The controller is now available from ThinkGeek's website for $29.99.

With that.... We need Super Mario Bros for iOS
The controller is roughly the size and layout of a classic NES controller, with an extra pair of A/B buttons on the right side and two shoulder buttons.
Yawn. Nostalgia is great, but let's see a real, modern controller. The iPad has been begging for one since it was released.
I think a controller that kind of plugs in around the iPhone would be amazing personally.
I mean games like GTA III have the potential to be so good on the iPhone, but the touchscreen controls are just absolutely horrid for games like that, at least imo. I mean don't get me wrong I love touchscreen on my phone, but I just wish there were something that you could put on your iphone that would turn it into a psp-type thing for when you want to play on games that would be better suited to physical controls rather than touchscreen.
Why someone hasn't created such a device and just took it to a company like rockstar to sell the idea to them I have no idea, I mean I would create plans and stuff myself if I had the knowledge.
too bad the big N wont license them out :-/
Nintendo needs to just stop with the madness. I honestly think many people(older heads) could reconnect with the brand by porting old games like the original Mario to iOS.
Get off your high horse Nintendo.
Why not just say that it's the same as the SNES controller.

Why the hell would Nintendo lisence their games to a competing product?

Exactly. We have a super nintendo in the break room at the office and everyone between 26 and 36 are constantly playing it.

It means money. They could re-release all the old top 8 and 16 bit titles and rake it in 99 cents at a time. (minus 30% of course)
Nintendo has already rereleased their old 8 and 16 bit titles for download. On their systems.
Which makes them absolutely $0 from iOS purchases. Move it to iOS, rake in 4.99 a game. Or bundle all marios for $9.99. 1 million downloads, thats a cool 7 million.

But now with the iPhone 5 and the 5th generation iPod touch they'd need to redesign it to fit the Lightning connector and the new location for the audio jack.
