WARNING! Be very careful with doing this mod because you might wreck your nunchuk/classic controller.

I haven't needed to try this, but I hear a washer or circular piece of cardboard taped around the stick works well too.

I kid you not, the game feels just like the old Saturn days with this mod, and I'm very happy with the nunchuk configuration now. Thanks to wocko for the linkage

So what to do? Should I wait until SEGA releases a controller attachment that replicates the Saturn's 3D control pad, or should I just mod the Nunchuk... or my WaveBird perhaps? Either way, I would like to see it in action.

Ah, so it is the controller after all. The game still has the same all-directional flight as the original, it's just that the octagonal groove around the analog stick restricts NiGHTS to eight directions.

If you have the proper tools, I recommend doing the mod on a newly purchased nunchuk as viperxmns and myself have done.... I haven't seen his work in person yet, but I'm willing to bet he's happy with the mod as well

To IGN: Stiff controls???? It was Nintendo's stupid analogue stick design, damnit. After that mod was done, most people found it FELT like the Saturn original.

I'll pay someone ten shiny British pound to do this to my nunchuck. I'll literally make sure the pounds a GLEAMING too.
What's the equivelent of that in US dollars? Because I'm ready to pay... but I don't live in the UK. No pounds here. I've got about 35 dollars on me....

edit: Kuri refused to let me anywhere near the Wiimote, and I realized I don't have the tools to do the mod anyway . So I did the cardboard thing instead. Doesn't look too pretty, but it plays great.

I think $10 USD (that's about 5 pounds) + whatever shipping costs are involved would be more than enough... The problem is that I live in New York, so if you're living overseas, it might cost a bit to have shipped both ways :/
I'd take much more time with other people's nunchuk's then my own, and make it look and feel as professional as possible
I'll talk to viperxmns and see if he would be interested too.
EDIT: It might make more sense for overseas people to let us buy one here, mod it, and then ship it to you.... though I have no idea how much it costs to ship a nunchuk in the first place, or even if a US nunchuk would work with a non US wiimote

I don't know anything about the gamecube's internal mapping which is why I didn't go any further with this myself. Good luck though!
EDIT: Someone did a conversion from saturn controller to xbox360--

If you were talking about the saturn controller though--
@Dailight: You mean the nunchuk mod? Any pic is better than none.... even if it's a camera phone pic

What tools did you use?
How did the job come out?
Any complications along the way? (viperxmns can tell you about those )
Stuff like that

I guess you can give us a written recap on your modding adventure at least.

Ok, written decription. I used an eyeglass screwfdriver to take it apart, then used a dremel tool to mod it. I used very VERY VERY fine grit (like, a bajillion grit) sandpaper to smooth it out. I had a few complications, including I cracked the face of the nunchuck so now my nunchuck has a crack on the back of the faceplate (It was only, like, a scratch so it didn't break it or anything) and then for a little while it didn't work. I mean, the nunchuck itself broke. Not working. I was like AGH DAMN IT! But then I took it back apart, blew the forgotton dust off the insides, and put it back together and it works nice now. It's a little lop-sided but I get stiff and very cold when I'm working with power tools so it came out in sort of a lop-sided oval shape. It works pretty much the same though.

Both viperxmns and I noticed a big difference, so that would surprise me...

The main tips are for now:
Have 2 Nunchucks before attempting this Mod
If you screw up you can still play your Wii, and if you succeed, you may find that the octagonal hole will be handy for some games. It's worth having one modded and one not.
Get a Tr-Wing screwdriver
I got mine from eBay about a year ago for £5. I've heard people have used flatheads, but this just sounds scary to me, it's possible to ruin the screws this way and then never be able to get them out.
Get both a cone and ball shaped grinders
The cone is great for making a nice deep punch through hole, the ball is nice for cleaning up, or if you're not so skilled. The pair cost £1
Get the finest wet and dry you can buy
35p for a sheet for grade 600. Perfect for smoothing down after grinding to leave a smooth finish
And more images...
Hope that helps.
