Paragraphs and punctuation, please. I was actually curious to read what you had to say.

I get the impression that it's decent enough for what it is. I'm happy enough with my RetroUSB NES adapter.

is the retro nes adaptor cool to have ???????????

Yeah, very cool. I have one for my Wii as well as a USB-one for my PC emulators. Works perfectly. Plus, you can use an NES controller with some other VC-system games like Sega Master System and TurboGrafix16 (as well as with some homebrew/emulators if you have your Wii hacked). I love using it in particular with my NES Advantage. I love that controller!

that sound cool.. nes controlles on the retro adaptor i bought work great . u can even use nes controller with other games like tg 16 master system and some gensis games as well.

Considering you can play NES games with a Wiimote similarly to the NES controller, I find that port pointless

u can play n64 games too wiht a n64 controller too... u can also play gamecube games with the n64 controller.... the anlog works wiht it...

N64 controllers suck anyway. The analog sticks break so easily

Yeah, i get that. Though i usually use it with the Advantage (yay good joystick! particularly enjoyable for my HBC emulators like Stella for Wii), it's more of a "sometimes i just prefer playing games with their original controllers" thing. Plus, i have big hands so sometimes prolonged use of the sideways-Wiimote can get uncomfortable.

the n64 stick does break easy i agree with that hhehehe.... that made me laugh when u said that .....i rember jumping on to my older brothers freind for playing a mini game in mario party use the anlong with his bear hands instead of his thumb ... i unplued the controller and got him a bad n64 controller to play wtih...

I'm fine with my current collection, thanks.

NES = Remote
SMS = Remote
Genesis = Classic Controller
SNES = Classic Controller
N64 = GameCube Controller

i got a gamecube controller and a classic controller... belive it or not i like the classic controller better for n64 games than than the gamecube controller..........it sounds werid dont it .... the wii remote is the best nes controller i have seen and the classic controller does make a great snes controller i have to agree.............

I mostly agree with this. Sometimes I use my Genesis-to-Gamecube adapter because some Genesis games feel awkward with either the CC or wiimote.

the 4 in one adaptor is pretty cool to have ........ i like the classic controller better but its still great to use the old controllers ....

I guess if you really, really have to have the old-skool feel, it can be fun. But I stick with the remote for my NES and TG16 games and the Classic Controller for all else. It's worked for me from day one.

Though it's kinda cute how you can use the real deal NES controller to play the WiiWare Mega Mans.

I'm happy with using the Wii Remote for NES, Classic Controller for SNES/Mega Drive and GameCube Controller for N64.

The games I have played all work best when I stick to this so I don't feel temted to buy such an adapter.

i just got the adpator to get it .... i admit my self i like the classic controller .......i even like the classic controller for n64 games as weird as it sounds......if u just want to use the old controllers its nice to have ..........

I would love a nice white N64 classic controller with rumble. Sure, all the games work with the GCN controller, but still, I'd shell out the cash for it, because that's just how I am.

I would love one of these adaptors and would really love playing VC games with their proper controllers but I just havn't got the room for more clutter near my TV plus I just can't go back to wired controllers . I still can't believe Nintendo and Sega haven't cottoned on to the idea of releasing wireless Wii versions of their retro controllers.I reckon they would sell out instantly.

wireless would be a good idea....... wires are mess at times..........
