).
