And yet, sold out before any comments.

This thing does look nice, but I think the regular Classic Controller does a pretty good job of recreating the feel of the SNES controller.

I'm happy with my kickass retroport.

I got one of these a while back, and while it's nice for the nostalgia factor, I'd say that the common white Classic Controller actually performs better.

I have a retroport Gamecube adapter for a NES and SNES controller and i also bought one of these off ebay awhile ago for $50 and all in all i think they are all great additions to my collection, i love playing Super Mario World with an actual SNES controller.

SFC controllers don't work with American Wiis. 8[

It would be hilarious if this was true.

Oh well, I think my parents got me a Classic Controller for Christmas...I could pry the information from my mother, but I'd rather it be a surprise.

You didn't get the joke. 8[

SFC controllers only work on SFCs, SNES controllers only work on SNES.

Now it's not funny anymore...

I bought 2 retroports for snes.
I own 2 original SFC controllers which work 100% fine.
To play NES game on Wii, I used an old SNES controller that I modified (some basic cut/soldering) and it actually works flawlessly :)
You can play NES games on the Wii with SNES controller + retroport BUT the binding of the buttons is way too backward!
5 min of soldering can make you save easily 25 bucks (no need for nes retroport if you already own the snes version unless you REALLY want the nes controller)
