Picture of the retro controller adaptor for Wii

by Jeromy on May.21, 2009, under N64, NES, SNES, Wii

The adapter itself resembles that of a Nintendo 64 console and has three female ports for each system. It connects to your Wii via an open GameCube port. What’s even better, the Retro Adapter will work with both first- and third-party accessories, so that no-name Nintendo 64 controller you have laying around may just do the trick. In case you’re wondering, yes, you’ll be able to use an analog control on the N64 controller as well.
