Sorry if this has been asked before, I'd bet it probably has but so far I haven't found it in the forums and there's no search feature. =/ Do you have to buy the 'classic' controller to play Pokemon Snap, Ecco the Dolphin, and Yoshi's Story? Or can you use the remote + nunchuck?

You can use a classic controller OR a gamecube controller. No remote/nunchuck support.

it depends on the game, really. when you go to purchase games from the Wii Shop, it'll tell you in the description what controller(s) it uses.

NES/SMS = Remote
SNES/Genesis = Classic Controller
N64 = Gamecube Controller

The CC and GC controller are interchangeable, but I'd recommend the above.

Well, I saw that but I was kinda hoping it was just the 'recommended' controller, but not the only controller that would work. Glad I asked before spending money on the games! Thanks for the help

Generally for N64 games, the GC controller is best, other than that, you can't go wrong wiith the classic controller.

The only game on VC that plays much better then a GC controller in a N64 game is Sin and Punishment. The control layout works much better then that game.

Far I as I know the only games that require the Classic Controller (what I believe the original question was) are the SNES and N64 games (though the Gamecube controller will also work).

You can play games for the other systems using just the remote held on its side, though it is a bit awkward for games that use more than two buttons since you'll have to use the A/B buttons for C on the Genesis/MD and 3/4 buttons on the Neo Geo.

Sure, mail me your code and I'll do the same. Might be best to do both my PAL and NA Wii; I'm more likely to be firing up the PAL machine these days.
