The adapter itself resembles that of a Nintendo 64 console and has three female ports for each system. It connects to your Wii via an open GameCube port. What’s even better, the Retro Adapter will work with both first- and third-party accessories, so that no-name Nintendo 64 controller you have laying around may just do the trick. In case you’re wondering, yes, you’ll be able to use an analog control on the N64 controller as well.

Jeromy — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 01:16:16 +0000

“This was done for an [materials & processes] class I took last semester. The project was to reverse engineer a product and examine with what and by what means it was made. Instead of pasting the parts up on a board and labeling them, I thought this was a better way to present this particular product. It also has a nice sculptural appeal, I feel.”
