I love everything about the look of the Super Famicom, and I can't deny I have a few original controllers hanging around my house somewhere. That being said, fans of the design like me may be attracted to this new Classic Controller from CodeJunkies, which can be used with your Wii and retails for $19.99. Also comes with Turbo fire!
I like the idea, but at the same time I think I'd rather own real Famicom products than lookalikes (although I can't use the real thing with my Wii, so I can see why this would be an attractive prospect). If you decided to skin your Wii with a matching theme though, I'll bet you'd elicit some oohs and aahs from guests with similar interests for sure!

That little OLD SKOOL banner is rather annoying too.
Regardless, I dig it. :]
At least when I am getting raped in Ninja Gaiden I can actually feel like I was back when I was 4.
I'd rather see one in the form of something I've used. The Japanese versions never endeared themselves to me seeing as how I didn't grow up with 'em...
Looks neat, but I'll just stick with the Wii's classic controller.
It'd be nice to play retro games on a controller that actually felt like an NES or Famicom controller...
Right?!
They should manufacture NES and SNES(American and Japanese) controllers... Only Nintendo should produce them...
I'm sure they would sell like, well, controllers! ;)
Seriously, all controllers except for the PlayStation have the D-pads mounting point a few millimeters above the PCB. The old controllers had the D-pad flush with the PCB. It makes a huge difference in feel, as I'm sure any XBox 360 owner will attest. Why doesn't anyone make controller like that anymore?
