Topic: So the Classic Controller can Be used to Navigate Wii Menus

I really did not know this could be done, color me suprised. Strap on your Classic Controller to the Wii Remote and use the control stick to move the hand, A to select, L/- to Flip channels left, R/+ to flip right.

By the way, this also works without plugging in the sensor bar, so this is perfect for gaming on the go.

I don't have a wii classic controller yet.  Can someone who has one tell me if its worth getting, if I still have a gamecube controller and hori contoller?

If you are using those two, about the only reason to get one is if you crave a good d-pad on a wireless controller.  If the wires don't bother you, then you're pretty much set.

Although I heard that Super NES games used by a Gamecube controller will hardly be playable. Europeans may have tried Donkey Kong Country with a GCN pad and noticed the B button for the SNES is mapped to...the B button on the Classic Controller, which means the same thing for a GCN pad: the B button. and the Y kidney button is to run.

Very silly Nintendo, very silly.

I love the Classic Controller.  I think it may be NIntendo's best traditional controller.  The analog stick feels even better than the Gamecube controller, and playing Super Mario 64 you really feel the difference.

Classic Super Nintendo games that use the Shoulder Buttons will be much more playable with the Classic controller than the Gamecube.  The reason being is that the Shoulder buttons are just better.  

And the final most important reason is that the Classic Controller D-Pad is fantastic.  It is huge, comfortable and feels perfect.  It will be a must for all true classic gamers.

So in my opinion it is not only worth getting.  I am getting 4 of them for the eventual slew of 4 player games on SNES and N64.

The silly thing is you can't use the classic controller with GC games.  Come on Nintendo patch this capability in and let us the flash memory for GC saves too.

It's not possible.

I don't see how they can get you to save using the flash memory...but I am betting Nintendo is trying to solve the problem of classic controllers not working...it may not be possible, but I still believe Nintendo's top technicians are working on that very problem.
