Although the d-pad does look a little off, doesn't it? I'm still waiting for an SNES version anyway.

I love novelty stuff, but I'll stick to my good ol' classic controller. I don't do imports anyway.

Now how about an N64 retro controller. Now that I'd get! Sin & Punishment just doesn't play as smoothly on a Gamecube Controller.

I can't help but feel the N64 controller is a Gamecube controller with a Nunchuck controller shoved in the middle (and right there I single-handedly discovered what Nintendo did with all those extra N64 controllers ;) ).

Then again, I don't have much love for these retro controllers. This Datel one ain't much different.

I also picked up one of the white Gamecube controllers that match the Wii. I'm wondering when an N64 classic controller will pop up now. :)

It would've been nice though to have an N64 controller.

It feels comfortable with or without the Wiimote condom, and that's one less thing to have plugged in. (like the CC or this new thing would) Plus, no offense to the ol' Famicon, but that controller is ugly.

Like in Star Tropics when the boulder chases you and you have to dodge into alcoves, I die much more often with the CC.

Take legend of zelda: OOT for example while the c-pad is button mapped to the right stick but 3 of those 4 buttons are also mapped to 4 of the buttons on the classic controller c-pad left & right= y & x c-pad down= both zl & zr & they work fine for me .
The classic controller may not be perfect but its better than what most people say about it .

I was pretty disappointed when I found that Sin & Punishment on the VC didn't work efficiently with any control option for both the CC and the GC controller, so I've drooled over the thought of having one of these converters a few times.

I'm not sure if the multitap would work either, I don't see why not.

If anyone is interested in a N64 to GC or a genesis/megadrive to GC adapter check out raphnetshop.com

I'm sorry man, but I have no clue if the super multitap is compatible. You can contact retrousb though. On their homepage, click the link for the faq section, and you'll find contact information there.

To everyone else, yeah, we need an affordable N64 to GC controller adapter. There is one available, but it is very expensive.

Overall the Wii has more options for play control than any other sytem

Meanwhile, the Nintendo 64 - while boasting some great games for its time - was sadly overshadowed by the PlayStation and never really got a chance to make its own.

I'm with you and hoping for some kind of N64 controller for the Wii, but even if it doesn't come, I'm ok with my GameCube one to play them with.

We don't need that, an N64 controller is what is truly vacant from the Wii.

Is it compatible with the super multitap or will I have to buy several adapters to play multiplayer games (I own a super multitap and four SNES controllers)?

I recently got a SNES to GC adapter there. It works great with everything VC related except the N64 (which the CC stinks for anyway), and I can play Megaman Anniversary Collection without my thumb bumping into the c-stick mid-match against a robot master and switching my powerup! The SNES has a better d-pad for fighting games than the CC one as well, although it isn't the best.
