Product Description:
The Classic Controller Grip provides the best possible experience while playing with the Classic Controller on the Wii. The ergonomically designed grips give the Classic Controller a less strenuous feel, providing long lasting comfort during intense retro-gaming sessions. The Wii Remote Mount clips onto the back of the Classic Controller allowing for basic menu navigation while keeping the remote and cord conveniently out of the way during gameplay.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - good, but
it fits really nice and makes holding the controller and using it a lot easier. but mine must be defective or something, because i can't figure out how to clip the wiimote to it with a darn.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - excellent
this is such a great product! i always wanted to play games with the classic controller but i never could for very long because my hands would get sore, but this extension makes it so much better! this controller is now my favorite and i use it for anything i can.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A MUST if you have the classic controller!!!
After I picked up a Wii Classic Controller, I noticed this item here. Once I'd played on the classic controller for a short while, I realized how much better this grip would make game play, and it has lived up to every hope and expectation I had for it. This grip makes using the Classic Controller MUCH more comfortable, and easier on the hands, which makes my accuracy in the games I use it with even better!

The cord keeper keeps the cord exactly where you want it to be - out of your way! The grip is PERFECTLY designed for use with the controller, down to the release button on the front of the Wii Classic Controller (between the ZR and ZL buttons) that pops the cord keeper out of the bottom. The plastic hooks on the cord keeper align the cord in a way that prevents an inordinate amount of stress on the cord base, as well as leaving enough space to hook the other end of the cord and keep it out of the way for connecting the controller to the Wii-mote.

The cord keeper's base also pops directly onto the Wii-mote, but if you've still got the jacket over your Wii-mote, as I do, you'll have to pull down the lower half of it to snap the cord keeper base in place. I just pull the jacket back over the top of the cord keeper's base when it's attached, and it fits almost perfectly.

Overall, this is the best five bucks I've spent on an accessory for my Wii, and it completely does away with the one thing that annoys me about the classic controller - trying to figure out where the heck to put the Wii-mote when I'm using it, and dealing with the annoyance of having a cord in my way. GREAT accessory for a Wii accessory!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Shame on Nintendo for not building the Classic Controller like this to begin with
It's cheap and makes the controller less awkward and more comfortable to use. Personally, I didn't quite like how it felt with the wiimote stored in the center (not quite as much room to grip the classic controller), but I really don't mind having the wiimote on my lap. Overall, well worth the $5.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - You do have to get the games first
The controller only works with classic games(not wii or gamecube) and the grip for it is sold here. This is just the snap-on ergonomic handles that make the controller feel more like one built for a Playstation. Which is fine of course, because the ps controller is the best one in use today(the reason why they've never changed the overall design across 3 systems).

Just a reminder, you need the controller first and you need to download the classic games so unless they start making discs with them(which I understand they won't be doing) you'll also need to get the wireless network adapter and then pay relatively small fees for them.

If you love the classic games it is still quite useful and as with the Wii in general it is wireless.
