Wii Classic Controller Reviews:
For all the people saying that a wireless GameCube controller is a better purchase … I’m wondering, have you tried Super Mario World with the GameCube controller yet?

It’s unplayable. I have both and I tried to play 2-player SMW. The classic controller of course works perfectly, but the GameCube one is awful. Here’s why: SMW requires you to do running jumps over pits. That means you hold Y and press B to jump. Y and B are right next to each other on the classic controller, but on the GameCube controller, there is an enormous A button almost directly between them. You have to bend your thumb at a weird angle to hit B and Y but not A, because if you hit A you will do a spin jump and probably fall in the pit.

So really, one of the best Virtual Console games out right now does not work well with the GameCube controller … the classic controller is great and works well with all of the games. (That’s what it was made for, you know)
