classic controller for GC games

[fail:safe]

does anyone know if the classic controller will work for GC games.

i want to get the windwaker with the masterquest disc.

also, will the game save on the SD card or do i need to get a GC memory card?

thanks

to play gamecube games properly
you need at least

1 - 4 Gamecube Controllers
1 - 2 Gamecube Memory Cards

Sorry, no Classic Controller & no SD Card or Wii Memory.

thanks mate, do you know if you need an offical GC controller or will generic ones work too?

As far as I know, third party (If that's what you mean by generic) will work, but you should go for an official anyway, third party ones are more often than not pretty awful.

the original gamecube controllers are not that uber-good as some may say.
i crushed 4 of them. so you might as well get a cheap generic one.

You crushed them? How on Earth did you manage that?

The "generic" Gamestop GC controller I got works about as well as the official Nintendo ones I used to own.

was that the wrong word?
i just play too much and every controller got broken somehow.

mostly the sticks. that happens all the time.

then i got one with a broken R button. that happend in F-Zero GX (beat that thing wholly)

and another one that does not work at all. (completely stopped all functionality. was afraid of my skills. ^^)

i also have burst one wiimote and one classic controller already
but i have never thrown them xD

Ah, heh, it was a bit of a misleading word. It gave me the impression that you stomped on each one of them!

Yeah, that's a curse that often befalls analogue sticks unfortunately, but I can't imagine it being any different on a third party controller. The quality does vary I guess, so if you are going to get one, make sure you've read an impression or two about it first =]

SKTTRBRUISE...are you Geoff Capes, legendary star of Geoff Capes: Strongman on the Spectrum? He could rip up 12 phonebooks and I'd imagine he's the only parrot collector in Spalding, Lincs who could crush four gamecube controllers.
