Wii to have a Classic controller

Edit: Looking in the reflection it looks like there's two buttons on the underside.

Good call man. Maybe those will be used for the Genesis games. The genesis had 6 face buttons, right? I never owned one.

The Genesis's normal controller had a directional pad, a start button, and 3 face buttons, and they later released a 6 button one, primarily used by fighting games, which had a Mode button in case a 3 button game had issues. As such, they could just use the L/R buttons for the fifth and sixth buttons, and the select button as the mode button, if not flat out ignore that and make the detection automatic/recode to be a non-issue.

Okay just saw a Wii Promotional video Click Me
I want one now.
Seriously those games looked awesome.

Holy shit.

Yea, I agree. I was sold for sure with Metroid Prime and that swordfighting game. That looked flippin' sweet. For the most part Zelda looked more like it would use the Wii controller as an extra gimmick aside from the fishing, so I'll likely stick with the Cube or the classic controller for that one. I was also glad to see the lock-on would still be a part of the Metroid game (looked like it to me anyway) because that was my biggest problem with Hunters. Though aiming would probably be a lot easier with the Wii controller than the stylus. But I still want lock-on.

As if the downloadable oldschool games weren't enough to convince me to buy one, seeing this stuff merits a preorder.

Completely agreed. Nintendo have provided me with more than enough reasons to get the console at launch, a first for me. It's biggest selling point for me is the lower price (OK, we don't know what it is yet, but we know it'll be significantly lower than the 360 or PS3.)

Will Wii games be compatible with both the TV remote and this SNES style controller? Also I'd like to buy Zelda on launch with my new Wii, but there's no way I want to play with the TV remote like they demonstrated at E3. Does anyone know if Zelda Wii will incorporate use of the standard controller?

[Cauton]

From the sounds of it it's entirely up to the developers wheter the game will support the SNES controller or not. Regarding Twilight Princess, I must say that after watching the E3 demonstration there's no way I'll play the Wii version. That fairy that represents the location of the pointer is way too fucking annoying, and I kept starting at it and couldn't concentrate on the actual gameplay.

I'm the same as you Cauton. I just realized I could buy the GCN version and just play it on my Wii with a GCN controller, but no way in hell am I playing with the wand.

Hopefully there will be a way to turn the fairy off (or at least make it stop following your pointer). One thing to be noted, however, is the following Q&A taken from a Kotaku interview:

How different is playing Zelda TP on the Wii versus the Gamecube?
Miyamoto: In terms of the experience, the interface is different. I've gotten used to the Wii controller with Zelda and incapable of going back to the Gamecube. The 16:9 widescreen is obviously a big difference. With a game like Zelda, seeing more of the landscape is important. Obviously on the Gamecube version, the sides will be cropped in 4:3.
(Full interview available here: http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/nintendo/e306-super-smash-bros-brawl-qa-173071.php)

For me, the widescreen and 480p would sell me a Wii version, especially considering my TV makes pretty much anything non-HD look pretty bad. Then again, if Miyamoto could get used to it, maybe I could too...?

i prefer the normal than the nunchaku xD, i really prefer the standard pad,s than the strange project basically. I think nintendo make good in take the risk to make a new experience player,s , maybe then i played with wii, i change the opinion but for  the moment not. And uhm, anyone had thought how will be the faqs of the games of wii? xD, is pretty stupid , but when we read the faq,s  , what they will write "take the pad this form, and hit to right  360 grades Oo"
