Classic Joypad!

[SuperJario]

I just wanted to discuss this Classic joypad that is going to be available. i think its a great idea personally! Who agree's? Of course people are going to want to give the Nunchuck and remote a go! But its always good knowing that the Old Classic joypad will still be there when you need it.

how many games will need i suppose is the question.

one of the main features of the wii is the controler and nunchuck. plus alot of the games take the controlers and use it to the max.

the only reason i can see me using something rather than the wii remote is the GC controler.

is this other remote just for certain games or does it work with all wii games is a question as well. i'l try find out

[watchdog]

The old-school controller is only for the Nintendo gamecube and the games you can buy with Wii points on the internet. No Wii games will be compatible with this controller.

Watchdog out :arrow: :arrow:

[Rob]

that settles it for most people then, because i think alot of us will have GC controlers to play with.

do you think its just a way of selling something as an accesory for the wii?

[SuperJario]

Oh right, Yeah i think it is! I was actually hoping that this controller worked onn all Wii games but ok lol.

To be honest i dont really like the look of this new style of playing a game, Id rather just sit down relax and enjoy a game using 2 hands but hopefully ill get used to this new Remote and Nunchuck thingy.

[Rob]

i found this little table on the nintendo website.
tellls you what controlers can be used for what platformes

Platform Wii Remote Classic Controller GCN Controller

NES Yes Yes Yes
SNES No Yes Yes
N64 No Yes Yes
Genesis Some Yes Undetermined
TurboGrafx-16 Yes Yes Undetermined

still not gonna get one tho.

[budtom]

Well i'm not too bothered about the classic controller. I will be getting some classics, however i'm more looking forward to using the new controllers with my family for mulitplayer and mates. However i also think that the new controllers will be good for pro gamers or heavy gamers, such as ourselves.

[SuperJario]

With this new control technology its gonna be so fun with family and friends during multiplayer on alot of games, Espesually games like Super Smash Bros: Brawl & other fighting games.

[Foz]

i love super smash brothers, when my m8s come over we still always play melee, so when brawl comes out its gonna be so cool

[SuperJario]

Yeah it will be fun foz. espesually with this new Wii technology!

[Foz]

oooooooooooooooh yeah!

[SuperJario]

Foz did you ever play the first Super Smash Bros on the N64? What did you think of it?

[Foz]

lol i didnt actualy, the N64 was my introduction to gaming, it was the first console i got because the rest of my life i lived in a big house in a hamlep and kinda isolatedfrom thw world, aahh the good days, but no i havnt played it on N64 :S

[SuperJario]

Ok i was just wondering as i haven't played Melee for some reason...i just completly went of the Gamecube.

[budtom]

You haven't played melee? seriously go buy it, that game rocks, even playing it now is fun, it's just so amazingly good

[SuperJario]

I will, Or shall i wait till i get the Wii then just play it on there till i get Brawl?

[budtom]

i'd buy melee tbh get both experiences, brawl is a fair way away i think march

[SuperJario]

Ok. I dont know why i didnt buy it i just completly went off the Gamecuve for some reason and left it rotting anyway under my bed lol! I just didnt enjoy it half as much as i did the older Nintendo systems.

[Mrjingjing]

you just cannot have a state of the art console without going back to basics and bringing out a classic version

[Foz]

thats true

[SuperJario]

Yeah i know what you mean fellas but ill be okay.. 8)

[SuperJario]

This has been bugging me for a while and now ive finally remembered to ask those of you who have a Wii,

Can you use the Classic controller on new Wii games like the new Zelda? - I wouldn't want to use it im just curious.

[budtom]

i haven't tried, but i think that thats a no mate because it would say on the box and it would be really silly because it would be like the GC experience and you can't use GC controllers just for the fact that nintendo what you to buy both to play both versions. The remotes work better than any old sony, xbox, or GC controllers.

[SuperJario]

Okay thanks budtom, yeah i fort so anyway it would be stupid really.

[budtom]

Lol you get confused between me and rob, i'm budtom lol not rob.

[SuperJario]

Wooops haha yeah i know its so weird i'll edit the post now sorry mate.

[Rob]

2 things
agree with budtom, can't use classic with other wii games, partley becasue they want to make money and so they can sell two different types of controlers.
number 2 how many times have you got me and budtom confused? lol

[SuperJario]

Haha quite a lot of times, i dont mean it i dunno what it is its just you both have the same points of view and talk the same so some how i must get confused :? I wont be doing it nomore lol.

