From being somewhat of a joke to the dominating system. Wow, looking back on this post from a year ago the wii has really come a long way. From being somewhat of a joke to the dominating system.

So I can use either the wiimote (held horizontally, using the D-pad) or the GameCube controller. Games with more buttons can't be played on the wiimote (and they say so), so it's either the CC or the GC controller. For NES, Mega Drive and PC Engine games, I prefer the wiimote's excellent D-pad. SNES and N64 games need the GC controller, so there's no choice right now, until I get a CC. The GC controller is perfect for N64 games, but the choice of buttons for some SNES games isn't perfect; DK Country, for instance, uses the (big) A button for something you don't do very often, and the (much less accessible) Y button for something you do all the time. BTW: I'm a bit regretful of buying the NES Donkey Kong. Sure, it's cheap, but, still... the NES version lacks one stage, and the cut scenes, from the arcade version, which is also faster and more responsive. It was one of the NES's first games, and it shows. I suggest you stick to MAME for this one. :) Well, the best thing would be a classic controller (CC), but I don’t have one yet.

I'm a big fan of Donkey Kong and i would love to play it on Wii. And when you get Zelda and COD3 you won't need anything else :) Ps: is it easy to play the old games with the given controllers?
