My favorite mod for the gamecube controller
Is it really the naming schemes though? The Wii and WiiU Both had equivalent "Pro" controllers. I think for a lot of people when nintendo says "pro controller" it is assumed to be the non-gimmick controller.
The original Playstation controller is the most innovative controller in recent history. It was essentially an upgraded SNES controller, notice the d-pad opposite four multi-purpose buttons. The triangle, circle, square, cross are just Sony's answer to Nintendo's A,B,X,Y.
But it was innovative for 2-3 reasons. One, it added handles for your hands. The NES and SNES controllers, while epic, aren't exactly the most comfortable things to hold.
Secondly, it added two more triggers and, later, two analog sticks.
Today, every console has its own brand of the PS1 controller. The 360 controller, while admittedly more comfortable than the PS3 controller, is identical in button layout, just switch the d-pad and left analog stick.
Even the Wii has its own version in the classic controller PRO.

Do you mean you bought the Wii U Pro Controller? Those aren't compatible with Wii Mode. The Classic Controller, and the Classic Controller Pro are what the games are referring to.
I don't think so. Wii Classic Pro, vs. PS2.
There are classic controllers for the wii though.

Price of this one is absurd but that may be because of how old the wii is.
You're not confusing the Wii U's Pro Controller that only works with specified Wii U games with a Wii Classic Controller Pro that works with the Wii and some Wii U games, are you?

like this one?
The official Nintendo ones can be pretty costly. It seems to be going for over $40 on Amazon.
For Skyward Sword the original Wii controller is mandatory, swordplay in that game follows your own movement like sideslash, slashing up etc. As for the rest of these games, get a Classic controller. And yeah, try to find Xenoblade Chronicles first ;) It's spectacular.
Other games I would suggest (playable with a Pro controller):
You can get MH Tri on the Wii, but MH 3 Ultimate is a bit nicer to look at. Equally great though imo.
Awesome game, also for the Wii. Great to play with your daughter, if she likes that kind of games.
Very nice RPG's, very story-driven.
There are more of which I've heard good things like Tales of Syphonia, Arc Rise Fantasia and Muramasa, but I'm not in a position to recommend those cause I haven't played them :)
As for the Wii U, there are only a few big games out at the moment but they're all pretty great (so I hear). A must buy (as was for me at least, alongside MH3U) is Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. Colorful, atmospheric, awesome overall.
Edit: Of course I meant the Classic controller, not the Pro. Pro is for Wii U only. I have both and switched them up.
I love the controls however I have never used the normal Wii controls. I'm not sure if any of you have ever used it but I've used the classic controller from the very beginning.
I personally love the classic controls but have no opinion on the normal wii remote controls. What do you guys think?
Switch pro controller question:
I wasnt the biggest fan of the Wii u pro controller, it always felt a bit big for me. I could use it no problem, but I would much prefer use the Wii pro classic controller.
Image : https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002TLTBN0.01.lg.jpg
Do you think the switch pro controller will please me? Should I get it? Thanks
A Wii Classic Pro controller, to be more precise
Nope! They're official. The [Classic Controller Pro] is basically classic controller 2.0 and was once produced by Nintendo.
You may be thinking of something like [This].
However, if I could find a CCP that plugs directly into the Wii console like a GCC, I would buy It in a heartbeat. o3o
You should look into emulating it and playing it with a controller.
The Wii classic pro controller is great for those purposes:
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0
You'll need one of these to use it with a PC:
http://www.amazon.com/WII-CLASSIC-CONTROLLER-TO-USB-Nintendo/dp/B003711698
The game pad turns off when you switch to Wii mode.
You will need the Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuck to play the classic Wii games but, the classic Wii remote will work as well if you already own that. In addition, I'd also recommend grabbing a classic controller if you plan on playing Wii games like Super Smash Bros Brawl as the Wii U Pro Controller will not work.
There is an official forum list here of compatible external hard drives, but I haven't put much of a dent in mine yet so, you may want to hold off.
Typical file sizes for older SNES games seem to be in the 20-30 MB range.
1.) Neither, You need to use either Wiimote (normal or plus), Wiimote+Nunchuk, or Wii Classic Controller (or CCPro). I recommend the Wii Classic Controller Pro. However, you can use the Gamepad as a screen for your Wii games.
2.) Seeing as you haven't played a game since the Gamecube era, and having no idea of what type of games you enjoy except SSB, I can barely recommend games, but: Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Sonic: Lost World, The Wonderful 101, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, New Super Mario Bros. U (and Luigi U), maybe Lego City: Undercover or Zombi U, and eventually Mario Kart 8.
3.) Injustice is a good game, though I believe the Wii U version doesn't have all the DLC/doesn't have the 'Ultimate Edition). Black Ops 2 is good if you enjoy Call of Duty post Modern Warfare 4. Neither games are 'elite/hardcore' in their respective genres (Fighting/FPS).
4.) I'd recommend the Wii U Pro Controller for most Wii U games that support it. There are some good Virtual Console titles on the Wii U eshop, like Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Megaman X, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Earthbound for SNES, and more recently Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Metroid Fusion, and Kirby & the Amazing Mirror for GBA, with Golden Sun, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Yoshi's Island coming in the next week.
I would argue Nintendo made an even better controller than the gamecube that gets overlooked far too often.
Wii Classic Controller Pro
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002TLTBN0.01.lg.jpg
Definitely get that one, it's perfect for MH
what was said about being interpreted literally, but for the shape as well.
What I think a more realistic version of this would look like is a cell phone, in the shape of a classic controller pro, with 2 thumb pads similar to the 3ds's. I personally think it's an awesome idea.
Add these together then put the zelda pic on it.:

