Wii Classic Controler question

corronchilejano · Post by **corronchilejano** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 3:11 am

Is the Wii classic controller compatible with the GameCube? As in has somebody managed to connect it to a GameCube and make it work?

considering it plugs into the wiimote, the answer is no.

I think I didn't write correctly. Modding?

I doubt it.

What would you use it for?

I got a GameCube for a ridiculous price, and it has two controllers. I have two classic ones for the Wii, and purchasing the two additional controllers is 50 bucks I'd like to keep.

you can use the GC controller instead of the classic controller.

I think the point is he'd like FOUR GAMECUBE controllers.

If I get this right...

he has a wii, which is a gamecube for all usable intents and purposes, and goes and gets a gamecube?

this sounds like the chewbacca defense.

like, go and get some used GC controllers.

You deserve an award for that.

short answer: From what I've seen in my searching, no

long answer: It would prolly cost more for the whole modding process then to buy used controllers which you can get cheaper than $50 here. That's a total value of $30 for two controllers, isn't that great?

That just instantly reminds me of that South Park episode.

the answer is no. sell the gamecube, and use the profit to buy more controllers. you don't need a wii and a gamecube, don't even try to justify that one.

GC are worth like $15 at the most now.

I got a GC for $1... yes, $1. My cousin is now in my house all the time but I don't like him touching my Wii... he's 7.

I guess I'll need to just buy the two additional controllers then.

PS: Yes, I understand I wrote touching my Wii.

its from nintendo, the Wii will survive. they been selling to seven year-olds for most of our lives.

The TV might not.

Well the GC survived Morgan Web's sledge hammer so I gess that the Wii can do the same... maybe not.

ok, that makes a little more sense, still, I think there really only is one solution.

I think a wii will survive a 7yo

My wii has survived a 6yo who could almost be on one of them nanny shows (note he does not play anything but classics unless an adult is around) , and just today a dog kicked my wii over , not off a stand so it didnt take a fall

But unless somebody comes out with some adapter , you cant use a classic on a GC

I let my 5 year old brother play WarioWare, although I do supervise him so that the only thing he could possibly break is the Wiimote.

corronchilejano · Post by **corronchilejano** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 7:03 am

Guess what. It only took 20 seconds of game for my Ledded-up Wiimote to go flying out the window... in a 4th floor.

Despite that, I let my cousing continue playing. I think I'll give that GC to a consoless friend. Birthday on the 15th.

I actually didn't use the strap, so I had removed it. I now enforce it's use among anyone other than I. I gotta give it to Nintendo though, the damn Wiimote works normally.

I think I'll keep the cube. I now have every machine since the NES (although my N64 is in another part of the country). I'm only missing the Virtual Boy and the Huge Gameboy.

I still have my big gameboy that I bought when they were brand new, I usually had a bad habit of never gettin rid of my gaming stuff , so I own nearly every console that hit US shores (plus a couple that hasnt) , still missing a PS3 but I'm in no rush for that... luckily AT&T is sendin me a $300 best buy gift card because of their promotion that they had goin on when I got another plan...
