All Wii games having Gamecube controller support

The Topic title pretty much says it all but I will go into more detail.

I think that every game released on the Wii should have a Gamecube controller support option, I know what some of you guys are going to say "The Wii is all about the Wii-mote, take that away and it has nothing" (or something on that line). My reason for this is that game developers are making these Wii games and making the Wii controles apsolute crap, why not have the descensy to have Gamecube controller support where it is impossible to stuff up (it can actually but any good developer will be able to make a good control scheme on a Gamepad). On Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition they put in Gamecube controller support, they didn't have to, and it probably hardly ever gets used since Wii controls for that game rock. RE:4 probably wasn't the best example because it is a awesome game, but imagine a game with crap Wii controles and no other controller support, putting in Gamecube controller would almost certainly make it even a bit better (as long as the actual game was alright, and they didn't stuff up the gamecube controller).

So what do you guys think about this?

RE4 had GC controls, because they were the same exact ones from RE4 on the GC, so they really didn't have to do anything there.

I mean, I just don't see some games working with the gc controller though. The only games that I've used the classic controller for are VC games and Geometry Wars. At least SSBB is getting classic/gc controllers, because I don't want to have to get used to the Wiimote way :P.

Just because the Wii has GC controller support, dosn't mean all games need to have it. But I get your point, some where in my SMG adventures, I wished I had an N64 or GameCube controller in my hands, I realize the wii-mote is required for alot of parts in the game, but I guess I wished for a more nostalgic feel of it.I am thankful for GC support in DBZ Wii games however... i'm pretty lazy XD

YAY Zack and Wiki comments!

To put this arument in nicer terms...i'll bring up Metal Slug Anthology for Wii. This game has more control options than Brawl will (like 6!), but it also allowed the user to change the inputs so that they could play the game that way it felt right FOR THEM.

Skip forward one month one year, and we see that only one other game has even copied that idea, once again..Brawl.

A sign that Nintendo knows that overmarketing the Wii-mote has hurt some of its games? I say yes. But more importantly, a sign that Nintendo knows that people grip the Wii-mote differently, and now has the time and money to back it's original claim of a gaming revolution by allowing the user to feel the game they way they want to, not just as designers imagined

I think the Wii is a gimmick. Some games like Zak & Wiki and RRR couldn't work well without it.But some games are better with a Gamecube Controller. Look at Brawl! It had no use of motion what so ever. Well, that's not a good example, because they do have GCN controller support. Also, look at Mario Kart. The motion in it was too loose and it felt like it needed parenting to precision. But it was fine with a Gamecube Controller. Excite truck it cool with a Wii mote, though. Also think about those abusing the Wii. The only way to "get active" with it (sorry for poor phrasing :p) is to OVERact. In Wii sports baseball, you don't need to bend your legs and make a square with your arms, just flick your wrist (I always get home runs anyway.) I know a little girl who overacts, and everyrtime she swings in Tennis she moves forward and lunges her arms. I just flick the wrist. In Rayman Raving Rabbids it would be dull to push a button to smack a rabbid with a hammer. In fact, it's one of the few Wii titles where you really DO have to move your arm. Think about Twilight Princess. Playing for five hours, it would get boring to flick your wrist your swing your "sword" like a ninja (or a giant elf, in this case.) The way you play on your Wii really DOES tell a lot about a person.

Thank you for bumping a thread form 2008 to share that piece of insight with us.

I wish it did. Some games don't even need motion control. Mario Galaxy doesn't need motion control. A lot of other games too. New Super Mario Bros Wii barely even uses them and it doesn't support the gamecube controller.

Nintnedo would never allow that to happen. They want to show that the wii is more than a gamecube.

And certain games just wouldn't work at all without the wiimore.

All games that dont need motion controls can use Wiimote and Nun or they just hold the Wiimote sideways. GC controller isnt really needed.

^ Some one (partially) seems to agree.

would be nice for mario strikers this game has no need for the wii mote and its pretty nice when you dont have enough wii motes for multiplayer :P
