Can you use the wii classic controller for nintendo gamecube games?
You can’t use the classic controller to play gamecube games. When the wii is in gamecube mode, it loses access to all of the wii peripherals (bluetooth, usb, wifi, etc.), so it won’t recognize your wii remote. Open the flaps on the top of the wii to reveal ports for gamecube controllers as well as gamecube memory cards. Just plug a gamecube controller and memory card in and you’re good to go. All gamecube controllers will work with the wii, you don’t need anything special.
