A company called RetroZone is selling two GameCube controller adapters that let you use SNES and NES controllers with any GameCube/Wii Virtual Console game. Despite the product website’s claims I doubt you’ll be able to use the controller adapters for any game that requires more than the standard SNES or NES controlls to work, but if you need that nostalgic feeling of a rectangular controller back in your life and don’t already own a GC or retro Wii controller, you can get these adaptors at twenty dollars a piece come early 2007.

  1. Wait, why spend $20 on one controller adapter when Nintendo's Classic controller is 3 in one for the same price? I say reduce the price to about $5-10 each, then you may have a customer.

  2. I would -love- to use my old SNES controller but I won't spend $20 on an adpater. The classic controller is the same price ffs.
