One of the Wii’s strengths is its ability to handle retro games thanks to the Virtual Console feature, and instead of using the Classic Controller to duke those out in your living room, we would say the experience is not as authentic as using the original controllers themselves. Komodo realizes that this is a marketing opportunity, coming up with the Retro Adapter that allows you to play with original NES, SNES and N64 controllers on all Wii Virtual Console games. As for the adapter itself, it looks pretty much like a miniaturized Nintendo 64 console, featuring a trio of female ports for each system. There will be an official announcement on the Komodo Retro Adapter at E3 later this year, and we speculate a $20 price point when it arrives.
