Hi guys,

 

I am interested in getting an original Wii Classic Controller. I searched on this site but couldn't find any vendors selling it. Do you guys know where I can get an original one ? How much does it cost ?

 

I know there are quite a lot of fake ones. Wanna stay as far away from these as possible.

 

Also, I checked out a review at GBAtemp about the differences between the regular and a pro, but still am a little confused as to which one to get :rofl: I basically am getting it to play those sweet sweet SNES games :rofl: so may be I don't wanna miss out on that "SNES feel" the reviewer mentions :devil:

 

Anyhoo...so, any vendors here at GI or any place I could get a genuine original Wii Classic Controller ? and for how much ?

 

Thanx a lot for the help guys :devil:

I got mine from Shopto.....Official nintendo n works like a charm

 

Hi,

 

Thanx for replying. I read quite a few reviews and saw many video reviews of the Pro version, and am thinking of getting the Pro version. I checked out the shopto website, and it seems they don't have the Pro version.

 

Anyways, blitzkreiig, can you tell me how much they charged you for shipping it to India ? The regular classic version is prised at 14 pounds, converts to Rs. 1121/-. I have yet to add any shipping charges that they might charge.

 

I am also thinking of ordering the Pro version from Play Asia. This one....

 

Wii Classic Controller Pro (White)

 

It's costing me Rs. 1473/- with free delivery within India. I wanted to ask, are there any problems if I order from Play Asia. How good is this free shipping ?

 

Thanx a lot for your time :threatenlumber:

 

Edit: Also, does Play Asia provide a tracking number with their free shipping ?

shopto charges 3.5 pounds /delivery.....i think i got mine for approx 1400 all inclusive.

I saw the pro one at PA (Esp the black one looks sweet) but if you're going in for the SNES feeling then dont buy the pro one.

 

Rest's upto you, for me neither PA or Shopto have ever defaulted on a delivery.

Na, I'll go with the Pro one :threatenlumber: and since I have a White Wii, I was thinking of getting the white one <_< Can you tell me how much time it takes for stuff ordered from PA to reach us here in India ? I am reading the first few pages of the Play Asia Thread, and it's filled with horror stories :spank: but then again those posts were made in 2007. I'll read up more :majesty:

 

Edit: Oh and I called up a few game stores at Musafir Khanna. Most of them don't have a classic controller except Sony TV Games, and he's charging me 1300 for the regular one. He doesn't have Pro version.

PA takes about 12 working days.

 

Dude...look what I found....

 

Controller Adapter (PS2™ Pads on Wii™ Remote)

 

It clearly states that it's compatible with games that work with Wii Classic Controller, and it's Rs. 735. I also have a couple of PS2 controllers just lying around. What do you think ? :chair:

So this'll make the PS2 controller wireless as well....nice find.

Give it a try, 700 bucks wont harm much.

Ya, it would be A BLAST to play all those street fighter VC titles with the PS2 controller :( I've set my personal agent to notify me when it's becomes available. Lets see how it goes. If it doesn't become available within a week, I'll order the classic controller :chair:

I am not sure if u have alrady checked it .. There is another Site called Deal Extreme and it ships to india for free.. I heard on the other forums that its pretty reliable too ..

They have classic controller too

 

Hey thanx...

 

I'll go check it out :) I also emailed PlayAsia as to when the Controller Adapter (PS2™ Pads on Wii™ Remote) will be available, and they said...

 

Thank you for contacting Play-Asia.com.

 

I am sorry that the date for us to receive the stock again is still notconfirmed by our supplier. If there are any news, we would update our website.

 

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

 

Best regards,

 

Michelle

Play-Asia.com

 

Hmm....lets see how it goes :)

 

Edit: Okay, I checked out that website. All the Wii Classic Controllers (numerous) that website has are FAKE!!! It does not have a genuine one available. Many people were complaining that those controllers don't work with VC games. The VC game just doesn't recognize it as a Classic Controller. So I guess am better off ordering a genuine one from Play Asia. Will be doing that later tonight B)

 

Other than that, the rest of the stuff is really good, like the number of flash carts it has and their prices :D Might as well order a GBA flash cart for my little cousin :)

 

Thanx for the help guys :)
