Title: VC controller option question
Post by: MushroomJunkie on September 27, 2008, 12:51:33 PM: Can I use a GameCube controller on Virtual Console games or can I only use the Classic Controller?

If you don't have a Classic Controller, think carefully about whether you want one--the sticks are kind of awkwardly placed so I don't use it for Nintendo 64 games. I like it better than the lone Remote for older games, though. Games like Super Mario World are practically unplayable with a GameCube controller.

I coped with playing SMW with the Gamecube controller by using my thumb on the B button and my index finger on the Y button before I got the VC controllers. The Gamecube controller I found great for N64 games.

I don't find playing N64 games awkward at all with the GC controller. What I do find awkward is trying to walk when playing SMB before remembering that I can't..

This is their only decision that made that thought enter your mind?

For Nintendo 64 controls mapped to the GameCube controller, L=L, R=R, Z=Z would not be perfect. It would be retarded. L is rarely used. Z is right under your index finger on the 64, so Z to L is right. R is right where it was, so R to R is good.
