Wii Class Controller works fine
We've not had the best luck with finding the right controller for our Wii. Specifically, the old Gamecube controllers which work with some of the classic Nintendo games. The little toggle switch seems to sieze up and stop working. Luckily, the classic Wii controller doesn't do that, and it can be used with the Nintendo classic games very well. Though I can't say it is 100% perfect, it's certainly the best choice out there.

One benefit but big downside
Why do I have this controller that will not work on Nintendo Gamecube games that I want to play on my Wii? The only benefit this offers is that it plugs into your Wii-mote and then becomes semi-wireless (still killing your batteries). Do yourself a favor and spend the same $20 on a wireless Gamecube controller. You can still play the virtual console games, plus the Gamecube discs, and not have a remote connected 3 feet away.

Is this for human hands?
I specifically purchased two of these to play Smash Bros. I was informed that the normal Wii controllers were not very good to use and that I should use either the Game Cube controller or the Wii Classic. I made the wrong choice.
The biggest gripe is how uncomfortable this thing is to hold in your hands. It almost feels alien. Is it that we have had some sort of ergonomic sensibility in controllers going back to the Sega Genesis or am I just a wimp? Playing the game with this controller felt utterly and totally unnatural. Also, I am not fond of the wire coming out towards me...another thing that seemed out of place. To play with this controller, using the two thumb sticks is not natural.
Go with the Game Cube controller. I have never been displeased with any of my Wii stuff but there is a first for everything.

Limited, but extensive use
I actually bought this for use with one game, and I use it a lot. I have loved Mario Cart since it's inception for Super Nintendo. When I got a Wii for a gift, I have played a variety of games adn I'm not a gamer. The interaction is great, but with Mario Carts it''s just plan fun. I now have the Nintendo 64 version which I use this controller and of course Wii Mario Cart. I'll let you know when it become disfunctional, which might be soon considering how much use it gets!
