So I pick up SSS last night, finally happy that there's a decent shooter on the virtual console.
I sit down with my arcade joystick (a PS2/Xbox/GCN one made by Nuby), plug it in, and expect some nice relaxing annihilation of aliens.
.... and, nothing. Apparently, the TG16 emulator doesn't register the D-pad on the GCN controller, only the analog stick. This sucks even more, as I was planning on using my Hori GCN gamepad as a 5th bomberman controller.
I managed to send some notice to Nintendo through the byzantine support site, but I'm not optimistic that anything is going to happen.
:-\

The vendor (who I bought the game from) in this case is the Wii store, which is Nintendo.

I'm pretty sure you know what he meant.

I don't quite understand all of the virtual console bitching that's been going on lately. Nintendo never said the GameCube controller would work with all VC games. Nintendo never said they'd make any upgrades to the games. Nintendo never said they'd release the true arcade versions of games (like Donkey Kong) on the virtual console - yet everyone has found a reason to complain anyways. Why not complain about the lack of worthwhile games on the VC or the fact that the only game I was looking forward to between launch and the end of the year has inexplicably disappeared from the VC list of upcoming releases (Donkey Kong, Jr.).
Sorry guys - just needed to vent.

The Classic Controller works fine for TG16 games. I suggest using the Wiimote, if the smaller D-Pad bothers you, pick up a Classic Controller.

Rhoq, it's not about what was or was not promised by Nintendo, it's about using common sense to make a quality product.

That's what I plan on doing -- cramming the classic controller into an n64 pad =)

Please take pics of the process and the finished product. That just sounds awesome.

If you can manage to do this... I would be interested in buying one of these from you!
*EDIT* - Hey, I just played some of Bonk's Adventure with my Hori Digital Controller (using, of course, the D Pad) and it worked fine...

GameCube + D-Pad + Star Soldier = WIN
Yeah, it works. Something's wrong with your pad dude. On the subject of the d-pad.....I made a post in the other VC thread.
