I need a normal controller for my Wii. Don't get me wrong, I love the Wiimote, but it get's a little old when playing MLB Power Pros and some other games for an extended amount of time. So, which is better? The Classic or a GameCube controller? I do like the Classic for it's wireless capabilities.

The game cube controller is something I've raped with in super smash bros and I could never pass it over.....

It's really just preference. I think whatever suits you should be used by all!

I've only played on GameCube a handful of times, so I'm not familiar with the controllers. The Classic seems like it may not be too comfortable for extended play. Wish the GameCube ones were wireless, that's the only thing I'm worried about. I do remember the cords being pretty short.

I thought they did make wireless game cube controllers because I swear my friend had 1....hmmmm, maybe I'm just being silly.

They might, but it's hard enough finding the normal ones. I'm just looking to pick one up at a local GameStop. If I can't find one, I'll just get the Classic Controller or buy one off Amazon or something.

Id say the gamecube because it just has that familiar feel to it.

The gamecube controller was probably the most comforatable controller in the world.
