It’s hard to get a Wii, but it’s almost as hard to find a Classic Controller. Now that the Virtual Console has some great classics available, it’s time to play them with the appropriate controller. Infendo is giving away one Classic Controller. To enter the contest, just send an email to contests@infendo.com with the subject “I WANT A CLASSIC CONTROLLER!” and tell us your name, city, and why you want a Classic Controller. Maybe you want to play Super Mario World without developing Wavebird Claw Hand or maybe you want to try fabricating your own Wii Remote connector. Don’t mess around, though. The contest ends Friday, February 23rd, 2007, at 4PM Eastern time. And yes, we’ll ship it internationally! Let us know why you want a Classic Controller and you might win!

One entry per person ONLY. Duplicates or trixie gamers will be disqualified.

[Note: Infendo writers and partners cannot enter this contest. Boo!]

  1. I snagged a Classic Controller from Walmart last week.. it was the last one on the shelf, but each time I go to Walmart they usually have 1 or 2 for sale. They are hard to find, but not as scarce as the darn Wii itself!!! I still cant find a Wii to buy! :(But I CANT WAIT to finally use the classic controller on the VC whenever I track down a Wii. Can't friggin wait!!! :>

  2. Nice contest, but Classic Controllers are not hard to find. Every single time I go to GameStop, Fred Meyer or EB Games hunting for Wii remotes and nunchucks, they never have them but they always have plenty of Classic Controllers.

  3. yeah, when i got to go to nyc, the nintendo world store had no wiis, wiimotes, or nunchuks, but had 4 entire shelves of classic controllers.

  4. *nods* The Walmart close to me had 3 or 4 classic controllers in stock. No Wiimotes or Nunchucks however. They did however have Wii straps in stock. Nice baby blue.

  5. Hopefully I'll win? My only controller is that long ass keyboard controller for the gamecube.

  6. Umm, I don't know where you live but in the DC Metro area, most stores have 20+ classic controllers.

  7. Yeah, same thing in Chicago: the Classic Controllers are usually the last Wii peripherial to go…I still want one, though!

  8. Wow, you guys are lucky. No stores near me carry the classic controller.My GameStop carries Wiimotes and numchucks, ironically, but no classic controllers.But it doesn't matter if they carry them or not, no matter where you live. Infendo is offering you the chance to win one for free, so I say take advantage of that (I know I did).
