How to Use a Virtual Controller With GameCube

Nintendo's Virtual Console is a channel for the company's Wii console that allows players to replay older games designed for older systems, such as the Super Nintendo and TurboGrafx. The Virtual Console Controller, also known as the Classic Controller, can be used for all games on the Virtual Console but not for the GameCube games that the Wii is compatible with. To use the Virtual Console controller while playing GameCube games on a Wii or GameCube, an adapter is needed.
