Enjoy Virtual Console games the way they were meant to be played. The Classic Controller blends design elements from Nintendo's classic video game controllers, such as the NES, Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64, into one comfortable control pad.

The Classic Controller is connected to the Wii Remote by a short cable. The Wii Remote provides the Controller with a wireless connection to the Wii console.

The Classic Controller is primarily used for playing Virtual Console games available for download from the Wii Shop Channel. Some Wii Disc games also use the Classic Controller. Look on the back of Wii game packaging to see which games are compatible.

 Fantastic for the games that support it.

The controller is clearly not designed with every game on the Wii in mind. For games on the Virtual Console the controller is essential, also some Wii games are much better using the Classic controller as opposed to the Wiimote, for example, Mario Kart Wii plays much better using the Classic controller. The 'handles' on the black Classic controller (absent on the original, white Classic) make it much easier, and more comfortable to handle for extended periods of time, especially for adults. Recommended.

 Excellent