[budtom]

I think that for smash bros you can use the GC controller or the classic just because it'll be a hell of alot easier to control than the remote.

[mattman81]

Has anyone got the Classic Controller yet?? If so, what's it like (if you've used for VC downloads, that is). Cheers :)

[dylan]

Has still no one got one they can tell us about?

[SuperJario]

I am meaning to buy one but i cant be bothered to go out and buy points right now. Although i already have Sonic 1, Bomberman and Super mario bros i just use a Gamecube controller or tilt the Wiimote sideways. I am looking to buy it soon though!

[Rob]

i'm thinking of buying the points off the wii shopping chanel, for 2 reasons; 1) i'm incredibly lazy and 2) its slightly cheaper
1000 points for £7 instead of 2000 points for £15

[synkronize]

as ive posted in another thread it seems you will have to buy a classic controller to play some VC games to my dismay they way they have configured the controls for some games doesnt take advantage of the Gamecube controller you can still use the gc controller but it is really annoying for games like super mario world (snes) where u have to hold the run button & jump run is Y & jump is B you try pressing both with jus your thumb its rather awkward, shame there isnt an option in the game for button config that would b much better then you could setup the games to suit the GC controller
suppose i will have to get the classic one 11.99 aint bad though i thought it would b more than that.

[thelocaluk]

I keep meaning to pick up a classis controller, its been on my shopping list for too long. Where did you see it for £11.99, thats a good price? I see HMV sell them at that price but they never have any in stock :(

[synkronize]

well ive jus tried to order off hmv it has option to buy & also underneath it says add to wish list so im not sure if they have stock or not
i checked for some of the other wii products games etc & they also had option to buy & for wishlist so im figuring its in stock
i will just have to wait & see. :?:

[Heapy]

Can't believe no-one else has one.... did you all have Game Cubes?!

I like it but find it a little too big, can be a bit of a stretch with the left thumb on the analogue stick playing Mario Kart.

Need to find a better way of holding it I guess but overall it's a good controller IMO

[dylan]

did you all have Game Cubes?!

Never had a game cube, but I got 2 controllers just for the Wii. Local indepent gameshop= £15 the pair! but I still want the classic controller for 3 player Mario Kart

[captainff]

that settles it for most people then, because i think alot of us will have GC controlers to play with.

do you think its just a way of selling something as an accesory for the wii?


have you downloaded SMW from the VC??

try playing that on a GC controller! the buttons are configured all wrong!

to play SNES games easily, you NEED the classic.

if Nintendo follow through the SNES button layout to new releases you may find that it becomes an essential purchase. . . .

Do you really think Google or Apple really care where you are going everyday? I dont get all the fuss over the location stuff. I really dont think these huge companies care about where each and every user is at all times. Sounds like they use the data they receive from the location tracking to make our lives easier. Mac iPod to iTunes (http://www.freeipodtransfer.com/ipod-transfer-mac.html/) ... And I think that group should be the decision makers. Samsung should not be able to see Apple products, even Apple should be able to see Samsung's future products. You should ask the judge for two terms or the group under NDA, and let them decide. Then you can start breaking the NDA leak.

Theres no illegal downloading of property there. Well, if they have a torrent site to find out where the OS will then yes that is illegal, but I do not think to ask, on a dev account breaks all laws.

Well, I like RockMelt at work, because it keeps Facebook in a place where people around me don't recognize the edges as being Facebook. I still had to bring FB up in the actual browser to write on friends' walls, and the way the bookmarks were organized made me crazy. Finally, RockMelt failed to retail my login info for Facebook and other sites, so every time I restarted the browser, I had to reenter all that, whereas Safari just handles it. I have the RockMelt app, and it's OK. But the FB app is pretty cool already and I think I'll probably stick with Safari (which I almost never need) and the FB app. backup blu-ray (http://www.bluraymoviecopy.com/) Last week I scored three (got the third for free) for $10.

How about making notifications do absolutely anything else besides open up dead smack in the middle of what you are doing, distracting you, and commanding your attention endlessly. How many brilliant PhD's in Apple Ergonomics thought that up? You can make a powerful computer as thin as a magazine, but allowing a device to halt you with whatever you are doing, and have no control to scuttle the never ending cavalcade of pop ups was a benefit to the user how? I've owned an IPad2 for all of two weeks, my first Apple device ever, and I can't for life of me understand how notifications are being managed this way on a device in 2011.

Why would that even be necessary if they can get it just as easily from the app store for free? Dumb restrictions making a good app unavailable to all who don't jailbreak.
