wii remote on VC question

[jackus]

can you use the wii remote for virtual console games or do i have to get one of those add on controllers?

You can use it for NES games, some Sega games and most TG-16 games. I prefer it on NES games you hold it side-ways like an old NES controller. You need the classic for SNES and 64.

It will also tell you which controllers work when you buy the game on the shop channel.

cheers pal, i didnt want to get some games and not be able to play them

If you have a gamecube controller that also works on almost all of them instead of the classic.

i dont have one but they mightbe cheaper, ill look around. always like to get a bargain

The gamecube controller would save a little money, but some of the controls aren't as nice on some of the VC games. In some cases, it's best to go ahead and get a classic controller.
I guess that only depends on what games you play and what style you like to play them.

It is possible but for mostly NES. Also, if anyone plans on getting Super Mario World, get the classic controller because the Gamecube remote is horrible on that game.

Since I had got my Wii, I used the GC controllers ( it was actually a no-name one from a department store .. ) and then I got a classic controller and it was SO MUCH better. If you are gonna be playing a lot of the VC games.. pick up a classic!
