Default Question about C64 games...

I was considering buying some of these, and I was wondering if it's easier to play these with the Wii Remote or the original C64 joysticks.

Thanks!

I havn't really had much of a problem using the wiimote and as you don't have the option of a joystick then there isn't really much point in worrying about it.
The classic controller is better for some games, like Last Ninja as it maps keyboard controls to the different buttons so you don't have to mess about with the virtual keyboard.

I was actually thinking of using the Hori Arcade Stick that my brother gave me for my birthday.

I'd go for arcade stick in that case, but as Betagam said, some games work fine with the wiimote.

Well, I figure I may as well use the arcade stick for something, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity, next to Pac-Man.

Well, thanks everyone!

I could see an arcade stick being useful for games like Uridium. It would feel odd to me somehow though as traditionally I played C64 with a joystick in my right hand.
On another subject, if you are struggling for use for your arcade stick then you could do no worse than pick up the SNK Arcade Collection. I got it yesterday and its pretty good. If you can get it cheaply it should be a perfect match for your stick.

Okay, thanks for the tip.
I'll look into that.
