Great product for retro gamers!

I used this to customize my original SNES controller for use in Mario Maker for Wii-U. Just plug in the SNES controller, plug the other end into the Wiimote and you're done. As an avid retro gamer and twitch streamer, I highly recommend this adapter. A+

Original Snes Reborn Controller

Perfect for my original Snes Controller from the 90s. Easy to connect and function with Nintendo Wii. It syncs fast and you can also use it on your computer to play 2D platform games. I love how compact it is with a thin cable instead of a long one. All in all I am not satisfied with my order.

Pros
  • Cable and Adapter
Cons
  • Some little things

Hyperkin Controller Adapter

What did I not like? It immediately occurs to me that my controllers do not work with the SNES Classic. Now they WILL work with the NES Classic, which according to Hyperkin (whom I contacted) shouldn't.

Pros
  • Wii
Cons
  • Long wait

Bought one of these to use with my SNES Classic Edition. The buttons are wrong and do not work properly. When using a real Nintendo SNES Pad, the Joystick, LR, Start and Select work as expected. If you press Y, it's like pressing B. If you press B, it's like pressing real A. Real Y and X can't be activated. For some reason it…

Pros
  • Legacy systems
Cons
  • No insurance

Garbage :( best in Wii

I ordered two of these for a friend. Yes, his SNES Classic is the official model, it was relatively new and had the original power supply. The controllers that came with it had issues. The one on the left Mario Kart player (Player 1) did not register the pinball (L & R) presses most or all of the time In Starfox, your ship had to bank almost all of the time With or without the controller extension cable, there was an issue. I put the Hyperkin adapter (only one of them) on the right side and…
