Question

the remote is kinda ghey

Answer 1

YA ok changed my answer to this


The Classic Controller
Although the Wii-mote and nunchuk attachment will be used to play most new Wii games, there will be exceptions to the rule. In fact, the team developing the Wii version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl has indicated that the title will probably not be compatible with the Wii-mote. Instead, the game will be played with a GameCube controller or, more likely still, the Wii's classic controller. This third controller will also be utilized to play the majority of Virtual Console titles, although Nintendo has indicated that the Wii-mote can be turned on its side for NES and SNES titles, too.

The classic controller is one part NES controller and one part GameCube pad, combing the shape of the former and the functionality of the latter. The classic controller features a D-Pad, two analog sticks, X and Y buttons, A and B buttons, two top-located Z buttons, and select (minus), home, and start (plus) buttons. The controller is plugged into the bottom of the Wii-mote and then becomes wirelessly available.

Developers uninterested in exploring the possibilities of the Wii-mote can as an alternative design their games to be compatible with the classic controller and in turn a more traditional gameplay experience. However, it is much more likely that the classic controller will be used for new 3D fighters and a huge library of Virtual Console games

Answer 2

The wii will feature 4 ports for gamecube controllers.

All the wired controllers will have the same connection plug, so you can use the wii's pad or a gamecube controller.

I don't know if the wavebird controller will work though...

If you actually try the "remote," and not go by its looks, you will find that it kicks serious @$$.
Nintendo is the most innovative gaming company and would not produce it if it didn't operate perfectly.

Answer 3

Yes it will.

You will be able to play any Gamecube game so the controllers will work. On the top of the Wii there is a little compartment, you open it up and there are four Gamecube controller ports as well as two Gamecube memory card ports. Yes, it will be compatible with Wavebird controllers, as well.

IGN has good info on the details I think.

Answer 4

I heard from a nerd that it will still be able to play with the gamecube one. The newer one unlike the remote/nunchuk is going to be smaller and look an awful like the super nintendo controller.

Answer 5

according to game informer, yes, u can use the gamecube controler for some games on the wii

Answer 6

Why does is matter than the controller doesn't look good? It's not like you're going to be starting at the controller the whole time.

Answer 7

i have been hearing that they are shipping with a gamecube joypad or something like that. i have seen pictures it looks like a skinnier version of the gamecube controller.

Answer 8

yes
