Do you think that some Wii games should have optional Gamecube controller support like in Super Smash Bros. Brawl? I was thinking games like Tony Hawks really need this as if you've tried the Wii controls for that then you can feel your brain melting

Nintendo should have made a totally new standard controller as well as the Wii remote. One that would be compatible with GC, VC and Wii games, and ditching the cIassic controller idea. I think that would have been the best option, considering some people love the unique Wii controls, and some people hate it.

GC controller support is great, as long as the normal control scheme is used properly as well. It should be an alternative and only that, meaning developers should concentrate on making the best experience for the game with the proper Wii controls before adding GC support.

So yeah I'll always like support for the controller, but when developers do that instead of maximizing the potential of the Wii controls it can get frustrating.

I hate the Gamecube controller and I hate that games even allow it. Its a lazy "out" for developers to just allow GC support instead of designing the controls well. I'd rather the Wii didn't have Gamecube ports at all, but they wanted backwards compatibility.

i like how in some games there is different ways to play. ie SSBB where there is 4 choices for gameply. Most games should have that support. Only down side to gamecube pad is that if you dont have a wireless one you have to play right by the wii.

It would be just like playing a Gamecube. Its not like you have to sit horribly close.......unless you have a 65" TV...then it gets kinda harsh

I agree, especially when there are certain genres that just do not work at all with wiimote controls.

I don't think they should. MAybe a few games having multiple control schemes, but 3rd parties should not just port a game from one system to the wii, slap on some motion contols that only work half the time. i bought a wii because of the inovative way to play games, not so i can play a gamecube again. Yea, maybe some games work better with a game pad, Brawl, but MP3 was WAY BETTER using the wiimote. if only 3rd parties would spend time on wii games and not just ports.

Yes. Like Sonic Riders Zero Gravity and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

Yes...mainly because with some games, developers force motion controls that just feel awkward and just get repetitive. For example, Twilight Princess, I would have rather played that with a Cube controller. Even though the arrow shooting was more accurate because of the Wiimote, it didn't boost the effect enough to have the tacked on Wii controls. Playing These kinds of games can feel like a chore at times. I know there are people out there who will say, "No, the Wii was built to be different" and blah blah blah, but Nintendo themselves designed the Classic Controller for the Wii suggesting they planned to use it in some of their games ie Smash Bros and Mario Kart. I'm beginning to wonder if the next console will have Gamecube controller ports because we all know Nintendo may stick to unique controllers for controls. I don't think they should abandon the old way to play...and with the classic controller only being compatible with the wiimote, I honestly think the Cube controller will live on - or at least an iteration of it.

The games I really see the need for it are the sports games, namely the baseball sims, because no one wants to play for hours when their flickin their wrists and pumping there fists.

No, if you want a standard controller pick another console

The way to make devs embrace the Wii is to make them concentrate on the Wiimote and Chuck and then if they want to add other methods to control the game. It doesn't have to be motion but it does have to be Wiimote and Chuck enabled.

No, because it doesn't need Gamecube support if non motion enabled games can be controlled with the Wiimote and Chuck.

MLB Power Pros and Smash Bros both control remarkably well with the Wiimote and Chuck even though you're not using motion controls.

The idea is to force devs to utilize the Wiimote and Chuck no matter what. Even if games don't have motion devs have to learn how to make the control schemes fit the Wii's controller. Not take the cheap way out and just default to the Gamecube controller.

no way, i think devs just need to find better ways to utilize the controls, smash bros, did it just fine, i mean look what motion sensing did for re4, it totally made the game worth while to buy again, like most people who have played this version, i can not go back to the GCN controller, its just horrible now. if devs do it right the wiimote and nunchuck can be amazing.

No, in my opinion if its using the gamecube controller its not a truly a wii game, its more of an advanced gamecube game.

I shouldn't, if I buy a console to play the same GC graphics, and with the same controller, they should released it to GC anyway. If that happens, the whole idea behind the Wii is lost, the main attractive are the innovative controllers, and if that is lost, what do we get? A GameCube.....

I respect the people who prefer the gamecube controller to play brawl, but I think that the wiimote + the nunchuck is an excellent combination and to me it feels no different than playing with a gamecube controller.

Im doing fine with the remote/nunchuk control. People should branch out and try something new rather than doing the same this they did with the old game.

I have to side with Jaysonguy on this one. Nothing needs GC controller support. I repeat nothing. The only reason they have with Brawl and others is to cater to all those gamers can't seem to learn the new Wii Controls. Grow some and learn the Wii controls already.

does anybody remember when people hated the gamecube controller and it wasnt viewed as a usefull tool when the wii controller is in a pinch? I do. That being said yeah it can definitly be used at times.