> Is there a good controller with the layout of a pro but the joystick of a GC?
The Wii Classic Pro controller is the best controller design ever IMO. It has GC joysticks on the bottom, a good D-pad, and the face buttons feel great.
Unfortunately, it's one of the ones that awkwardly plugs into the Wii remote. If it was a standalone like the Wii U Pro controller it would be amazing.
I like the Classic Pro controller.

Most people probably won't agree (or didn't even know it was possible), but Wii Classic Controller/Classic Controller Pro with the Mayflash converter is another option. If you get the Classic Controller Pro with Mayflash, it actually comes out a little cheaper than the 360 controller.
That being said, there are some conversion issues which require some other programs to work with. Still, it's a nice controller.
I use this & this for all my gaming needs, both retro and non....
...and the only issue i've ever had with it is that the driver can cause a BSOD if you constantly plug and unplug the device. Also, you have to have the controller plugged in before you plug in the device itself...
...maybe that's just issues with this device, but it's something to keep in mind...
The ones that plug into the wiimotes are called wii classic controller pro. The ones that are wireless/usb are pro controllers
They're just referring to these:
Classic Controller
Classic Controller Pro
They're just controllers made for the Wii's Virtual Console, but they plugged into the Wii remote itself to make it wireless.
Keep in mind that everything lacking a "Wii" logo in the top center of the controller is a knockoff and is probably garbage.
If you want a Classic Controller, you want to buy one of these two:
Black
White
The classic controller can be used for every Wii VC title, so you can use the classic controller for OOT and Majora's Mask and all of the NES, SNES, and N64 titles on the Wii VC.
(I prefer the [classic controller pro] (http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398710109&sr=8-1&keywords=classic+controller+pro).)
Best bet for playing TP without motion control is playing it on Gamecube.
Have you tried SS? The motion control is beautiful, best use of it on the system, 1:1 movement of the sword. Could be wrong, but I don't think there is any way to play it without the motion control.
I usually just play on my Wii U, but I bought an adapter for the wii classic pro controller, it's my favorite controller for all my games. http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1397574145&sr=1-1&keywords=wii+classic+pro+controller
This is the adapter I bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089O4EB0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Most other people prefer the gamecube controller for smash though. See /u/baldbutt 's comment for that though c:
> Some soft-ass Millennials are gonna get arthritis for Christmas.
Fortunately they used the same plugs as the [Wii Classic controller] (https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-nintendo/dp/B000IN0BSU/ref=pd_sim_63_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=41SKjuShldL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL320_SR268%2C320_&psc=1&refRID=ZXT8DZ4F1ZSZFRVGJR4X) or Wii Classic controller Pro so you can use that instead of gouging your hands.
