Buy a classic controller the Wii games that make use of a controller are being specifically designed for Classic Controllers. Haven't heard Wii games are going to be using GameCube controllers.

I don't mind at all to be honest I bought a GameCube and it is saving me money in not having to buy new controllers if they do indeed work.

Ditto that. My Wii was a shared christmas present between me and my girlfriend, as soon as I get to her house she starts playing and whacks her controller on the table tennis table, chipping it. I broke up with her a few days after.....for other reasons...there goes 2 and a half years </rant>

I hope that doesn't bump up ther price... maybe you will be able to buy it without the controller?

With regard to the original question, say a game comes out requiring two wii remotes, would you be annoyed? This is the hardware that the game requires, so why should you be annoyed that you have to buy controllers? You need to buy another wii remote to play 2 player dont you?

I sold all my cube gear when i heard the wii was going to be backward compatible .... in the past all backward compatible consoles have not required people to hold onto any equiptment. To earn the right to suggest that something is backward compatible it needs to come ready to roll. I think its more of an annoyance for people instead of the 10 - 20 bux they gotta spend. The fact that they HAD a cube controler and due to a system being "backward compatable" they made the fair assumption it would arrive with all nessesary. I know i did.

I'm glad they are supporting gc pads. Imagine if it was cassic controller only. You would have to purchase an extra wii-mote for every additional classic controller.Pricey.Very pricey.

That just means you didn't research properly.

The Wii is a new way in how games are played so you can't say "Before consoles became backward compatible you could play straight out of the box" because look at the controller for XBOX/XBOX360 or PSOne/PS2/PS3, they are basicly the same as eachother which can't be said for the Wii Controller compared to the GameCube controller.

I have a similar story with sony. I never had a ps1, but I bought fear effect to play on my PS2, but couldn't save since the memory cards are different...

Im annoyed that the advertising at my local EB store tells me that i can use a classic controller to play Gamecube stuff when everything else i read says I cant. I bought 2 wavebirds because of this...if it now comes up that I cant play SSBB with a wavebird and i have to buy classic controllers (even if one comes bundled, we will all need more) then i wont just be annoyed, ill be downright ropeable.

May 10, 2006, at the After-Hours Press Conference, Nintendo officially revealed the game under the name of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Miyamoto and Sakurai, who were there to make the announcement, hinted that the game could have full compatibility with the GameCube controller. Sakurai said that the reason was because he did not want to "alienate those familiar with the pad." In an interview with IGN, Sakurai said the Wii's motion sensing features might not be included because, "we found that trying to implement too much motion-sensory functionality can get in the way of the game."

I prefer to keep all my old consoles and accessories, it just simply they are full of memories and I like to collect them. I only sell or trade games.

i got rid of my cube and mario sunshine for 150 bucks via the paper. i still have one cube controller and some games, but the controller is wired - i can't imagine playing SSBB with it, i'd have to sit on the floor like a metre from my TV.

but i don't think there's much of an issue here. most people who want to play multiplayer games already have 2 wiimotes, via buying wiiplay. SSBB will come with a classic controller, which shouldn't push the price up by more than $10 bucks. and then if you want to play with your other wiimote too, you'll need to spend $30 bucks for another classic controller.

so all up it's only around $40 extra. not too bad.
