SNES Classic Controller on Play Asia on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

The limited-edition SNES classic controller for Japanese Club Nintendo members, is now back in stock to purchase online.

Essentially it's a SNES controller that's been wired to attach up to a Wii Remote as a classic controller, working with titles downloaded on the virtual console service, or for those using homebrew apps. Play Asia is listing the Japanese import for a whopping $74.90 (£53).

Will you be picking up the SNES controller? Or is the asking price a little too much?

This has been on Play Asia before jb, I got email alerts a while back. They've just been restocked.

I have two already, so does Zapp. I'm only using one at the moment the other is boxed and is staying in mint condition. I paid 50 each at retail. They are rare so the cost is to be expected.

Thank you for playing Super Famicom

The classic controller is perfectly fine for my SNES gaming. Smilie

Now, if only there was a way to use it on SFIV.

That is an absolute riduclous price to pay for such a thing. I'd love to get one, but that is something that Nintendo really need to sort out.

I mean, i think they should put a few of these out into UK retail for like £15-20, and also N64 pads

N64 pads would be ace. They defo need to consider a wireless wave-bird style pad for the Wii, GC pads/Classic are okay, but would defo love a coupla wavebirds!

$75 is a Wii bit expensive. (Get it? Smilie )

Is this really necessary? The Classic Controller is more than enough if you ask me.

Speaking of Wii peripherals, you folks may wanna check out the recent news on Nyko's Wii devices I honestly don't care that their new nunchuck can rumble, that Wii remote is just too damn ugly to use...

I think the CC is crap myself, I hate the feel of it.

That is lame enought to be funny. Smilie

The Japanese always get the cool stuff....

If it plugged into the Gamecube slot, I'm there. Wireless is just not responsive enough for some of the crazy-hard shumps and action games, though.

Im hoping this comes to the american Club Nintendo. o-o
