Retroport Adapters

[MarioMania]

I just ordered the SNES retroport for the Wii, Well it's for my Gamecube

I got 2 USB NES retroports from USB..quiet good..

Now they have Genesis, Master System & TG-16 on VC..I wonder if Bunnyboy going to do Adapter for those systems

Seems like only Nintendo Retroports for the Wii is getting Loved

There are homemade adapters you can buy off tech-savvy people, but on the whole the only ones that Retrozone plan to sell are the NES and SFC adapters. I recall reading that they don't plan on selling Sega compatible porducts because they think they wouldn't sell.

Personally, this isn't the first time I've heard of this kind of thing. There's a local used game shop chain (has a few stores spread out, but nothing nationally or even province wide) that sells all kinds of used games from NES to 360 and PS3 games. They don't sell anything Sega at all; no Master System, Genesis, GameGear, SCD, Dreamcast games, systems or accessories.

Unfortunately, when it comes to classic gaming now, most people think of Nintendo rather than Sega.

False. http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=69

Sure it's just a generic 9-pin connector, which makes me wonder why he's selling different ones claiming to be for different systems that all have 9-pin inputs.

I'm talking about on the Wii to play Genesis/Master System games with the Genesis/Master System Pads..Same goes for the TG pad

Oh, didn't realize that.  I can see where he's coming from then.  Even though there are more titles for either of those systems than the SNES, not nearly as many are as popular as those 51 titles released on the SNES.  It would only be a very small fraction of the already small market his website appeals to.

Right. Retrozone is big and they dont want to chance stuff that wont sell. However, I've heard good things for a fellow canadian who does offer a Genenis-to-Wii adapter. Check it out here:
