It'd be awesome if this was an awesome for ultra-hardcore elitist gamers. Of course, it would be optional, because the Wii Classic already exists for the most of us out here.

It would be so much more logical just to put a Gamecube port instead of a remote port.
Even if it more awkward, I'd prefer the solution they're using now over being tethered to the console.

The cord connecting the wiimote to one seems to suggest that they aren't just for show, so I'll be very dissapointed if it turns out they were.
Post by: UncleBob on June 13, 2006, 02:57:46 PM
Because I'd have to buy five sets of these to play all the games correctly.

That's kinda what I figured they might do if this is actually true. Maybe, just maybe Video Game-only stores (Game Crazy, EBGames, etc..) could carry 'em, if there's enough interest in 'em.

Or Hori, maker of that damn cool GameCube Digital Controller.

LOL. I was thinking the exact same thing. The N64 controller with a Gamecube stick would be amazing.
But in general I would like to plug the classic controllers into the Wii. I have every system predating the Wii and a bunch of controllers for each so using those controllers without having to buy extras would be great. But if I have to buy a replica from every system to enjoy classic games in their true form I will.

With just slight modifications, like the stick and bigger c buttons and other details that scape me at the moment, the N64 controller could be perfect for any traditional game.

Guess I'll only need 4 of these instead of five... The Virtual Console concept has limits! It fails!
Post by: Spak-Spang on June 15, 2006, 05:37:13 AM
I would buy a couple of SNES controllers, and a couple of Nintendo 64 controllers easy IF the price is right.
The Nintendo 64 controllers are easily the most important controller that ends to be replicated because it is so different from every other controller made.
If prices weren't right I would probably stick with getting 4 of the Wii classic controllers, and a few Nintendo 64 controllers if I download a game that needs it.

Other than the Super Bomberman games, what games actually required five players simultaneously? I can't think of any...
There might have been the odd game that had a secret code to be entered on the Player 5 game pad, but still...I don't think it's a major loss...
Post by: Ian Sane on June 16, 2006, 07:01:35 AM
Madden and probably some other EA Sports games as well.
Post by: Spak-Spang on June 16, 2006, 08:07:44 PM
The only games I know for sure that allowed 5 were the EA sports games. But, those games weren't good with 5 players. It is actually quite silly to play sports games with more than 2 people.
But 5 players is crazy, because it means one time always has that 3rd human player advantage, that would just suck.
I also think that perhaps the Micromachine game/games for SNES allowed 5 players as well.

Anyway, I would LOVE to play VC games on retro controllers. I would at least buy one of each just becasue I would want the games to play and feel right.
Post by: UncleBob on June 17, 2006, 05:38:04 AM
Here's hoping that Saturn Bomberman game with 10 Players comes out on the Wii somehow.

But looking at pic the controllers dont look like their new shiny replicas but like old dirty controllers, and I already have a bunch of the old ones and I dont want to buy new ones just for the wii...

I could've sworn that LTB-B only supported 4 players. It was 2 on 2 basketball, where could a fifth player play? and an even better question, how would you plug in a 5th controller? A third multitap?

Can't speak for LTBB though...
