Warning, it is in questionable condition.

Unfortunately I received a heavily used controller. Works, but I think the bottom of the D-Pad is off a bit. The cable was about to reveal the metal wire inside. The controller looked like someone had burned it a bit on top. Unfortunately, they sell it for almost full price. Just because it's out of production but they should have been more descriptive and honest with the controller status.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Works great with Namco and other similar games

Although the controller isn't as good as the Playstation or Xbox controller, some games are much easier to play with this controller than the Wii remote (but check it again). . back of game box as very few games use it). Virtual console games like Mario Bros. are MUCH EASIER to use with this controller and I believe they all use this controller. The Namco CD I have of the Pac-Man and Galaga remixes only uses the controller when you're in the retro room. So when you're done with a game, you have

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Very expensive

Definitely need one.

I recently bought a Wii and was waiting for people to start selling it cheap to pay for their new WiiU. So I've been a 360 and PS3 gamer for a long time. If you like arcade/console games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Nintendo Wii, you need this controller. I was already familiar with the layout and it feels good in the hand. My friend had an old Nintendo Classic controller and although I'm not a big guy, it was very difficult to use, almost too small for my hands. The only reason I gave it 4…

Cramps on controllers

Although it should be a gamepad controller it is very poorly constructed by today's standards. Too bad I'm forced to use it now because I can't use my Gamecube controllers on the Wii U like I used to with my Wii to play Virtual Console games. In my opinion, the buttons are too close to the edges, making it less ergonomic. If you're playing a game that requires you to hold down the A button, or hold it down for a while, your thumb and possibly your entire right hand will eventually cramp, making

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Improves gameplay of classic games

I love classic SNES games that can be downloaded on Wii. However, playing with a standard Wii controller is often not possible. The addition of grip extensions makes it more comfortable to hold than a simple classic controller. I have very small hands for an adult and find the controller fits well but is maybe a bit big; I have to hold it just so that my fingers can reach all the buttons. As I said, I have small hands and I'm sure many adults find this too small. If you are buying this for a…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Security
