This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Nintendo Wii Classic Controller Pro
The black Nintendo Wii Classic Controller Pro has two grips and a traditional layout with two analogue sticks, a directional pad and A, B, X and Y. The sticks are further apart than on the original Classic Controller. ZL and ZR sit behind L and R, in two rows of shoulder buttons. The cable exits at the top. This layout controls supported games through sticks and buttons rather than Wii Remote-style tilting.
The attached cable connects to the accessory port of a Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus. That remote provides the console connection and power; the Classic Controller needs no batteries of its own. It therefore does not connect wirelessly to Wii by itself. Use it only with games supporting Classic Controller. A title requiring only Remote and Nunchuk does not automatically gain different controls through this controller.
The controller is also associated with the historical Virtual Console library, but Wii Shop no longer offers new purchases. Receiving a controller does not grant access to someone else's previously purchased digital games. The five examples below are Wii disc games supporting these controls. This offer covers only the stated controller unless extras are explicitly listed. A Wii Remote remains necessary for connection; the console, games and that remote are separate products.
History
Wii included a traditional way to play from the beginning. Alongside the motion-sensitive Remote came the Classic Controller for older game styles and supported new titles. Nintendo combined elements of earlier controllers: a directional pad for side-to-side movement, action buttons and two sticks. The Remote's accessory port let this controller connect without requiring its own wireless link and separate power supply.
The design later gained a Pro model with grips and repositioned shoulder buttons. During Monster Hunter Tri's development, Nintendo and Capcom discussed details including stick placement. In official interviews, the creators explain how small adjustments affected the feel during long sessions. Pro also appeared in historical Monster Hunter Tri bundles. That collaboration explains why a hunting game became so closely associated with this controller model.
The Classic line was not limited to reissued older games. Wii titles such as Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Xenoblade Chronicles offered these controls alongside other options. The controller thus became a choice for racing, fighting and lengthy role-playing games on the same system. Support remained the developer's decision. Wii Shop closing to new purchases does not alter the controller support built into compatible Wii disc games.
Five popular Nintendo Wii games
Mario Kart Wii lets you race karts and bikes on new and returning tracks. With a Classic Controller, steer using the stick and use buttons for acceleration, drifting and items rather than tilting a Remote like a wheel. Local matches support up to four players, each with a controller setup. The original official online races have ended; this example concerns the racing game that remains playable locally.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl brings characters including Mario, Link and Pikachu together in arenas full of platforms and items. Increase opponents' damage to knock them further away. The Classic Controller supplies sticks, action buttons and shoulder buttons for movement, attacks and defence. Practise alone or fight locally with up to four players. Each connected Classic Controller also requires its own Wii Remote.
Xenoblade Chronicles is a role-playing game in which Shulk investigates the secrets of the Monado sword. Explore large areas, complete quests and select attacks and abilities for your party during battles. Two sticks let you control movement and camera separately, while buttons access combat choices. This is the original Wii adventure, without the later additions of Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch.
Monster Hunter Tri centres on preparation and learning to read large monsters. Gather materials, choose a weapon and craft equipment for tougher quests. Both Classic Controller and Pro are supported; the stick and shoulder-button layout helps you move, adjust the camera and select attacks. The offline campaign with companion Cha-Cha is the focus here. The original online hunting service has ended.
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars combines Capcom characters with Tatsunoko animation heroes in team battles. Choose two fighters, switch during a match and chain attacks together. The Wii release supports both Classic Controller and Pro, providing traditional directional and attack-button controls. Play against the computer or a local opponent. A second player needs a separate controller and connection.
