Wii Question +17 rep

[Neversoft]

Ok, firstly I am not here to cause an arguement. Don't like the Wii? Then don't post, restrain yourself. I do not want to hear about it, I just want an answer to my question.

Anyway,
I am a little concerned about the price of the Wii remote controller. I'll probaly use my Wii to play mostly multiplayer games, but the controllers are £29 each and the additional nunchuks (basically an analog stick) will cost £14 on top of that. So you end up paying £43 for the full controller, so that is £129 for 3 other controllers! I like Nintendo, but that is a rip off. So anyway, my question is - Will you be able to play all Wii games with a gamecube controller instead? As the console does have 4 gamecube controller ports, I was just wondering if you can use a gamecube controller to play all games or just a selected few. Anyone know if you can? :s

Gamecube controllers are only for the gamecube games.
Also dont forget about the actual price of the wii itself and youll be able to buy cheap 3rd party controllers and you can get a controller a wii play for £34

I saved up enough for the Wii alone, none left for controllers.

Who'd you hear it from?

Some sites i just searched.

Wii sports will use the remote, and some others will use remote. Type what you wanted us to find out into ask/google or what ever seach engine you like .

It wont work on any actual wii games and i mean why should it it defeats the point of the wii and i see your point about the price of the controllers but the wii gets £30-40 games compared to ps3s £60 so you cant really complain.

It doesn't really defeat the point, I am a little supprised that if what you're saying is true. Nintendo usually want everyone to get the most out of their games, so why not allow people to use gamecube controllers aswell?

I'm pretty sure you can use the GC controllers for quite a few games. The guy behind the Super Smash Bros. games said to hold onto your GC controllers for SSBB.

You also get a Wiimote bundled in with Wii Play if you get that. It's £34.99 at Play.com.

And what will help is if your friend's get Wiis too. They can just bring their remotes with them when they come round, sync them with the press of a button or two and play.

If you're wurried about the price, wait 2 years for it to drop.

Everyone else on this other forum says that the only game that will be able to use GC controllers is SSBB. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

No point, the Nintendo Poo will be out by then.
