SNES Controller > Wiimote For Some.

SNES Controller for Wii

If you are a retro game mania, you probably are not too fond of the whole Nintendo Wiimote thing where you fling your arms around. Not that I hate the Wii and the Wiimote idea, but I guess a modder known by the name of Raphael wasn’t too excited about the whole Wiimote business and modded his Wii so that he could actually use his SNES controller with the Wii. He hacked the controller into a USB circuit to connect it with the Wii and he sure seems to be having fun. The process seems a bit of a pain in the arse, but if you have the patience, it’s totally doable.

Now all I wish was that Nintendo would be kind enough to send turboGadgets a Wii and a SNES controller so I can try out some old Legend of Zeldas I’ve been longing to play for a few years now…
