Club Nintendo SNES Classic Controller Review

The Virtual Console is an excellent part of the Wii and will have you reliving a lot of the classics like Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World. However the service is missing one thing from the original systems, and that is that the games just don’t feel the same on the Wii Remote or Classic Controller. Playing on those controllers doesn’t give you that same nostalgic wave that playing on an authentic SNES controller does. Luckily Nintendo has added this classic gem to Club Nintendo.

Wish this would come out in America...

I'll never understand why Nintendo brought this item to Europe and not the US.

[Droid Control]

Its a crap controller really.

In 2011 that is. It was amazing at the time, but i prefer to play my game son a 360 pad these days for comfort.

I'd still pick one up though, for nostalgia.

Its meant for classic snes games...
The way they are meant to be played.

Wow the blisters that beauty gave me back in the days with SFII, but I popped the blister, put a bandage on it and went on like a pro!

My god, that's awesome!

all they need now is the sega genesis 6 button controller

As one of the [female] PR associates from Atlus said "This is retro SEXY".

[ChickeyCantor]
