Title: Datel to release retro classic controllers
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on July 20, 2008, 12:37:08 PM

 Japan Amazon says 1659 yen or  $15.50 (http://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=nb_ss_vg?__mk_ja_JP=%83J%83%5E%83J%83i&url=search-alias%3Dvideogames&field-keywords=%83%8C%83g%83R%83%93&x=0&y=0)

It has a HOME button so it's definitely a classic controller.

I assume these are only for Japan right now...  Maybe we'll get an NES color themed one...

the problem is the retro controls are cool but they are hard to hold. My hands have just got used to it form fitting.

Would these not work with American Wiis? I would consider buying one for the novelty.

I would love it if these were wireless.  As it is, they're neat, but not for me.

They would work on any system.  However, since they're currently being sold in Japan only, the cost to import one would probably equal the price for the controller itself.
