I prefer this simpler explaination

u/calicollegeent · 17 pointsr/funny

Wii classic controller. here

u/Enkaybee · 5 pointsr/wiiu

Grip handles? There were two models of the classic controller: the Classic Controller and the Classic Controller Pro. Those grips aren't detachable.

u/CedarMadness · 5 pointsr/Games

Wii Classic Controller (or the Classic Controller Pro, which I haven't used, but it looks more comfortable.) with one of these adapters. It plugs the classic controller directly in to USB, so no wiimote, bluetooth, glovePIE, etc is required. It even supports 2 controllers at once so you can co-op some Battletoads without having 2 adapters.

u/nerplicks · 4 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

that was just to browse the dev environment. they used a classic wii controller for that. perhaps it might be possible if there's ever homebrew, otherwise it's not officially supported from what we've heard.

u/Reynard_Austin · 3 pointsr/WiiHacks

I'm going to suggest the Classic controller pro, especially if it's your only controller. The GC controller is awesome for N64 and Wii games, but the classic does everything else better in my opinion and does N64/Wii games well enough.

u/marioman63 · 3 pointsr/wiiu

yes. wii shop channel is fully functional on the wii mode. maybe you are unaware, but you can transfer any vc and wiiware titles from a wii console you may have. but if you mention buying a wiimote, then i would assume you dont have a wii.

just remeber a classic controller or a classic controller pro (NOT a pro controller) is needed to play n64 games in wii mode.

u/dino0986 · 3 pointsr/emulation

How does your computer run dolphin? If you haven't tried to run anything yet then you should do that to make sure that your computer is up to snuff for gamecube emulation.

The controller you want to use is this one right? If it is, all you need to do is connect the wiimote to your computer using something like glovepie, and then plug in and set it up that way. I dont use a mac, but this program looks like it would work.

The GamePad comes with the console and you must have one. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. The Pro Controller is optional. In multiplatform games it's generally really helpful because it's more comfortable than the GamePad. So, for example, the game Darksiders: Warmastered Edition - The GamePad has no added functionality. The screen just shows what the TV shows. The Pro Controller works just as well. However in games like ZombiU, the GamePad is used for inventory management and other things. The GamePad is the way to go in that case. The Pro Controller is really good but not useful in every case. For playing Wii games, you will need a Wii Remote and Nunchuk. The Wii U Pro Controller will not work for Wii Games. However, the Wii has its own Pro Controller. It works for many games. You can buy it here. The list of Wii games that support the Pro Controller can be found here.. (The Wikipedia page says Classic Controller, but the Classic Controller and the Pro Controller are the same. The Pro Controller is a more comfortable version of the Classic Controller.)

You'll have to get a brooks converter as well if you want to use this.

You do realise you can get an actual controller got the Wii right?

u/natergonnanate · 2 pointsr/wiiu

Make sure you have both a wiimote AND a Wii Classic Controller (this or this)

  1. go in Wii Mode
  2. go on the VC shop
  3. Find/Buy/Download TLoZ MM

    You're Welcome
u/fudgepop01 · 2 pointsr/SSBPM

*Note: I use the classic controller pro ([This thing])

I prefer to use the cStick to execute an ASC on the first hit of an upSmash. What I do is:

  1. tap the cStick up
  2. position my thumb over the B button (or whatever you have set to special)
  3. press B the moment you hear or see the attack deal damage/knockback to the opponent. Alternatively you could memorize the timing of the button press.
  4. press R to cancel the now-charaging aura sphere
  5. Follow up with whatever fits the situation best.
u/Rahlii · 2 pointsr/smashbros

why does everyone always forget this has existed since Brawl and is a pretty damn good controller too

u/Schamballa · 2 pointsr/gaming

well, it's not COMPLETELY nonmotion but this is as close as I think you'll get.

EDIT: there are some things you cannot do with this remote (like browse wii store, message boards etc) and I really shouldn't have mentioned it not having 'all the facts' I just know it's worked for me and it might work for you.

u/Novelty_Frog · 2 pointsr/GameDeals

You can, but in my experience it's a bit of a hassle. I tried it on two computers, and the one that previously had motioninjoy installed on it just refused to work with the Toshiba bluetooth stack as explained here. The other one worked fine and I tried out some emulators. The controller GUI is very barebones, and I suspect the OP of the gbatemp thread has jumped ship as the current version has remained at 1.6 for some time now.

For me personally, I find the Wii Classic Controller Pro and PC adapter to be more comfortable and much more easily configured. No wireless, but I don't mind.

u/maximumzero · 2 pointsr/wiiu

Keep in mind that everything lacking a "Wii" logo in the top center of the controller is a knockoff and is probably garbage.

If you want a Classic Controller, you want to buy one of these two:

Black

White

u/floflo81 · 2 pointsr/wiiu

Nope it's a bit more complex than that.

u/field_retro · 2 pointsr/Xenoblade_Chronicles

I played XBC1 on the Wii using one of these controllers. It was a pleasant experience.

