How to Set Up the Wii Controller to Play Two-Player Classic Games

Having the correct setup for your classic Wii controller can make the difference between playing the classic video game on your Nintendo Wii and not playing it. The classic controller was not only created to play classic games, but it is used to play Nintendo Wii games and GameCube games, according to the Nintendo website. Classic Wii controllers can provide a satisfying alternative to the sometimes-frustrating controls presented by the Wii Remote.
