I was unaware that I did not need to go to the catalogue sight on the web and could go directly to the website to find the items that I wanted. After speaking to an online account rep, the matter was quickly resolved and I was able to order quickly and efficiently. The items arrived even before I expected them! Thanks for making my first experience so easy!

We started out using our gamecube controllers for the Virtual Console games that we purchased for our Wii, and they just didn't feel right. There were some button combinations from the SNES that just weren't possible or comfortable. <br/> <br/>Once we tried the classic controllers, it was a 100% improvement. I wouldn't be without them for my VC games.

The classic controller is a very nice touch to the Wii system. Its very clean looking and is almost wireless by plugging it to the Wiimote. The only flaw is the price. For 20 bucks the price of one controller you could get 3 and sometimes 4 Gamecube controllers that work just as well. <br/> <br/>All and all its very nice and easy to use!

For all the people saying that a wireless GameCube controller is a better purchase ... I'm wondering, have you tried Super Mario World with the GameCube controller yet? <br/> <br/>It's unplayable. I have both and I tried to play 2-player SMW. The classic controller of course works perfectly, but the GameCube one is awful. Here's why: SMW requires you to do running jumps over pits. That means you hold Y and press B to jump. Y and B are right next to each other on the classic controller, but on the GameCube controller, there is an enormous A button almost directly between them. You have to bend your thumb at a weird angle to hit B and Y but not A, because if you hit A you will do a spin jump and probably fall in the pit. <br/> <br/>So really, one of the best Virtual Console games out right now does not work well with the GameCube controller ... the classic controller is great and works well with all of the games. (That's what it was made for, you know)

I bought this controller after downloading Donkey Kong Country on Virtual Console and trying to play it with my wireless Gamecube controller. The controlls were so awkward on the GC controller that I had trouble making it through the very first level. When I got this controller and played it felt just like it did on the SNES and the controlls were natural and easy. <br/> <br/>I also like the fact that you can use either the joystick or the pad to move, and it is easier to use the joystick to browse the menu than pointing the Wiimote at the screen and having to hold your arm out. It also feels more natural than using the Wiimote for games such as Sonic. I don't have many games downloaded on Virtual Console, but I found it absolutely necessary for DK.
