I'm not looking for another at the moment, I think I've spent enough on this stuff for now. I do have one of the proper white Wii Classic Controllers and there is nothing at all wrong with that, it;s a great controller. I will keep an eye out for another SNES controller though but I wouldn't pay the price that most people are asking for.
I've always been really fussy about controllers and would have probably been very happy buying one of the 8Bitdo controllers but I do absolutely love the SNES Classic. When the NES Mini was released I was looking through all our old Wii controllers hoping to find the SNES Classic and then I remembered that I'd sold it because people were paying a lot for them and I didn't think that I'd ever use it again.
It was a limited edition thing that Nintendo Japan and Europe did as Club Nintendo gifts. It was simply a matter of trading in stars for whatever gift you wanted, I didn't do it often so they built up over time and all I still have from that is a Game & Watch which is still boxed and only used once and a Mario Galaxy soundtrack double CD.
The controllers weren't available for long and I'm not really sure why the USA didn't also get them but thought that maybe it was due to the differences between the American controllers and the controllers in the rest of the world. They'd have to essentially set up a second production run due to the differently coloured and shaped buttons on the US version. The rest of the world went with the yellow, red, green blue button combination on a grey background whereas the US version was purple of some reason. I was never actually keen on the purple look.
Sorry, only just seen this comment. Ignore what I said.
Wow I look real stupid with stating this. I thought it was RA that was doing so, it was actually the classic edition receiver. Hmm I guess i need to wait for them to get firmware upgrade for this to work. dang I have bought soo many controllers now hah. I must find a way without spending more money again hah.