do note that no wii u controllers (the gamepad and wii u pro controller) can be used in wii mode, and therefore cannot be used with wii games. you will need a wii remote and nunchuck, and possibly might want a classic controller pro to cover any controller needs for wii games. there are no current wii u bundles that come with any of that stuff, so make sure you pick up some of the aforementioned items if you plan to even boot up wii mode (the wii u doesn't let you start wii mode without a wii remote, so you have to have at least one of those). also, make sure that any wii remotes you get says "wii motion plus inside" on the bottom of the controller. while it is practically impossible to get the old kind, having one of the old kind would not allow you to fully enjoy some wii u games, such as nintendoland (a great multiplayer game that, while lacking online multiplayer, is great to have if your siblings ever come and visit). basically it needs to look like this, though colours may vary
also i would recommend the deluxe bundle, as it comes with a game, and a special promotion where you get 10% of all your eshop purchases on the wii u back to be used towards future eshop purchases.
depending where you live, i would highly recommend this bundle. it may not be available anymore, but i think it is the best deal. i haven't played zombiu myself, but i heard it is a pretty decent survival-horror game that really shows off the features of the wii u.
They may be referring to the Classic Controller Pro-
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002TLTBN0.01.lg.jpg
Wii U Pro Controller,
Wii Classic Pro Controller, or the
Wii U Smash Wireless GC Controllers
I highly recommend these three if you can't find the adapter and if you want to be comfortable to play SSB then the three that I mention will do but if you want to use the controllers with other games then I highly recommend the Wii U Pro since the controller is mostly compatible with other games.
The "Classic Controller Pro", right? Not the WiiU "Pro Controller"?
No, they go for a lot more used $25 plus shipping is what I'm looking to get.

Yeah, there is a Wii Pro Controller that works. But you plug it into the Wii Remote for it to work. After that it's a normal controller. It's very similar to a PS2 controller but it doesn't have clicky sticks. It comes in 3 colors, so it's up to you which one to pick. If you want a white one, buy it here. If you want a black one, buy it here. If you want a golden one, buy it here. There is always the Wii U Pro Controller which comes in both white and black, but that only works on Wii U games and not Wii games.
My controller of choice is the Wii Classic Controller Pro. The face buttons can take a bit of getting used to, but the sticks are really nice and have the same octagon gates, it feels good to hold, and the shoulder buttons are worlds better than the GC's shoulder buttons. The GC's shoulder buttons are the sole reason I can never use that controller
edit: this thing https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002TLTBN0.01.lg.jpg Not the wii u pro controller
Go to target and/or gamestop etc and buy the Classic Wiimote Controller. It plugs into the standard wiimote, but give you all that same buttons as the PS3 remote. This is what I use
When you have it, just plug it up to the wiimote, then turn on the Wii Remote control app. It should find it no problem, it will say "Classic Controller detected!" Hit a couple of button and you should see that it's registering.
Edit: Make sure its the official Nintendo Wii Classic controller, it will have the Wii logo on the front. I bought a cheap one off of Amazon and it didn't work at all.

