| 1337 Gamer said: Y not just make an improved GC controller. At least that was a decent gaming pad. This wanna be retro controllers look like just another way to milk people for their hard earned cash. Too bad it wont be able to compare with the Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers. Besides i thought the whole point of the wii was to be a completly different gaming experience with the wii mote??? |
The reason for this controller is to play games on the Virtual Console. If you ever tried playing a SNES game on a GC controller you would understand why they made this one. The button layout on the GC controller works great for GC games, but since the button layout for A,B,X,Y is different on a SNES controller the programmers layed the buttons out differently in software.
Anyways, this controller isn't to milk cash, it is just another option for people who want a classic controller but don't like how it feels. I have one classic controller, and I won't be buying this one as it does the exact same thing in a slightly different form.
As for your last statement/question, again this is mainly for the virtual console, and the few games that have the classic controller as an extra option (like mario kart)
