Playing games on the Classic Controller for the N64 on your Wii is fantastically wrong. If you've ever tried to play through Sin & Punishment with that thing you know there are some games that require the unique design of the N64 controller. Hell, Even though holding the Wii Remote sideways in order to play Super Mario Bros. on your Wii is functional there's just a certain je ne sais quoi missing from the affair. If only every Nintendo controller ever (barring the Virtual Boy) could hook up to the Wii.
Oh look, they can! Innex will be producing the 3-in-1 Virtual Retro Adaptor for the Wii. The converter will function with the NES, SNES and N64 controllers from first or third party sources. The N64 controller will have analog controls too. The adaptor simply plugs into the Wii's GameCube controller slots and then your retro controllers plug into it. Getting those retro controllers is entirely up to you, but if you're a gamer worth your salt you've got an old NES controller laying around somewhere and your N64 is most likely still under your television.

I think Nintendo should have made these since the beginning for some street cred; the classic controllers are shit. Oh wait money...
Good thing I still have all my systems and controllers!
Sweet. =)
Why yes, I do still have an N64 under there!
