Awesome NES/SNES wireless controller mod for Wii!

I just came across this story and video of a guy who turned his official NES and SNES gamepads into rechargeable, wireless controllers. He does say on his site that it costs about $50US for the parts to convert just one controller, but it might be worth it to those who'd prefer playing VC titles with the original controller.  Looks like it will work with GC games too since the reciever plugs into the GC ports.

For those not so technically inclinded (like myself), there is a company selling NES/SNES-to-GC adapters for $19 each. They're not wireless, but it is the easiest way to play VC games with the original controllers.  I haven't ordered anything from this site, so I have no idea if they are trustworthy or not.  I came across it from this article on N-Sider.com.

If you click the "buy" icon, it will take you to Paypal where the "19 coins" = $19

Honestly I don't see the point in converting a SNES controller considering the classic controller is nearly identical to the SNES one.hammer_of_thor_

Classic has a similar button layout as the SNES controller, but it isn't nearly as confortable, IMO.  This mod mostly is for old-school gamers who simply prefer to play their games with the original controllers.  This mod certainly isn't for everyone.
