Which games can be played with the Classic Controller?
The Classic Controller can be used for any game downloaded from the Virtual Console. Not all buttons are necessary for every game, but you will never run out of buttons. Some Wii games can also be played with the Classic Controller, such as Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Brothers Brawl.
What are the alternatives to the Classic Controller?
For some games, it is possible to use only the WiiMote or the WiiMote in combination with the Nunchuck. However, this often proves to be more difficult to play with than the Classic Controller due to different button layouts and less ergonomic design. The GameCube controller can always be used instead of the Classic Controller, but it is almost impossible to find one for sale nowadays, making the Classic Controller a very convenient accessory.
What can I use the classic controller for?
I always use it for Mario Kart Wii, I find it very comfortable to control, you can also use it in Super Smash Bros Brawl. I bought it once at Bart Smit for 19.95, a shame, because it's much cheaper here.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the classic controller?
Advantages.
1: it hardly consumes any batteries
2: it always works, for example, when you make a 'swing' with your Wii remote, it sometimes doesn't work so well, especially when the batteries are almost empty
Disadvantages
1: it doesn't provide that special feeling, I mean motion is so much fun, that's what the Wii is known for
2: You have to plug it into a regular controller, like a nunchuck, but the Wiimote and classic controller don't work together like the nunchuck does
How do I rate the classic controller?
I've explained everything now,
I really enjoy playing with the classic controller, but the special motion feeling of the Wii is gone.
I think Nintendo did a good job, it's worth a 7.
