Get your PSP out of my Wii photo

Ever finish with a rousing game of Mario Brothers on the Virtual Console and think, “Man, I really wish I had a controller that looked like a PSP.” Apparently the boys at Blazepro have thought about it at least once. The above image is a functional Wii Remote attachment that is said to work just like the classic controller.

Since I can’t sum all the great features of this controller alone, I’ll allow the seller at superufo do it for me:

The Classic Controller is looks like a squareness,but the function has no difference between the origin one.More cheaper to own a classic controller.It can compatible with Wii Remote. It has two Analog Sticks: L, R and 8 function buttons,also has HOME button for functions setting on Wii console.This controller support Wii Remote into low power consumtion mode(sleep mode) too.

Awesome, a “squareness” controller that has “low power consumtion.” Where do I sign up? When I think about controller comfort, the PSP is the second to last thing on my mind. Nintendo has reserved a very special place in my discomfort department with the abortion that was the N64 controller. I would much rather use a baked potato with cords and antennae, instead of cramping my hand on the joystick Nintendo put in the middle of the controller.

Regardless, the controller is only $15.00 for the adventurous. What do you guys think of this kind of stuff? At least it actually has some kind of functionality, unlike the golf clubs and tennis rackets I've seen in the aisles since the great Wii explosion.

[Thanks, Adam!]

I think I'll just stick to my Nintendo licensed classic controller.

I hate Sony's D-pad design so this is a skip for me. The Classic Controller d-pad is much better. The shape of this controller looks uncomfortable as hell. Moral of the story: Nintendo's Classic Controller is tons better.

I actually kind of liked the N64 controller once I learned how to hold it comfortably. Anybody else?

The fact the dpad was so separated on the N64 controller always irked me, even though few games really used it (along with the middle bit) anyway.

The N64 controller was great, just hold the centre and the right arm, what's the problem? It's still more ergonomic than the handhelds today, Wiimote and Dualshock. If by abomination you mean, completely redundant D-Pad arm, then yeah, but don't worry Sony cut that off, made it less form fitting to your hand, and stuck another joystick on there. I find it odd that the second joystick went largely unused until games like skate and EA sports started to revamp their controls. Spent a decade as pretty much a camera control.

I love reading Engrish.

Also, are you crazy? The N64 controller was one of the most comfortable controllers ever!

Wow, that is the worst case of Engrish I have ever read.

Also, the N64 controller was fine. It's no Saturn pad or Dual Shock, but I didn't have any problems with it like I did with the Dreamcast or 360 controllers.
