The following site provides gizmos to convert NES and SNES controllers into gamecube plugs:

The result is that you can play your VC games with original controllers!

That would be cool if the retro controller weasn't so close to the snes pad. The wiimote makes for a nice nes pad as well...so I don't know if I'd be interested. Now, if we were stuck having to use the GCN pad for nes and snes games, that might be a little different.

For the most part I agree. (The ability to act like an original NES controller is actually one of my favorite features of the Wii.) This is just cool if you want that "authentic" gameplay experience.

Ah, but this does give me an idea (a NES extension cable) that I can use for my NES > SNES adapter for the FC Twin!

heh, what a cool idea, love the NES/SNES to Wii adapters! I'd be interested in a TurboGrafx to Wii adapter myself, looking to download a bunch of those VC games at some point.

Uh..you could use on the Gamecube also, did you forget...and for the Game Boy Player

Now someone needs to hack an NES controller with the motion sensitivity of the Wii. That'd be a little slice of heaven, wouldn't it?

For this to be successful, you'd have to be able to plug all 5 different controllers in for that price.

..or the use the SNES adapter on the Gamecube

[NinjaWarrior]

I just check the site again, and it does work with the Gamecube

Jess...

I believe this is what you're looking for?....

Well, it's certainly wireless... but is it motion-sensitive?

Still, this is a very good start. Now if he made a wireless Sega Genesis or Sega Saturn controller, we'd really be in business!

I prefer to play with the wired Snes controllers, it's how they were originally done and at least I don't ruin controllers that are no longer manufactured.
