Default Classic Controller
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.

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.

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

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

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