Super Nintendo controller for Wii, or, you win again, Japan

There's something thoroughly unsatisfying about playing Super Mario World with a GameCube controller. It just doesn't seem fair to be holding such advanced technology over the plumber's head.

That's why I'm jealous of Japan (yes, the entire country) for having access to this incredible controller. Behold.

No fair. I want to be able to play with my old Super Nintendo controller! Come on Nintendo! Why must you always make a grown man resort back to his days as a 5-year-old.

If you have a Japanese Wii and want to spill $75, head this way. Otherwise, keep pouting and perhaps Nintendo will do as you command (unlikely).
