DiemetriX Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 This image comes from EDGE magazine, with the suitcase being shown off during E3. Was this a suitcase put together just to demonstrate the backwards compatibility, thus making it purely for show? Nobody kows just jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatnickc Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I think EDGE got it wrong, as it looks like that is indeed just for show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I think EDGE got it wrong, as it looks like that is indeed just for show. dunno about that. why would ninty show off sega controls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 If they were just for show, why would they bother making a cable from the SNES controler to the Wiimote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
system_error Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 If they were just for show, why would they bother making a cable from the SNES controler to the Wiimote? Yeah why would they because you can't play with such a combination .... For me it is nothing more than a nice PR picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtle Squad Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Yeah why would they because you can't play with such a combination .... For me it is nothing more than a nice PR picture. What are u on about?!?! Nintendo could do whatever they wanted.. Anyway, I think it's just for show, there's already the Classic Controller for these, though I don't understand why there would be the wire if this was so. However, because of the Classic Controller I think this case was just to show all the different consoles involved in Wii kinda thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Yeah why would they because you can't play with such a combination .... Then why is the classic controller connected to the Wiimote in the same way? My point is, i don't see why they would make a new SNES controller (well, new calble at least) just to show to a mag, then forget about it. Its just a waste of money.

21st century cowboy Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I was thinking it was just too show off the 6 different system's games you can play on the Wii...but hang on a second where is the Gamecube controller! To me that indicates that the Wiimote (in the centre, as it's the thing that connects them all!) will hook up to all these and Nintendo will be reproducing these controllers. The Gamecube controller will not connect to the Wiimote as it can plug into the system, that's why it is not there. That's my theory anyway.

Shyguy Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I think this is just to showcase what the Wii can play ion its VC, it would not be smart for Nintendo to release all these controller seperatly, because it would cost soo much and would make Nintendo seem as though they are money grabbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanelia Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Aah, so that's what was in the pulp fiction suitcase.... "you ain't got no problem Jules. I'm on the motherfucker". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaijin von Snikbah Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Anyone else think the retro controller is a bit uncool? As in looking a bit uncomfortable to hold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 How do we know that the wire coming from the wiimote is actually going to the snes controller. it could just be a random wire, just to immitate that maybe[/] these can connect up, its just showing what consoles games will be playable is all i think really. Why would they do this, making the controlelrs conect up to the wiimote, then spend that money and time creating the 'classic' controller. It doesnt make sense, to me that is.

conzer16 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I think Edge just jumped on the speculation bandwagon with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Edge probably put some old controllers a suitcase and took a picture of it. The Wiimote seems photoshopped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harribo Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Edge probably put some old controllers a suitcase and took a picture of it. The Wiimote seems photoshopped in. You could be right because they didnt say that was a picyure of them and a picture would take away the private part. Also they dont look like prototypes anyway.

Hellfire Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Anyone else think the retro controller is a bit uncool? As in looking a bit uncomfortable to hold? According to hands on impressions, it's very comfortable, because it's small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 It's probably like holding a DS lite or GBA Micro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I think Edge just jumped on the speculation bandwagon with this one. I saw this image somewhere before the edge issue came out. Does it really matter though? It's likely that these will get made as people will want to use the old controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Then why is the classic controller connected to the Wiimote in the same way? My point is, i don't see why they would make a new SNES controller (well, new calble at least) just to show to a mag, then forget about it. Its just a waste of money. If any old Joe can buy them for £4 then I'd imagine its really not a waste of money for a multi-billion(or million) pound company who makes them anyway. Its just a wire, for all we know it was just glued on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 According to hands on impressions, it's very comfortable, because it's small. its a snes controller with anologue sticks.Snes=best controller of all time so it should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domo Kun Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 According to hands on impressions, it's very comfortable, because it's small. Really? I was worried about that! It looks horrible to hold. I don't suppose anyone knows if it moulds nicely into your hands at the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They (the people who held it) say that it holds more comfortable than the Snes controller because of the rounded underside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