It's a "Wii Classic Controller Pro".
Sorry for not being specific enough xD
Do you think it will work?
This
You can use the Wii Classic Controller (https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Nintendo-Standard/dp/B002TLTBN0/?th=1), but that's all I know about the VWii. Even with the adapter, GCN controllers won't work on the VWii. If you want more controller options, see if the game is available on the Wii U EShop. Good luck.
I actually just borrowed melee from a friend! And I've been playing smash bros since the n64 version, but I've never actually owned a nintendo console until now. Now my problem is that I don't have any gamecube controllers. Is the Classic Controller Pro any good for smash bros? I also see some used gamecube controllers for $14, so I might just go with that.
These are the ones I found (theyre german but its just for the pics)

My friend has that and loves it. Personally though, a GC controller feels much more awkward to use than a PS2 controller. When I'm emulating an N64 on my computer, I usually use a 360 controller or a Logitech Gamepad (which is styled after the PS2 controller). So on the physical system, the PS2->N64 adapter here seems like it would be much nicer (and more familiar) for me than using a GC controller...
That said, the original Wii Pro controller is a fantastic middle-ground between GC and PS2, better than either one really; I'd love to find an adapter for using one of those instead!
>Where is the cheapest I can find a classic controller pro?
Amazon is your best bet.
They aren't being manufactured anymore.
These fight pads work exactly like classic controllers.
>Does sonic all stars racing support a pro controller?
Yup.
>Are there still people online on Injustice Gods Among Us or Mass Effect 3?
Pretty dead compared to any other console, but you'll occassionally get lucky.
> Does Injustice and Mass Effect have any of the dlc released
Some Injustice DLC.
Mass Effect comes with some, but not all is available (particularly the Omega DLC).
>Are all the lego games (lego marvel, batman 2 and 3) lacking dlc on wii u?
Correct, no DLC.
This looks like all the fan mock-ups of the controllers....
So either the fans just guessed right, or it's faked... It seems hard to believe they would make it look that way.
Then again, same shape as the Pro, huh? http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1303679077&sr=8-7
Ah, for a second I thought it worked without the Wiimote. If it still has to be plugged in, how is it any different than the Wii Classic Controller Pro? Amazon has them for $15.
Edit: In retrospect, I see you have the Wii Wireless Retro Controller, which does work like I thought, but you linked to the wired version, presumably because the wireless version is out of stock.
Ahhh, I see. What you're referring to as the classic controller others are saying is the pro controller.
Apparently, this is the classic controller and the one you are showing is called the classic controller pro.
hahaa So confusing. Wow.
So would this be the right combination?
Wiimote: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Remote-Plus-Black/dp/B00N4OAELY/ref=pd_sim_63_22?ie=UTF8&dpID=41pDVGqtA6L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=16YNA1JFTG39VX3J6MD2

The Wiimote and Nunchuk say WiiU on the box, but the controller says Wii. Is this right?
The pro controller doesn't use sockets -- unless you mean USB in which case it is a different socket. The classic controller pro does use the Wiimote socket.
I was talking about this one https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0

New official Wii Classic Controller Pros go for around $50 online and since they're out of production it's very unlikely you'll find one in a store.
looks like a "gamestop brand" version of the wii's classic controller pro
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002TLTBN0.01.lg.jpg
I'm pretty sure that's what it does when the controller is unsupported. I'm almost certain the n64 games only work with the classic controller pro , not the plain classic controller. But the pro seems to be quite hard to find, at least around where I live.
Do yourself a favor and pick up one of these:

You'll thank me later: it's the only controller properly suited for playing Xenoblade 1

When I saw it at GS, it was clear to me that it wasn't a Wii U Pro Controller, but an all-in-one Classic Controller that didn't require you to tether to a Wiimote.
I upvoted you because I guess a lot of people must be confused by this, but I never for a moment thought this was supposed to be a Wii U Pro Controller.
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0
It's been a "Pro" controller for the Wii much longer than it has for the Wii U.
I don't think it's misleading at all. Look at the box. It clearly states:
And it also has bluetooth and works with Android.
It also clearly states on their website:
