SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO GREW UP PLAYING NINTENDO OR SUPER NINTENDO THIS CONTROLLER IS VERY NASTALGIC (SORRY IF I MIS-SPELLED IT) ANYWAYS IT IS A VERY GOOD BUY FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO RE LIVE THEIR CHILD HOOD.
In 2015, this controller has become an increasing rarity. Many Wii users probably skipped over this one when it was released, and perhaps later ended up getting the Pro version or none at all. As such, this little controller is typically priced higher than you’d think it’s worth. I got it because I’ve always been interested in the concept of it since I first saw it and because I’ve been looking for an officially licensed controller to use for gaming emulators on the PC (I like the idea of using something out of the the “norm” to make it feel special/unique.)*Now, I got mine used for about $20.00. And I do not think the controller is worth anything more from a usage standpoint (collector’s standpoint maybe, but that depends more on you and your limits).I’ll be assessing this less from a “use with a Wii” standpoint and more from a “use for emulators” standpoint since I spent more time doing such.Pros:-Like the idea of a tiny (larger than SNES but still comparatively small) controller? It’s really good at being that-The top shoulder button design is really cool and I wish more companies would try it out. Essentially. L and R are analog and the Zs are placed further in, instead of beneath, on the controller. I think it’s a welcoming difference from the more common design used by PlayStation and XBOX brands.-The face buttons (A,B,X,Y) feel really good and weren’t mushy feeling-The back is really smooth, but if you were worried that it would feel weird to hold, you’re in luck because it feels great.-The Z buttons have this really distinct clicky feel that I think is great-The + and – buttons give a really solid response feelingCons:-Home button sucks. Like really, really sucks. It naturally sits too deep in the controller (just like the Wiimote if I recall correctly), so when you use it you’re never sure if your pushing too far or something of the like-Sticks don’t click in which means you have 2 less buttons to use for emulation purposes (this may not be an issue in some situations but regardless)-My D-pad seemed mushy, but then again I got it used and it’s the only one I’ve used so fair warning-In some, but also uncommon, situations, the analog sticks when used will cause your thumbs to collide. Doesn’t happen often, but can if you’re not constantly conscious of how your thumbs are placed on the sticks-Around the sticks at the base is a octagon-like border which isn’t an attractive feature to have to work with. In many games, it feels weird to hit one of the vertices and then have to continue moving the stick along and hit others-Some won’t like how the cord comes out the bottom. I didn’t mind it, but in some setups it might pose as an issue. Be conscious of that-The X and Y buttons are alternated in positioning compared to a DS’ and can be odd when used if you’re used to their configuration on a DSIn conclusion, I really don’t think its as bad as some will proclaim, but I can totally see how in some gaming situations it just not making the cut. If you want to simply use it, and don’t care about collection value, then you may want to look elsewhere if not satisfied with the Pros listed above. It definitely has a learning curve, but I think that even after you’ve gotten past it, it still won’t be a massively satisfying choice of controller. I can’t tell you, sadly, how it ranks up in comparison to a Classic Pro, but I’d assume the Classic Pro is more versatile.The controller’s a gamble, at $20.00 or less, I might recommend it.If you’re still interested, I recommend first going to any nearby game stores and seeing if they have one. That way, you can test out the feel of the controller first and make sure it meets your standards.

I bought two of these controllers, I couldn’t find them anywhere else in the US so they came from the UK. No problem with my wii at all. I’m very pleased that I was able to get them at a great price. I would recommend this seller for anything electronic very very happy
She handles like a dream. I’ve heard others complain the sticks are too close together, but I’ve personally never had a problem with it. Small, and perfect for SNES games! N64 feels a bit strange, but it works just fine as well.
Works fine, was a little dirty but I cleaned it with some alcohol wipes and it works well. Price was good and was delivered quickly!
I quite like this controller, maybe not as much as the gamecube controller (which is one of my favorite controllers ever made) but it’s still pretty damn good. My only real complaint is the lack of compatibility with my Wii games. I understand the Wii is supposed to be focused on motion sensing but if I don’t want the waggling gimmicks I shouldn’t be forced to play that way, I thought that was the point of the classic controller. Even in Twilight Princess, a game that was also on the gamecube, you can’t use a gamecube or a classic controller to play it on the Wii. It doesn’t make sense that a game that was also programmed for play with a gamecube controller can’t be played with one on the Wii, but I digress…
This review is more about the seller than the product which is as expected. I give them a minus one in this respect. Apparently items comes from another country but doesn’t say that or I would have purchased it elsewhere. Kids are not very patient as you are well aware. The seller did return my emails promptly but it took over a month to receive item…thus the rating. If your child needs one of these go elsewhere or you’ll be hearing “is it here yet” on a daily basis from your kids.
Works great and we are so glad that we purchased this so we could play the Nintendo games that require the classic controller. It plugs into our wii remotes and works flawlessly!
I bought Super Mario World and some other games to play on my Nintendo Wii. The Gamecube controller doesn’t work well at all with it, so I bought this. It worked perfect and I had no problems with it all.
Worked great until my son left it out and the dog ate it. Would’ve purchased my next one from them but they were sold out so I had to go to another Amazon seller.
