$15 at target?

Just kidding.. looks good, except you can't use it on any real Gamecube games. Also, I've never used a 3rd party controller that I liked, minus the ASCII stuff they made for the SNES.. mmm Super Advantage. Now there's a damn fine joystick.

Wonder if I would be able to successfully play the Tony Hawk games using one of these. I always did like the SNES controller.

I can think of a handful of games (Sonic Collection for one) that this would be great with, I might pick one up just for nostalgia's sake... and the simple fact that I'll be getting a GameBoy Player for my b-day anyway...

This would be cool with the Game Boy games. I might have to pick one up.

definitely be cool with the GB games. Probably better than using the GBA as the controller.

IMO, they should have kept the SNES button layout (with no bean shaped buttons). Other than that, I think it's a good idea.

Seems like the perfect solution for those who don't like the analog stick in fighting games.

No C-stick or analog stick because it's only designed for use in games that can be played using only the D-pad.

www.ncsx.com

According to their site's news today, the controller was delayed from February 21 to March 21, which makes sense, because the GB Player isn't coming out until March 21 in Japan, anyway.

I ordered a black one from ncsx and the total came to around $30 with shipping. Ordering from lik-sang would have been around $27. Ordering from buyrite (heaven forbid) would have been $39.

Does anyone know if this controller is coming to the states, or should I just order 2 from Lik-Sang?
