Ugly as it is, it does look like a typical Wii add-on. It looks kiddish or "user-friendly" like all the other Wii controllers (even N branded ones).

Wow way to rant. I wouldn't personally buy one but I don't think the design is that bad. Some people like different designs. I wouldn't pay for an Airflow controller, but I know a lot of people who did.

Any flight sim fans here remember when ThrustMaster used to have those kick ass F-16 replicate sticks?

Those were the days.

The first thing I look for when shopping for a controller is one with superfluous edges that'll leave patterned impressions and blisters on my hands from extended use. Gaming /should/ be painful!

(Man, who are these sweaty-handed buggers who've managed to convince peripheral manufacturers we need the equivalent of a bath-mat on our controllers?!).

I don't know why people don't just buy a Wavebird? Doesn't make any sense to me besides the Z-Button being shit.

If you have wavebirds, the only reason to get a classic controller is for SNES games cause it makes them exponentially easier to play. I have no problem with the wired classic controller though, so I'll stick with that for SNES games.

Yeah, I've got no problem with the Classic. I don't see how plugging it into the Wiimote is a problem, unless you for some reason play standing up...

If having a "dangling remote and wire sitting on your lap" is a problem, you could try "placing it on the couch next to you".

That this is damn ugly. However, if you make it a deeper blue, add some red, and some stars you could have an equally tacky American flag controller.

Wait a min...how is it ugly?

I think it looks great. Way better than Nintendo's classic controller.

The only thing wrong is the COLOR of the Blue. Either make it deeper or make it completely white.

I'm definitely going to look into this.

I wonder if it can be used as an alternative to the standard GC controller. It might be interesting to play some of the GC games with a controller like this.

NDF - Nintendo Defense Force
SDF - Sony Defense Force

A level beyond Fanboy (you seriously need A LOT of EXP in either class to reach them).

I don't see what's so wrong with this controller. Sure it's not the prettiest, but the fact that it is just a GC controller with rearranged buttons is actually a good thing I think. This has one up on nintendo's classic controller because it can also be used to play GCN games. Nintendo could fix that problem, of course, with a firmware update that allows the classic controller to play GCN games. Seriously nintendo, it has all the buttons, just do it already so I don't feel so cheated for paying 20 bucks for a controller I only use to play Super Mario World.

I agree with J and some other people in here. I wouldn't mind playing Capcom vs SNK on a decent controller and not the shitty Wavebird. The Classic Controller's D-Pad sucks and I can't play any GC on it. I might consider selling my Wavebird and buying this if someone puts out a review on the D-Pad.

This is the best solution. buy the classic controller, and the nyko controller grip. it makes use of the actual holes on the back of the cc controller, and has the option to add bottom bumpers to the remote, or not. its currently only 6.99 here;

All 3rd party controllers have to be fuck-ugly and make a creaking noise when you grip them. IT'S THE LAW!

The NDF is better though because our rings are inspired by Captain Planet, and our zords are a limited edition custom Sentai/Voltron hybrid. And Nintendo has all the good ring games now too, like Sonic and the Secret Rings for Wii and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates for the DS. I won't be surprised if Sonic eats the Olympic Rings this Christmas. He's got a problem.

Technically, the SDF should have the rings since the whole thing started by making fun of Sony Fanboys. I remember someone wrote an EPIC post about the SDF standing in a dessert or something and calling forth their powers.
NDF should, therefore, have the Zords.

Wonder Twin powers (activate!) are also available for the taking.

Bein' a member of the SDF ('Ah was proCLAIMED as such a few days ago for defending Ratchet an' Clank), 'Ah demand a DUEL with the leader of the NDF for control 'ova th' Rings!

Jody Anthony was our leader and a founder of the NDF in response to the SDF. He's err retired from active duty from the NDF stepping away toward a more neutral anti-troll defender. Kye is second-in-command and keeper of our rings.

Samfish,

I recognise you as a worthy opponent.
I would accept your challenge for the rings, but...
that would be dumb.
Why battle for something I already have?
Besides, the force is telling me (yes, the NDF does Star Wars as well) that your heart does not belong to the SDF. It is true. Search your feelings.

I have no problem with the Classic Controller, and still consider it pretty much wireless(as theres no wire going across my living room, which is the whole point of wireless controllers right?)

But I do see this as a nice alternative to the gamecube controller which I absolutely hate, even the wavebird sucks IMO.
