RTFM dammit
Printing a full list of supported controllers isn't too bad, though.

He still sucks at LttP, mind you.
for the record, it's not in the manual either. If they had printed no controller options on the back of the box I'd be less confused than when they printed EVERY SINGLE one except that one.

Actually, I'm still not sure what he meant.

Classic Controller and GameCube Controller are totally different beasts. As he's combined the names, it's impossible to tell which he was thinking of.

And the Classic Controller can't be used on GameCube software, so it's not an even remotely logical error.

Which means that you suck at it, because you aren't that far yet.

Did Nintendo rerelease the Gamecube controller in a Nintendo Wii colour scheme?

I think he meant why did you say he suck, not what does LttP stand for.

I just used context, which is what usually works when people say things that are literally incorrect. Since he said "I also thought" it means he was agreeing with someone, namely me. Since I had said I thought you had to use the classic controller, I deduced from context that since we was agreeing with me (or at least seemed to be) that he must have then been referring to the classic controller and not the gamecube controller.

Of course knowing Franpa he failed literal correctness and context and still managed to be in some way correct.

I had no idea there even was a redistributed GC controller for wii users, never-the-less as a piece of hardware it's still just a GC controller, only whiter, and any game will still recognize it as one.

Ok, well where do you plug the GCN controllers into the Wii? I couldn't find anything for them o_O if there on the back of the console then that would explain why.

I likely assumed you needed some wireless variation of the GCN controller and it was another way for Nintendo to make money.

Wrong. it's covered by an access panel on the side of the Wii. The memory card slots are on the same side as well, IIRC in a different panel.
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?

yeah it's on the side panel, you can't miss it, you can plug in any gamecube controller devise etc. people have even made new 3rd party controllers that are wireless classic controller-like devises but they plug into the gamecube controller port.

You can even remove this panel. If you have your Wii standing upright it's on the top of the console.

Cool thanks, I obviously didn't RTFM since I was only keen on plying the games that were present and I had a tv that displayed the gamecube clearly at the time ^^"

i bought a gcn controller for 15 bucks, and a 6 foot extension for $0.01 + shipping. 3 bucks shipped.

gcn controllers had ridiculously short cords. love that wired xbox controllers come with 9 ft standard
