    I'd not say they lied to us, but moreso discouraged us from using the GCN controller and were trying to move forwards with the Wiimote and Classic Controller. Still, after all these years, the Wiimote and Classic Controller died, yet the GCN controller lives on.
    Fun fact: The Classic Controller has analog triggers whereas the Pro Controller has digital triggers.

    DBZ Tenkaichi 2 was like this. It lists Wiimote, Nunchuk, and classic controller on the box, so I bought a classic controller just to play with no motion controls. But then I didn't like the classic controller for that game and found out I could use the gamecube controller I already owned. The classsic controller still comes in handy for snes games on the wii, but other than that, the Gamecube is a way better controller.

    The Wii console says you can plug a Gamecube controller into it, because it plays Gamecube and Wii games. And it ask which controller you will use in settings. Now can it use a wireless Gamecube controller? Then there is the Wii Pro controller which resembles a PS2 controller. The Wii Pro controller can be used on all Wii games like Donkey Kong Country Returns, Resident Evil, Batman. The Gamecube controller is for Gamecube games. If the controller rumble is a issue use the correct Wii Pro controller for Wii games.

    1:50 Actually Nintendo has mentioned Brawl worked with GameCube controllers when it released on the back. You just got a copy that was made around later in the Wii's lifetime when Nintendo took off the GameCube backwards compatibility on newer model Wii's, which could be the same with Sin and Punishment. Also thanks for mentioning RE4 works with it! Now I have a reason to get back on the Wii version instead of going on another port

    A lot of these actually did say that the GameCube controller was supported, and only later prints don't have the GameCube controller icon because later Wii consoles didn't have support for it. They didn't want to say it was compatible with the controller after they removed support for the controller, so they removed all references to it from the cases.

    What a great cause to support! Well done guys. I think the reason why the logo for GameCube controller support not appearing on the back of some boxes is because the game did not submitted support for the pad to Nintendo QA. If this happens then you cannot add it as a box of the box feature. So you can support it, but unless Nintendo test it, it can’t be an official feature.

    I don't usually mind classic controllers since they are fairly comfy but I would still prefer the Gamecube controller whenever possible. You pretty much hit the nail on the head with me when it came to Sin & Punishment and Nights on the Wii. I thought those were Wiimote and Nunchuck only titles which I actively avoid (Wiimote only is fine though like Donkey Kong Country Returns, but I despise the Nunchuck) simply because I prefer a traditional-ish style controller instead. Knowing this about Sin & Punishment and Nights has basically sold those games for me instantly now so thanks for the info.
    By the way, it is possible to use Gamecube controllers for games that only support Classic controllers at best by using a Raphnet Gamecube to Wiimote adapter. It basically treats the Gamecube controller as a classic controller for the Wii/Wii U and can also be used on the NES/SNES classic consoles. The C-stick is your right analog stick, Z is treated as both Zr and ZL and all other buttons are translated pretty literally to the classic controller buttons so as long as the game your playing doesn't need both Z buttons on the classic controller then it makes a great way to hook up a Gamecube controller. This is especially nice for Wii's that don't even have Gamecube controller ports at all. Happy gaming my dudes! :)

    GameCube all the way for Smash Bros and since my Wii is retired to be my GameCube console. Because if you have a Razer or any kind of mouse that has buttons on the side and you have those for your edits or whatever you have those set to be but it stops working for some reason and you have to relearn the controls. Because I had to relearn the controls for GTA 5 on Xbox because I had the mapping of PlayStation buttons. Like you don't want to have your hands to learn the controller layout on a new controller like anyone I know haven't use the nunchuck for Super Mario Bros Wii because it says on the back the nunchuck but everyone I know does it NES style

GameCube controller prefer for damn sure, most of the time the wiimote drives me up the wall and is the main reason I steered away from ports on the Wii mostly.
    I might have to just try out every wii game we got, especially the racing and transformers ones to see if the GameCube controllers secretly work.
    Maybe they were trying to force people to buy the Wii classic controller instead of reusing their GameCube controllers they already had. Sorry Nintendo, but to quote the fresh prince “uh uh, no no way, forget it!”
