We all have long anticipated the arrival of Nintendo's newest team member the WII-U, but for our pleasure the monsters at EB Games have made us a gift, the SNES style Wii-U controller. The idea behind this innovative concept is retro meets the future.  Again much like McFly.  A lot of gamers were created, yes we were created back in the 90's when systems really took off.  Is was the golden era of gaming and 2D ruled the streets like 2 PAC and Biggie ruled the rap industry. 
   This controller was released in Australia for its debut and the price was fair enough that when it hits the American market we can be sure it wont kill our pocket books.  The issue is the fact the controller is a third party or UN-official Nintendo product therefore there is always the risk it may not be compatible. The idea here is that every system can be copied and have its products imitated because the Wii-U's controllers are essentially the same as this one only this third party controller is available before the release of the Wii-U. 
   So the criticisms are that this controller may cause discomfort over an extended period of time, other than that it appears to be what we have all seen time and time again, another reproduction.  But hopefully this controller will meet our expectations of an affordable, wireless, compatible remote for our player 2's when they come over for chips and dip, instead of buying the retailers version for double the amount.  Oh and did I mention it has a SNES controller smooshed in the center of it?

Wii U controller gives the desire to have, has to play SNES game

This does not give me much nostalgia, as I was born in 2003. But with Vizzed, I happen to know what the NES and the SNES is. Yeah, that does look weird, as if a SNES controller was designed like that, So, yeah. It looks nice.
