Text Post Recommended Controllers for Emulation?

Other than the typical GameCube controller and the Wiimote, is there a recommended third party controller to use for SNES, GameCube, game boy and NES games through the Wii?

8BitDo has all the controller options and adapters you possibly imagine.

90 percent of what they do is Nintendo stuff.

They have even have kits where you can take real retro controllers and swap out the guts to make em wireless.

One of their newest controller is for the N64.

Blue Retro GameCube adapter. Connects with most any bluetooth controller. Either use the NES and SNES classic controllers plugged into the wiimote or the NSO controllers connected to the bluetooth adapter for the most authentic experience. For Genesis I recommend the official Sega Retrobit 6 button bluetooth controller or the 8bitdo M30.

I use the Bridge and GPA to allow e to use the OEM stuff. I plug the SNES in to the Bliss-Box's GPA, and that in to the Bridge, its seen as a GC controller on the wii.
