Ichinisan you always have all the cool gadgets, but then again a recent trip to Japan always helps.
I would probaby have a heart attack if I went to Japan, id be stuck between visiting Junkyards for my AE86 and hitting game shops
Yes. A trip to Japan helps.
My brother and I picked up a lot of the strange things we always wanted. We used to see all kinds of odd/cool Japanese stuff on Lik-Sang.com and play-asia.com back in the day when we were too broke to buy very much of it.
The Super Game Boy controller came from the trip in June. I had to clean the button contacts inside because it wouldn't work at all. Looks like they cut up multiple standard rubber pads to make them fit the button arrangement, so maybe that controller was pretty niche in Japan too. Hori probably wouldn't manufacture a huge run of them in that way.
I bought the GC Game Boy Player controllers way back when GameCube was current.
There's only one 6-button arcade fighting game on SNES CE, right?
Until it's inevitably hacked :-)
I think it will be hacked, but I also think it might require physical modification or disassembly.
Nintendo could simply leave the USB data pins disconnected and use only the power pins. That change alone would thwart 90% of the hacking because many people just don't want to take them apart.
Does "people who use the N64 but don't want a shit controller" count as niche?
Probably great for everything except Pokémon Puzzle League.
Pokemon Puzzle League isn't very good anyway. Just stick with the SNES one, myself
I do still keep original controllers if I need a good D-Pad. Dr Mario, Donkey Kong Arcade (DK64), Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2, there's a few
I have most of those HORI accessories but what I'm truly getting at is why is a known manufacturer of commercial Arcade quality hardware making a controller (wireless) on an emulator box? And why do people care at this point when we know exactly what the SNES classic is going to be already. If you haven't been living under a rock the last 20+ years you should already have all of these titles.
And on top of that for those who don't have these games worth investing in a controller for an offline non-upgradable (legally) console that will most likely like the NES Classic play games with noticeable input lag. ="Mindblown"

I was excited because I thought it was an SNES controller. Once I realized it was for the SNES CE, I lost all interest.

Hori made a ton of stuff like this for the Wii and earlier consoles. It seems that a lot of their current fan base thinks of them as a premium arcade stick maker when, in fact, they're just as much a DS replacement stylus and screen protector maker. Controllers have been their main racket for a longer time, of course, but not nearly all of them were high-quality arcade sticks. Pretty sure a lot of those GC Controller knockoffs for Wii U (with licenced character graphics) were Hori.

Ichinisan would agree except that neither the score nor the difficulty go high enough for him. Technically, neither does PPL since he can 1cc that on S-Hard and can max the score there too.
I read mixed reviews on that commander pad for the SNES Classic saying some people have problems with diagonals being detected often on it wrecking games that need clean 360 movement. Amazon is one spot with some easy to find comments about it.

its amazing how they are doing Controllers for niche stuff now
Now...
...and also then:

...and also then:
The Gameboy player wasn't a Niche market, Nintendo's brand of TV Consoles is.
This would be like Hori making an arcade stick exclusively for the Atari flashback

I think it’s very likely that Nintendo will sell far more SNES Classic Edition than Game Boy Player and Super Game Boy add-ons.

These controllers already exist for the og SNES/SFC. There is even a really swag looking gold variant.
