You Can Use PlayStation 2 Pads On Your Wii U, Should You Want To

Wow! That's so random.

random but great! haha

LOLWUT

Makes perfect sense to me when you consider the fact that Playstation will be completely phased out soon.

Its always odd when you encounter other peoples tastes. I prefer both the Wii Pro controller and the Wii U Pro Controller to the Playstation models.

I'll take seven.

Neat.

Eh, I'm actually happy with my Classic Controller Pro to be honest

I'll leave my PS controllers with my PS3

Whoa. There's something you don't see or hear about too often.

Awesome!

This is awesome news! I have a dual shock 2 and a digital PS1 controller that would be great for VC games. I also have a USB adapter that works wonders using a PS controller for emulator use.

Why is this news? I bought one of these in 2009.

lol that is so wrong in many levels xD

but yeah wouldnt this have come out along time ago o.O or is this a new version or the cable?

classic controller pro is the best controller

This would be great if the ps2 controller wasn't so awful to use. Those things are way too small.

I have an adaptor (Mayflash brand) that lets you use original nes and snes controls with the wii/wii-u. By far one of the best things I've purchased for the wii.

@AbeVigoda that sounds great, love to play VC games with a SNES controller...classic

Wow...Just wow

I'll take 20

Why do I want this thing now?

Why would you want to? Playstation controllers are the worst controllers ever invented. Flat buttons, soft analog sticks in the MIDDLE OF THE control pad, jerky d-pad, weird bumpers... no.

@AugustusOxy: This accessory is so odd I want it, even though I hate the Dualshock.

Weird...?

I like the PS2 controller!

The Wii's classic controller pro was excellent and so comfortable to hold so I don't know why they changed the button placement for the wii u pro controller.

In my humble opinion the Dual Shock controller is the worst in gaming history. I'd personally rather play games on the Jaguar monstrosity, the original 2600 or the Intellivision disc-pad thing. Dual Shock angers my blood.

Now if only they can make an adapter that let's you play Wii/Wii U games with an Xbox 360 controller, because a 360 controller is so much better then a PS controller.

I wouldn't be suprised if they make GameCube controller ports for those dedicated Melee and Brawl players.

For a second I thought the title said you could use the wireless PS3 controller on the Wii U. Now that would have been something. Plugging a PS2 controller into a Wii Remote sounds like too many wires and peripherals dragging on the floor. Meh!

I did not see that coming.

@AugustusOxy First off, they are fantastic controllers, and your telling me the N64 controller if better?

I'd be very surprised if something like this were brought to NA. Not likely at all.

Where's the GameCube adapter? GC controller is best controller - never thought I would ever be saying that, but after playing mainly VC n64 games on the wii, I'm hooked

Missing the boat with not making a GC one. Wonder if there is an Xbox fat controller converter?

Weird, but a very good idea. Just about every single gamer has at least one PS2 controller laying around somewhere. I know I have at least 3, and I don't even own a PS2 anymore.

Now if they can do the same thing with the GameCube controller...

I'd rather they do this with the Gamecube controller, too. I used those a lot on the Wii. They're the best (normal) controllers around if you ask me!

@Yosher same here, i would rather have the gamecube controller

Don't have to buy new controllers? Sweeet

Hopefully this means PSOne VC on 3DS and WiiU, PSP on 3DS, and PS2/3/V on WiiU

@AugustusOxy Actually if you have a Madcats Dual Shock. Its more durable and survived when I was playing Kingdom Hearts, unlike the original PS2 controller. LOL.

Playstation does have some of the best controllers.

Pass. The Playstation controller is awful, from the bad analog stick placement to the cheap feel and non-existant heft. This would be a huge step down for me.

But the turbo button is for n00bz!

Ya, this is an old product, bur probably not as widely known or marketed like this is. I don't have need for this, even if I did have PS1/2 controllers. That's just because I already have 2 classic pro controllers, but if you have PS controllers, than I could see people wanting it just to not buy more Nintendo controllers. Should have had a bluetooth feature for the PS3, or other wireless controllers that use bluetooth too...

@HarmoKnight LOL, what? This is from a some random company. Why would this, in anyway, imply PS games on a Nintendo product?

What a disgustingly beautiful creation <3

Yes I still have my Playstation 2.

...I was not aware tat the PS2 controller is apparently worse that the Jaguar controller. ._.

The ps2 has the best controller I've ever used.

I'd buy it

Could this cause legal problems? I'd rather have a GameCube controller adapter though.

The PS2 controller is by far the most comfortable and well-designed controller ever built.

So this is a good thing.

Since the Wii u supports usb devices, does that mean I can also connect my cheap controller I formerly used on my PC?

@SheldonRandoms
Just so you know. The Wii U Pro controller is built very much like the 360 controller.

@Henmii
Depends on whether the controller's drivers are compatible with the Wii U, which I imagine is unlikely, but you never know.

Wonder how long it will be before Sony tries to get this pulled from shelves?

This is pretty cool. The DualShock is such a great controller and the true evolution of the great SNES controller. Plus, PS2 controllers should be fairly cheap if you can find some.

Does the Wii Remote give off enough power for a wireless controller to work?

I just got a convertor for my PS1 Dualshock to USB for PC games. They're great controllers.

@AbeVigoda
agreed dude, best accessory you can buy for the Wii is that Mayflash NES/SNES controller adapter, beats paying $65-$80 for a Club Nintendo Super Famicom Wii controller on eBay.

I got 15 Super Famicom controllers from Japan for $60 plus a Mayflash for $15, I'm set for VC gaming

Only in Japan would you find something like this.

I've actually never bought a pc controller, I prefer using my ps3 ones, now I could use them, well the ps2's, on a Nintendo console, instant buy.
But agree with @Firejonie # 54.

I want one with GameCube.

@biggsydaboss

Thanks for the answer!
