I have always thought about getting a Classic Controller so I can play SNES games, as I have never played anyo of them before (no, not even SMW sadly), but I never could justify the purchase. I mean, besides SMW which will probably take me a couple days to finish, what other SNES games are there to do for?

I mean..it's either this option (Wii Classic Controller + 4000 Wii Points), or I could just go for another 360 game, like the new Prince of Persia one coming out :s

No on the classic controller, yes on the Wii points, only because the VC has many titles you can play that are hard to find. You can use a GCN controller. I'm very lucky, as I have the SNES controller remake for the GCN, so therefore it's pretty useless for me to have a Classic Controller. Just my input.

Ah, so lucky. But the problem with using the GameCube on SNES games is that they mapped the controls weird, and it would be very uncomfortable :|

The classic controller works fine, and some Wii games even support it. Or, if you really want to go retro, you can buy this adapter. http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?productID=122

Yes to both. There are a lot fo great VC games to play, and obviously, there's just 1 way to pay fir them. The classic controller is good too. it's not too expensive, and the button lay out is much better for playing super nintendo and N64 games that the GC controller is.

Thanks :) So far I'm leaning to buy the Classic Controller + a Wii Points Card instead of buying the new Prince of Persia (360)/Wario Land: Shake It. Thanks for the input guys :) I guess the Classic games...are just too Classic to not play :P

Yes get the Cla$$ic Controller becuse the GameCube button layout makes it hard to play some SNES games like Super Mario World.
