Classic Controller - Uses

Uses

Along with the Nintendo GameCube controller, the Classic Controller is one of the controllers required in order to play certain Virtual Console games (such as SNES or Nintendo 64 titles, which require more buttons than the Wii Remote has). However, the Classic Controller cannot be used to play Nintendo GameCube games. The Classic Controller can be used with the Virtual Console as well as with certain Wii and WiiWare games. The Nintendo GameCube controller can be used instead of the Classic Controller for playing most Virtual Console games. When in the Wii Menu, the left analog stick takes control of the cursor when the Wii Remote is not pointed at the screen. The Classic Controller can navigate through the Message Board, settings menus, and Wii Shop Channel (the Nintendo Gamecube controller, however, cannot). It becomes inactive on all other channels, excluding Virtual Console games. The Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro, like the Wii Remote, will be compatible with the Wii U, and some Wii U-specific games may support it as well, such as Trine 2: Director's Cut. The Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro can also be used to navigate the Wii U home screen and menus as well.
