Rating: - Use a Super Nintendo Controller on Your Wii ... Awesome!
I am a big fan of classic video games so I download tons of games off of the Wii's Virtual Console.
However, the Wii Remote is not very precise for these kinds of games. And the Wii Classic Controller is awkward because you still have to plug it in the Wii Remote and have it rest on your lap.
Also, the problem with a wireless controller is that with games with intense action there can be a hesitation between communication with the controller and the system. I distinctly remember times when I was rapidly hitting the fire button on Kirby's Adventure and Magician Lord and my character "froze" and I lost a life. That can be frustrating.
Luckily, I discovered this adapter. It allows gamers to use a Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) controller and plugs into the Game Cube (GC) controller port. There is also one you can purchase that will work with the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) controller.
For playing Nintendo 64 (N64) games, I recommend sticking with a GC controller, but for all other retro systems on the Virtual Console get this adapter to play with a SNES controller.
Note: Some Genesis games don't allow the layout of the fire buttons to be changed on the menu screen. So depending on the game, you may have to choose if the Wii Remote is more to your liking.
Ideally, I hope you use a quality SNES controller like the ones that Nintendo and Capcom made. The orginal controller packed with the system is a timeless masterpiece; it's very responsive and comfortable in the hands and blows away all other controller options on the Wii. I have noticed myself getting higher scores and advancing further in my games since I got this. So dig out the SNES controller from your closet, buy the adapter, and start having authentic retro fun once again ... It doesn't get much better than this!
