Classic Controller

[tylo5]

The wii's controls are great i think anyone can agree on, but it doesn't work in some situations, and i think if the classic was a pack-in developers would be more likely to make more games using the standard video game controls for it. And not forcing bad controls just as a gimmick. Vote. Discuss.

despite our enthusiasm for it, the VC remains a niche product in the greater scope of Wii demographics. The main control method for the Wii is still the Wiimote and Nunchuck, and one of each of those is bundled with the machine, in the same manner as every console since as far as I can remember.

I personally bought a Classic controller at the same time as my Wii, but for most people, I just don't think it's that relevant. I'm just happy they made it available as a peripheral for people like me, who appreciate it and are prepared to spend the additional funds on it, but the lower list price of the Wii makes up for the shortfall for the majority of customers, I'd wager.

What's that button for on top of the Classic Controller?

What's that button for on top of the Classic Controller?No idea, maybe it's something to do with the holes in the back. Look to me like something could be clipped on to it.

What's that button for on top of the Classic Controller?

It appears to 'release' something that would clip onto the back... a rumble pack? A stand? Im not sure.

[SMBSSfan]

I was thinking the same thing

[iNma]

Surely it would stand to reason that memory packs would need some sort of electronic connector, and the same must be true for rumble packs - even on close inspection, there is no such thing on the classic remote.. I'm guessing it's neither of the two, though I can't offer an explanation as to what it might be

It's a clip for things like this:

I for one would love to see rumble paks made for the classic controller. As the poll goes, I voted yes at same price.

I wonder when Nintendo will something official for it.

[Taint Smack]

Nintendo might make something official for it somewhere down the line. I mean, they did make the clip for a reason, right?

I'm guessing a battery pack so you don't have to play with the wiimote schwangin' from a line.

To be honest, I haven't dropped it once. In fact, I barely notice it's connected sometimes. I just put it on the arm of my chair and play.

[kelvingreen]

Don't have a Classic Controller yet. :?

[yoshi175]

The wires on the classic controller really annoys me :evil:

[Mendez]

The wires on the classic controller really annoys me :evil:Cut the wires if you find them that bad, then see if the controller's better off without them :P

:lol: I guess I should have mentioned I play my games in my sunroom! :lol: Yeah, not many people have sofas in their rooms! :lol:

:lol: There are coming out with a grip for it so the cords don't get in the way if they're causing that much trouble.

I'm finding the wire to short, for me it needs to be the lengh of a gamecube wire not a nunchuk one

I'd find it much much too long. I guess it's about the perfect size for me, as long as I manage not to drop it.

Agree its a niche product. Think most "regular" ppl would get mad to pay extra for a controller that they never get to use. It saves the environment too ;)
