Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Perfect controller for playing nes classic. Used it for the nintendo classic. Even if you have an older wii with gamecube ports, this is still a boon for snes gaming.

Despite the japanese packaging, this is the same as the american release which you can not get at retail anymore and goes for double on ebay. They are the correct sensitivity and they connect perfectly. The chinese do not work to glitchy, these japane...  Read More



Cons

It reacts slowly and lags behind a regular wii remote. Haven't found that secret, yet.

Quality


Its made by nintendo and is of excellent quality.


Works great , the home buttons works as the reset button for the nes classic (mini)


The home button even works to return to the main screen!


I hate buying generic controllers because the buttons feel cheap, the joysticks wear out and get loose, and they never feel right.

Price


Great price for the same exact controller.


The price that nintendo wants is ridiculous since it is a wired controller without rumble.


Price has since gone up since i ordered, otherwise i would have ordered a second controller for my nintendo nes classic.


Or get the japanese club nintendo snes controller classic, but good luck paying for that.

Shipping


I was also worried about how long it would take to get here but it came with two day shipping from amazon.


Searched it, found it, payed for it, got it in about a 8 days as advertised.

They do come in japanese packaging, but they're still the exact same controllers made in the same factory as the us market.


The hardware is exactly the same, the only difference is the language on the packaging.


Even though the box is japanese, the controls are readable in english.

Competitiveness


We purchased this controller for compatibility with donkey kong country.


It is identical to the one that i've had for years.


These are half as much as the us version and the only difference is the box.


The classic controller pro has a few improvements over its predecessor, the classic controller.

    It works beautifully though i wish it had rumble


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The only difference in this product from the usa version is the box which has japanese writing on it instead of english


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The japanese market wii classic controller pro is packaged with japanese text and has a japanese manual but other than that the controller itself appears to be indistinguishable from a north american market pro controller


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Even if you have an older wii with gamecube ports the pro controller is still a boon for snes gaming


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Gamecube controllers will work with all wii virtual console games and are okay for n64 games but some snes games are painful


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This isnt an issue with a snes controller but becomes an ergonomic nightmare with the gamecube button layout


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Donkey kong country isnt impossible to play with a gamecube controller but its nearly there
