Objectively, the Classic Controller is a fine peripheral for playing retro titles. It's comfortable, it's semiwireless (despite its Wiimote tail), and it's the only controller guaranteed to work with all Virtual Console games. However, its inability to...

I bought this to play PES2010 and the controls are pretty much the same as for the same game on the playstation. I don't have a playstation anymore, but I have a wii. Rather than splash out on a PS3 I just got the game for the wii and this remote as I...

wire comes out the wrong end

As a controller it works every bit as well as to be expected. I do take issue with one aspect of its design though. Who at Nintendo thought it would be a good idea to shake things up by making the cord come out of the bottom of the controller?

If you are a big user of virtual console then this is absolutely essential. It fits in your hands perfectly, the buttons are well placed, and it works with EVERY game on virtual console. But, if you're planning to get gamecube games as well, then you...

Works perfectly

The controller is nicely made, comfortable, and works perfectly. There are cheaper non-wii versions available, but I don't regret playing safe.

A Must Have Controller!!

This is a must have controller for the WII for all those games that can have this as a controller option. For those who still haven't mastered the nunchuck remotes or just like the idea of the old fashion gamepad action then this is ideal.
