heh. i don’t reallie curr for this anyway..

maybee if u ddn’t hav ta connect it to the wiimote..., maybe, i would’hav

  ya knoe, an actual wireless classic controller

One of my Classic Controllers got chewed up by my dog, so I fully intend to buy one of these.

If NoA doesn't bring it over, I will import one.

So... anyone is just free to print and distribute Wii games in America?  And there are no special licensing contracts written up for Japanese publishers making Japanese market-centric games in Japan?  Its all the same here, Japan, anywhere?

Awesome.  Bring those JRPGs on over, 3rd parties!  Sounds like NoA has practically paved the road with gold for those little Japanese publishers wanting to do business over here.  If you're a little Japanese publisher, and have made a sweet licensing deal with NoJ, and cleared their technical prereqs, your way with NoA is clear and free.

Do you really believe that NoA has nothing to do with it?  I will agree that the 3rd parties need to show interest, meaning be willing to bear some financial risk, before the ball gets rolling.  How much financial risk is significantly impacted by their relationship with NoA, however, especially when the publisher is small, and the market is of questionable size.

"At this time, we do not have any plans to launch the Classic Controller Pro in the United States."

Keyword: AT THIS TIME

In other words, just not right now. It's likely they'll release it here, but no plans at the moment

NoA may convince someone to bring a game over, but they won't stop you unless you can't meet the minimum requirements of

1) it is rated by the ESRB and is not AO
2) it runs, and has no major bugs (must be at least playable)
3) you have a Nintendo publishing liscense, which can be easily attained if you have a real company trying to make real games.

They used to have the "Official Nintendo Seal of Qaulity" which meant you could only publish like 5 games per year, and they had to be of a certain Nintendo quality. Now it is just the "Official Nintendo Seal", which means they bought a liscense.

NoA does not stop a game from being released unless the company themselves can not afford basic operations in America, in which case it isn't NoA it is the fact that they aren't profitable in America and left, can't find an American publisher, or refuse to take out a loan to start a business.

NoA is not responsible for the lack of games coming from Japan or anywhere else unless it is 1st party or NoJ paid for the game to be made, and then NoA refused to pay for localization.

I dont really care for Classic Controller Pro , i just want this to be released in the West:

The Nes Wii controller

I like that better! =D

I don't really want it anyway. I am perfectly happy using my GameCube controller for even SNES games. It's not too uncomfortable for me anymore.

and I would prefer to use Wii-mote and nunchuk on Wii games too.

GCN controller is terrible for games like SMW. Running then jumping immediately after is about impossible because you've got to go from Y to B instantly. Doesn't work out at all. Classic Controller has a lot of benefits.

*gasp* those bastards ; really though I'm pretty sure this may be subject to change in the future (I hope >_>)
