It can be identified by the six bytes 00 00 A4 20 03 10. Externally, this controller is similar to the PlayStation 2 version of the Shinkansen Controller, except it's white and the screen has been replaced by a sticker. The Wii version of the Shinkansen Controller demands higher prices than the PS2 version due to its rarity. However, the only game that works with it also supports using a Wii Remote on its side, a Nunchuk, or a Classic Controller.
