If I'm gonna download those games from the shop, should I go get a gamecube controller or a classic controller? Is the classic controller wireless?

In essence it's wireless in that it connects to the Wii remote. I think you shoudl get a CC, the only real way to play Super Nintendo games on the VC

Do you ever expect to play Gamecube games?

If so you have no other choice but the Gamecube controller

The wiimote for NES, Turbografx and some Sega Genesis

The CC for the SNES and some Sega Genesis

The GameCube for the N64

That's how I play on the VC.

Really?

Because I find the Wiimote is best for the NES games and the Gamecube controller is best for the N64 games

Though I will say if you plan on getting a lot of SNES games you should get the Classic Controller. Though the Wiimote and Gamecube controller works best for almost everything else.

Classic Controller if you just want Virtual Consolegames, if you want to playVirtual ConsoleandGamecube games then you need a Gamecubecontroller.

I agree and that's how I usually play, but SNES games are sometimes impossible with the Gamecube Controller.

Totally agree 100%, some of the worst button mapping in the history of gaming lol

Most SNES games you NEED to have a classic to make them playable. Otherwise I find I like the GameCube Controller better.

No. There aren't enough buttons. (well, there are technically enough for the SNES, but the layout of those buttons is so radically different that it would simply never work)

Classic controller for your VC games. Hand down. If you ever want to play GC games on your Wii, get a wireless GC controller (The G3s/ or wavebird if you are lucky). But you prolly won't ant to use a GC controller with your VC games.

you get nunchuck and wiimote free with Wii...

buy a classic controller, that is all you need, because to play VC games.

and if you have a friend, and you would maybe like to play the first multiplayer Resident Evil ever, it's Resident Evil UC for Wii, 1 nunchuck and 1 wiimote, for multiplayer fun..
