I also didnt notice till midway that i was playing the game with the joystick, not d-pad.

Me too. The analog stick just feels right.

Fuck the Genesis.

That's the most offensive thing you've ever said.

So does my asshole.

240poop?

Still waiting for a reason to open my Classic Controller.

To me the classic controller seems unnecessary if you have a Wavebird. Am I wrong?

Yes. The GameCube's button layout is god awful.

True enough, but I'd rather use my Wavebird than spend $20 on yet another controller that I will use only rarely for VC games.

If you're going to play VC games the Classic Controller is the most fun way to do so, but the only VC games I play are TG-16 (which work just fine with the Wii Remote held NES-style). For Wii/Cube games the CC is useless so far; if only I could use the CC on XBLA.....

[kingoffighters]

Can you use CC to play GC games?

[K3V]

Yeah, I've only bought Alien Crush so far and the Wii remote sideways is perfect for it.

[Grave]

The Classic Controller sucks for TG16 and N64 games. No customizable layout = using B and A. For christ's sake, they're not even in the right place for the layout to even come close to making sense for N64 games. It's really uncomfortable, and I will use the GC pad forever over doing that. I want to use Y and B. There's no reason that I shouldn't be able to do that.

It's great for SNES, Genesis, and shooters where only one button is really important. It should be great for everything. Jerks.

Edit: I don't have any NES VC games. Does Y = B there? On TG16, Y and X are the II and I buttons with turbo on.
