Make a original snes controller to a wii classic one?

[Pikkon]

It sucks America never got this controller.

Oh well.

[L___E___T]

Why did America not get it and Europe did?  Odd...  Tempted to swap buttons on the Europe one to make it a US version.  You can buy them easily on eBay, but they're pricey. 
Just get one of those cheap as hell converters for a real SNES controller and spend a tenth the cost.

I'm willing to sell mine for ￥2000 + shipping in box if anyone wants to buy it. PM me if keen.

****EDIT: SOLD TO Pikkon****

An Atmega programmer costs a bit more however.

Oh I had no idea you could build it so easily!

[MarioMania]

Did Nintendo of Japan just Recycle old Super Famicom Controllers ..Build it to for the Wii?

It sure looks like it from the Case

I made USB SNES controller using that tutorial:

in the near future I'll make SNES controller to Wii using gamecube port:

or that version:

Do these SFC controllers emulate analog as well as the D-pad

[kiwidaveinjapan]

Just the d-pad. I was really sad when I discovered i couldn't play mariokart wii with mine.

Well I'm glad I'm going with a piiwee board instead of the official one its a lot cheaper and it can use both d-pad as well as analog on the SFC pad

[P]

If you look at the last link again you can see it does have analogic mode for snes controllers, mapping the left analogue stick on the classic controller to the snes d-pad. Playing games that uses the analogue stick with a digital d-pad might not be very practical though.

Speaking about analogues, he says it doesn't yet support the analogue features of the L/R buttons on the original classic controller for Gamecube controllers since he doesn't know any games that uses it. Is there even one game that uses it?

Two options I've found on eBay...

#1: Buy one of these and use all the parts (case, rubbers, buttons) from a Super Famicom controller to make it like one of the Club Nintendo ones

or

#2 (which I've had one of these before, before I traded it to a friend who didn't have the cash to buy one) use this with the Wiimote and you have an adapter for not only SNES/SFC but NES/Famicom controllers as well

or even a third option if you want to use Gamecube ports:
