Nintendo sure is making some weird interface choices.

That doesn't seem like their typical behavior...

That's good enough for me.

I guess what bothers me is that if you want to play a GC game, you have to have two controllers on your lap.
I'm picky, I know. I'm trying to deal with it.

My friend brought his Wii (lol, still cracks me up) over the other day, and he had a Classic Controller which is meant for the Virtual Console stuff. Now on inspection of this, it actually has the same amount of buttons as a Gamecube pad, so we put a Cube game in and tried it out. Unfortunately, the Wii will only reads from the Gamecube contoller ports, or so it seems. I really like the feel and build of this new controller, but if it's only useful for a Virtual Console stuff, then it's a total waste of a good design concept if you ask me.

That is a bummer.
He should count himself lucky though -- I hear those Retro controllers are just as hard to find (if not harder) than the consoles.
I hope they fix that in a future firmware update.JC wrote:racketboy wrote:metaleggman wrote:Ya, but you have the wiimote for navigating through the wii menus. Y'know that zhiny white thing that came in the box? You can still use the Wavebird as a controller though in GCN games.

Go to play-asia. They have tons of VC controllers and nunchucks. No wiimotes. and they are all regularly priced too.Ramatut4001 wrote:Actually, there's already a five player game on the VC, Bomberman '93. I've not been able to find any extra wii-motes, nunchucks or classic controllers yet myself. I still feel lucky to have a Wii at all.
