Wii - Classic Controller or Wavebird?

Which Pad for Virtual Console titles and other forthcoming titles which allow alternate controllers... Metal Slug, Smash Bros. etc.

Depends if you value the rumble, the wavebird don't have the rumble but its wireless.

For future Wii titles, i'd go with the classic controller.

But if you are planning to play GC games, you'll need a GC controller or Wavebird anyway.

The whole thing with controllers for the Wii is a bit crazy, but I can see what it can't really be avoided.

I must have spent about £175 on controllers and nunchucks - basically doubling the cost

But i don't mind - I should (as soon as the 3 nun-chucks I ordered arrive) be able to have some real fun !

There is the fact that now i have the controllers I'm set for future - so its a one off expense but even so !

And i haven't even got a single classic controller yet !

£175 just on controllers? What did you buy and did you get them from an auction site or something?

3 wiimote = £90
3 nunchucks = £45

Still £135.....the wii comes with a set, how do you spent £175 on controllers?

3 wiimotes (One with wiiplay @ £34.99, other 2 @ £29.99) = £94.97
3 nunchucks @ £14.99 ea = £44.97
2 wavebirds @ £17.99 ea = £35.98

TOTAL - £175.92.....

ahhh, I already have a GC and 2 GC pads and 1 wavebird so I am sorted in that department.

It was an awesome controller but the 360 one spanks it completely. I still like it though.

Agreed, the Wavebird is very good, but the 360 pad is better.

What games support 4 players playing at the same time using all 4 controllers? I know Tennis does, but games like golf you can use one controller at a time.

Nunchuck is only useful for boxing game...I know you need 4 remotes for multi players but 4 nunchunks?! There is always 2 players in boxing game...what else? :confused:

Well even 2 would be enough so you swap while the other is playing, are any games planned that would use 4?
