Wii Classic Controller

Nintendo's Wii has full backwards compatibility with every Nintendo game from the NES to the Gamecube. However, all of these games were released before the introduction of the innovative motion sensing Wiimote, therefore to play these Nintendo classics a traditional controller is required. This is where the Wii Classic controller comes in. Offers the same buttons and analog stick system introduced in the Playstation and N64 days, this controller lets you play all of the backwards compatible games the way they were meant to be played.

I love the classic controller. I'm a SNES super fan and this controller got me into N64 games way more than the actual N64. It's a shame you can't play game cube with this controller tho... how many freakin' controllers do i need to FULLY enjoy my Wii????

I got the classic controller because it was so uncomfortable playing Mega Man 9 with the Wiimote. I didn't want a wire sticking out of the Wii with a GameCube controller.

Great controller. Feels like an SNES controller with analog sticks.
