Since I picked up my Wii last month, I’ve been wondering why the so-called “Classic Controller” didn’t actually look or feel like any classic Nintendo controller I’d ever used. I’d much rather have my old SNES controller than that thing any day. Well, as it turns out, if you’re a member of a super secret Nintendo group, you’ll actually get such a controller.
Okay, so Club Nintendo isn’t a secret group. However, if you don’t live in Japan, you can’t be a member, which does kind of suck. Also, the controller isn’t a Super Nintendo controller, but rather one from the Super Famicom. Details, right?
At any rate, members of Club Nintendo have been receiving these Super Famicom controllers which hook into the Wiimote in the same way the Classic Controller does. There’s no word on whether or not they plan to actually sell such controllers, but you can bet your sweet ass I’d buy one.

actually, if i remember right, the super famicom and super nintendo are the same thing, just they called it the super famicom in japan. The same was the case with the original Nintendo, in Japan it was called the Famicom, i don’t know why either. however i’m pretty sure the only real difference was color schemes, like the original famicom was like Beige and Maroon instead of the white and grey we got over here
