   It’s a good pad, but the analogue sticks are a little too close together. Also, it doesn’t work with Gamecube games, and isn’t as comfortable as the Wavebird either. Now don’t get me wrong, it is NOT uncomfortable, just not as comfortable. Buy a Wavebird if you can, but if you can’t get one of these then.

   Ok, first of all, it is a great idea to get the classic controller, as it does add to the enjoyment of the Wii, It includes all the “Wii Buttons” and it even works with the Wii Menu (so you can use analog sticks instead of the wii mote if you like)

   But I do however find the controller uncomfortable.
   
   It is basically a SNES controller with analog sticks!

   The thing I find annoying about it, is the wire comes to the bottom. this wire annoys me when I am playing, I would prefer it come from the top.

   However saying that, the buttons are easy to use, and it does work better then the GameCube controller, but it can feel like it is going to slip out of your hands, it could do with better grip (like the original GameCube controller), but some could say that the layout makes it feel more like the original SNES games, and stuff.
   
   This maybe great, but if you are looking at downloading other titles, like the N64 games, where the second stick becomes “C” (up,down,left and right) it can become pretty annoying, especailly for some games. Like Mario Kart, ok the C buttons only really controlled camera angles and stuff. The great thing about the buttons was that you could still hold down the A button, then change camera angles etc… using another finger, this one, see’s you letting go of the A button, to use the “C” button.

   That aside though, it is still one of the best things to get for your Wii, but I must say that ONLY buy this controller if you plan to play a LOT of Virtual Console games, although it can be used for other games aswell (Mortal Kombat, NiGHTS etc…) I would only really still get it, if you know you will use it a lot!

   The Wii classic controller is a must if you are wanting to download the classic versions of Mario and Donkey Kong on the Wii. it makes playing the games much simpler, as the jump and run buttons are in a similar place to the original SNES controller unlike the gamecube controller which is bulky and awkward to use. it is also wireless just plug into your Wii controller and off you go. i would definitely recommend this for any retro gamers out there wanting to once again play the classic games.

   If you are a big user of virtual console then this is absolutely essential. It fits in your hands perfectly, the buttons are well placed, and it works with EVERY game on virtual console. But, if you’re planning to get gamecube games as well, then you might as well get a gamecube controller, as the classic doesn’t work with gamecube games.GameCube Controller Purple (GameCube) Plus the gamecube controller also works with every VC game and feels even more well shaped to your hands. So, to conclude, the classic controller is cool, it’s modern, but just not as good as the gamecube controller.

   The controller is nicely made, comfortable, and works perfectly. There are cheaper non-wii versions available, but I don’t regret playing safe.
