Coming soon to a Wii near you!

Sometimes, you come across a Virtual Console game that you just don't think fits snugly onto a Classic controller or a GameCube pad. I've had this problem with Sin and Punishment myself; I hate the Cube controller for it, and the Classic feels weird to me with it's too-close nubs.

Peripheral company Innex thinks it may have a solution for you. See, instead of shoving a game onto a controller it wasn't designed for, or if you just want that authentic feel, you might want to check out the 3-in-1 Virtual Retro Adaptor announced today.

Said to use the GameCube ports, the adapter allows Virtual Console-compatibility with NES, SNES and N64 pads, but no word on whether you could use your N64 pad in, say, Mario Kart Wii.

Similar solutions already exist for computers, but it's nice to see someone take the initiative for VC.

Innex plans on unleashing the device in mid-June for $20 bones U.S. More details are (again) promised for E3. The full press release is below.
