Why don't they just make it work on its own?  Having to hookup a Wiimote in order to play VC titles is so dumb.

I agree.  That why I usually use my wavebird when playing VC games.  The Wiimote weights down the CC.  Sucks cause I actually like the CC.

Probably a couple reasons, but I'd guess the biggest one is so that they can have it be wireless.  Building a wireless transmitter into it would make it much more expensive to produce, especially when it's guaranteed that everyone who owns the system already has a wireless transmitter they can connect it to (the Wiimote).  Although I agree it would be cool if they could make a wireless SNES pad for the system.

I guess you're still not used to the sensation of a wii hanging low and slappin against your legs. Man up Rman! Just tuck the Wii in your pants and it should make things more comfortable to play with. That is unless, you play in the nude.   :-X

this will be 1000 times better than the Classic controller, which is worse than the Jaguar's pad with digits

one problem though, from what i read at gaf it's the same as the classic controller, meaning you attach it to the wiimote and not the console.

as where to buy it:

I thought it was limited edition? Is it going into wide release or is it going to be $100+ on that site when it comes out?

No.

the classic controller is so bad, I can't believe Nintendo approved it, the ergonomy is all fucked

You mean how the dpad and left analog are in the wrong place? It's ok since its primarily for 2D games.

I know he didn't mean what I said :lol

Isn't it the same size as the SNES controller? I don't know why anyone thinks it's worse than that one. The curve on the back is kind of weird but doesn't really change much.

Currently it is only available through Club Nintendo, the Japanese-only point redemption system (you get a code with every Nintendo game you buy, you redeem it on the website, you build enough points up to buy something you want).  Not sure if the importers are just speculating that it will get a retail release, or if they have some kind of inside info that hasn't made it out to the public yet.

Its ok IMO as they dont have to build wireless shit into the pad, thus lowering its price

The wireless component doens't cost that much money.  There was a Time or Newseek article which showed that Nintendo made a shitload of money on the Wiimotes.

Then it should be $10, same with nunchuk. Especially nunchuk.