Buying XBC1 on the WiiU eShop and playing it with the GamePad would be a less expensive option.

u/baruch_shahi · 1 pointr/gaming

Are you talking about the Wiimote + nunchuk, specifically?

Wii also supported Gamecube controllers and the Classic Controllers

u/flotador7 · 1 pointr/nintendo

If you were a virgin on both consoles, I would say 3DS just for simplicity sake; but since you already own a 3DS, I think the wii is a good choice.

Just like Dominic4523 said, make sure it is one of the backwards compatible models if you plan to play gamecube games.

Also, you need to know that you will need a lot of stuff to fully enjoy what the wii has to offer.

You need a wiimote + nunchuck for most wii games. Some will only need the wiimote, but most will need you to have both, for every player too.

If you plan to play gamecube games, you'll need a gamecube controller and a gamecube memory card to save your progress. Those games are not playable with the wiimote.

Last, if you plan to get virtual console games, you'll need a classic controller model 1 or model 2; and also, the wii shop channel will not be selling points starting next Monday March 26th, so you'll have to check the store asap for potential purchases.

If after knowing all that you still want a wii, go for it, but it is definitely way easier to just got a new 3DS.

u/SirRuto · 1 pointr/gamingnews

This newer model of the classic controller is a lot easier on the hands. I know my Smash Bros.-playing friends love it to death.

u/Goldfisho · 1 pointr/3DS

I tried using the Wii classic controller to play brawl the other day so I could get used to the feel of what a 3DS would be like. I was just using the default controls, so X was jump, A was attack and B was special. I need to rebind I think because I just couldn't get my head around jump, I would move my thumb right and just press A to jump.

So someone hits me off a platform and then my guy just goes punch as he glides to his doom. So the tiniest change of keys messed up my play pretty bad.

That same day I tried Super smash flash for the first time, with the awkward as heck U I O P keys. I picked it up almost instantly. What the heck brain. I guess muscle memory was really screwing me over xD

u/doorknob60 · 1 pointr/nintendo

Careful, those are probably knock-off, and might be bad quality. For the best experience, I'd stick with Nintendo (though used should be fine too, as long as it's first party).

u/Demented_Jester · 1 pointr/smashbros

How about this? Unless you meant the actual gamecube controller, in which case best bet would be to try off ebay, or go to Amazon and get them used. You could try this used, but idk if it's guaranteed to be a Nintendo brand and not off brand. Regardless, the chance is only about $15.

u/ThreeTwenty320 · 1 pointr/nintendo

You'll need the Wii Remote anyway (the Wii U's Pro controller doesn't work for Wii games either). This is the controller I was talking about that you'd need for the VC games.

Personally, I'd recommend you get all 3 (Wiimote, Nunchuck, and Classic Controller), but if you can't then the one you get will depend on which games you'd rather play.

u/chiefsucker · 1 pointr/wii

It really depends on how much quality you demand. I for myself was never happy with knockoffs and always bought (and still buy) original controllers, no matter for which platform. Especially for the Wii there are sometimes promotions in local stores, i.e. I got a Wii Classic Controller Pro for 18 € in a local store. That’s pretty decent and I also use it to play games in DeSmuME.

u/ToasterToasts · 1 pointr/Tetris99

8bitdo bluetooth controller adapter + Wii Classic Controller Pro

The only way to play. best d-pad I've used out of any controller.

u/netinept · 1 pointr/anime

I'm guessing they wanted to draw the Wii with the Classic Controller.

u/DigitalChocobo · 1 pointr/Android

On Amazon you can get a Wii Remote and a Wii Classic Controller Pro for about $35. It's a little clunky to have two things connected together, but it works well and the controller is nice.

u/NekoMajutsu · 1 pointr/gaming

There are a number of controller made by Nintendo for both systems.

Wii:

Wiimote + Nunchuk

Wii Classic Controller

Wii Classic Controller Pro

Wii U:

Wii U Gamepad

Wii U Pro Controller

All are made by Nintendo. Just what I could think of off the top of my head, I may be missing some for either system.

u/souffle-etc · 1 pointr/wiiu

If you want a good aftermarket controller, get the generic brand Classic Pro Controller. If you want to make sure you get the official Nintendo version, that one's Here..

The Classic Pro is fantastic for what you want to do, since GC controllers are not yet compatible. Personally, at this stage I'd rather just wait two months so I can play using a GC controller, but keep in mind that it has not been announced whether the GC adapter will work in the Wii menu through the Wii U.

New official Wii Classic Controller Pros go for around $50 online and since they're out of production it's very unlikely you'll find one in a store.

u/letransient · 1 pointr/gaming

Unless I'm mistaken, my all-time favourite controller isn't pictured: The Wii Classic Pro

I honestly would have thought it impossible to improve on the SNES controller for playing SNES games, but they managed it.

u/Petninja · -2 pointsr/gaming

Pfft hardly. Get a real controller.
