Have a classic console that's collecting dust?  Maybe you still play it but you're looking to replace those worn out controllers?  Maybe you just want to go wireless and can't track down the wireless controllers that were released when the system was still on the market (such as the Acclaim Wireless Controller for the NES).  Well, Innex Inc. has a solution for you.

At E3 this year Innex Inc. will be debuting a new line of wireless controllers for the NES, Super NES, N64, and Sega Genesis, all manufactured by Retro-Bit.  Each controller will cost $29.99, have the capabilities for auto and turbo fire, and will be released either in the summer (N64) or fall (NES/SNES/Genesis) this year.  The NES/SNES and Genesis controllers will also feature a built in rechargeable battery (the N64 controller requires 3 AAA batteries) and can also be connected to a PC or Mac (the N64 controller cannot).

While I couldn't find any info yet on their site, you can check out more of what Retro-Bit has to offer over at www.innexinc.com.
