Nintendo's Wii Classic Controller already had a bit of a retro vibe to it. Its decidedly Super Nintendo-inspired design certainly fits with the fact that the controller is primarly used to play old-school games from Wii's virtual console. Now, fans of those timeless titles have a little bit more to get nostalgic about as import site Play-Asia has begun selling versions of the peripheral which are perfect replicas of the Super Famicom (the Japanese designation for the Super Nintendo) pad of old.

The limited edition controllers, which retail for the enthusiast-only price of $75, were previously only available to members of Club Nintendo which, until December of 2008, was not available to anyone from North America. This means that very few non-Japanese gamers have had a chance to lay hands upon one of these classics. If you really have your heart set on snagging one, better move fast, as there's no telling how many are available.
