Wii Virtual Console Games

Got meself a Wii and was going to download some of the games but it says you need one of the classic controllers - can you not use the Wii remote?

I'm guessing eBay would be best for an old Gamecube controller?
2p off is still 2p off!

  • You can buy a wii classic controller for about £15 in game shops or a cheaper option may be a gamecube controller on ebay.

    The games will not start without the proper controller.
    You can't con an honest man!
  • i'm pretty sure your wii controller is a classic controller but turned around a bit. i downloaded super mario a week or so ago and i can play it using my wii controller but i have to hold it with 2 hands about 90 degrees to the left(?). i didn't buy a new one to play mario so i doubt you need to either...
