gamecube like classic controllers?

Postby motherbra1n » 07 Sep 2010 13:24

apart from the hori one (which looks confusing as hell) does anyone know of any gamecube like classic controllers for the wii available in the uk? cos playing monster hunter tri with a classic controller pro just feels a bit weird and id much prefer a gamecube like controller

I'm not aware of any. Can't you just use a wavebird? Or do those not work with that game?

Third parties still make Gamecube controllers for Wii.

all of the gamecube style controllers ive seen, are actual gamecube controllers that only plug into the gamecube port.. you need one that works with the wiimote.. cause monster hunter uses only classic/pro besides the wiimote nunchuk.

heres a way you can use an actual gamecube controller.. but it looks fairly difficult.

heres a controller that plugs into the wiimote.. looks fairly comfortable and it works with all software that utilizes classic control(mixed comments, you should read):

here is a nifty ps2 controller to wiimote adapter(there is also a ps2 to gc adapter too):

if your want a wireless. check out this. ive never used one though.. so i dont really know the weight and how good it plays. looks kinda awkward:

and... if you have a game that uses the gamecube port.. here is an awesome 4 in 1 adapter.. can use nes, snes, n64 and genesis controllers for your vc! :D

how about you just use a classic pro controller or a wavebird.

I dont get it. There is not really any major difference between a Classic Pro and a Gamecube controller, minus the analog stick placement. I understand that the PS2 layout is pretty uncomfortable, but you'll get used to it.

Well your best bet is a classic pro controller or a regular classic controller.

is this more like what you were looking for? plugs into wiimote.. so it will work with MH:3.
id say thats about the closest youll get to a GC controller.

ive ordered stuff from the uk a couple times and the shipping wasnt that bad.
how much is shipping through amazon?

also, try asking a local game store to order one for you. might cost them less since they deal direct with a distributor.
