This controller is a very nice quality peripheral, but playing most Wii games (outside of the old console downloads) you really aren't going to be able to use this at all. That in turn makes it useless, there needs to be some games that don't require motion, EA could even do a fresh port of BLACK and allow us to use this controller.
This controller is a way to attract core gamers, if they gave us the option of playing FPS, and other mature games with it. Yes Wii is a family (room) system, so there is bound to be a hardcore gamer in the house probably pulling their hair out because they want a game that doesn't require them to sweat it up all the time to game hard.
The upcoming Wii FPS "The Grinder" should give us the option of using a Wii Classic Controller.
It would also be a perfect remote for fighting games too (CAPCOM, give us Street Fighter 4, if you can do Resident Evil 4 on the GameCube, you can give us Street Fighter 4 for the Wii, forget the WiiMote on that note). I don't even care if you make a special Street Fighter 4 for the Wii that looks like Street Fighter 3, it would sell.
SNK, give us King of Fighters 12, AGAIN forget the Wii-Mote, that game is do-able for the Wii, but companies look over the Wii with their new awesome games knowing that it could work with the Wii CLassic Controller. Thats bogus!!!
So this controller is in a similar boat as "Wii Speak", has the potential, but right now there isn't a lot going for it.

I highly recommend this controller for your VC games except your N64 games. I would use a Gamecube controller for your 64 VC games. But, this controller is excellent for your other games say for instance NES,SNES,Genesis,etc. Works great for games like Brawl and Mario Kart Wii.
The controller has kind of a good and bad design at the same time. The design works well if you are playing your games using the D-Pad. If you have bigger hands like me it feels kind of odd at first using the analog sticks and you will have to position your hands accordingly. Also what I did was I purchased the NYKO grip which really helped in my situation.
The controller is of good construction. With this being a 1st party controller its easy to note it has durable plastic and does not have the cheap feel to it that a lot of 3rd party controllers do. The D-Pad is completely perfect which Nintendo has been known for a lot of years.
This works pretty well. I bought two of them so I can play multi-player Virtual Console games, because they're required for a lot of downloadable games on the Wii.
It doesn't do well at Pacman though. Not many controllers do, so that's my ultimate test of a controller. It's good for Mario and other stuff, though.
"Classic Controller"

I love this controller. A LOT. It's perfect for playing Super Mario World and any other SNES games. The Classic Controller is basically an SNES remote with a few added buttons(Wii home button,joysticks etc).
I was dissapointed in the fact that playing Super Mario World was unplayable with a Gamecube controller.So I bought this remote. and it turned out to be a great purchase. If you have a Gamecube controller and are planning to play any games other than SNES then you don't need the Classic Contrller. But if you're looking to download some SNES games. You need this. NEED.
"A great controller for playing most Wii Virtual Console games."
I want to start off by saying this classic controller is essential for playing downloadable Super NES games. The Nintendo Game Cube's wireless Wavebird controller is more fun and useful for the downloadable Nintendo 64 games because it's bigger and is also good fun to play all of your favorite N64 games wireless.However the Game Cube controllers border on unplayable for Super NES games like F Zero and Super Mario World.Way too awkaward to have any fun or make progress. The Wii Classic controller however is perfect for 16 bit games like that. It's a little bigger than a standard Super NES controller and is also more comfortable in your hands. NES,Sega Genesis and Turbo Grafx 16 also work very well with this controller.So in conclusion a Wii Classic contoller is essential for playing 8 bit and 16 bit games but if you want to play Nintendo 64 and Game Cube games so is the Wavebird or standard Game Cube controller.

I have played FIFA, PES/WE for so many years. It is way better to use the wii remote and nunchuck. More like a habit thing to me.
