Cube Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Classic Controller Grip: Sports Stuff: Stand With Lights: Controller "grip"
christophicus Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 I think they look a bit bulky. They should have just modified the gc controller a bit.
Happenstance Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Doesnt look like anything I would buy but as long as theres a none pink version of the wiimote grip that may actually be helpful for the more animated wii users
motion Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 As nice as the classic controller is, I think it was a little odd for Nintendo to shape it the way they did without GC/sixaxis style hand grips.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 That glowing stand is heavenly. Are all of these Nintendo products or just from a 3rd party?

Fierce_LiNk Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 From the looks of that stand, you will only fully appreciate its glowingness if you can see the side of the stand.
Samdecahedron Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 The problem with 3rd party stuff is that it seems to want to fill a gap that isn't really there. No-one thought 'i need a stand with lights in', but they make them anyway. Plus, they always break. I'm still upset about that 3rd party N64 controller i bough that broke within 2 days.

The upside is that 3rd party stuff is usually cheaper than the original stuff. You'll be hardpressed to find a 3rd party controller more expensive than the official controller. Third parties also make changes that the original companies wouldn't dare to change. Such as altering the shape of a controller, button placement, stick types, that sorta thing. They also create stuff that Nintendo etc can't be bothered to make, novelty stuff.

I'm just a fussy Ba***** though, i like all my stuff nice and official. Oh well, as long as you're happy, i don't mind really. I just have this weird hatred of 3rd party stuff.

I just have this weird hatred of 3rd party stuff. I agree mostly with what you're saying, it's usually better to have the nice official stuff. Although, I did own some lovely third party memory cards for the Gamecube. My Mum was out shopping the one day and came back with about 4 or 5 memory cards, all brand new and sealed, third party, and they cost about a quid or two each. I looked at her and thought "what have you just wasted your money on?!" This was about 2 years ago, and they still work to this day. Haven't had a single problem with them. They store a stupid amount of blocks each, which is great because the official Nintendo ones weren't overly amazing, and were quite expensive. On the downside, I did have an N64 third party pad, and it played what can only be described as cancer.

I got a 3rd party NES controlller which broke at least 3 times and I had to take it back each time.

Had about 6 different third party memory cards for my cube and all of them at one point or another became corrupt and lost all the saves.
Kurtle Squad Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I was gonna post a thread about the about the classic controller grips, but I couldn't be bothered. I REALLY don't get why Nintendo didn't make the Classic Controller more like the controller+grips anyway.
Saminthehat Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Oh come on this is way better. Although it isn't mass produced. http://www.joystiq.com/2007/02/19/diy-nintendo-wii-classic-controller-clip-holds-your-wiimote-so/
Flaight Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I'll like them if they're usable. But I like the looks! I think that wiimote + classic controller docking is neat. Clumsily neat
