I don't have one either, and I really want one. If one of you guys has an extra, feel free to send it my way. :)

It's in my soul; it's what I need.

The cake is a lie!

I kind of agree. I think having a percentage of points obtained over points possible with currently owned games would be a nice addition.

$250 for the Wii with one remote, one nunchuk, and Wii Sports. Not a bad deal, but I think they should throw in some free NES games on the virtual console.

boo... urns
I thought it was kinda clever.

Maybe the Miis are the targets.

If you have a modded GameCube/Wii then it makes emulators a lot easier to play. Trying to get back on topic here, I've played Super Metroid with it, and it worked flawlessly (especially since both Super Metroid and my SNES emulator let you map your own controls). I don't know if the Wii lets you set your own controls, but the defaults should be very usable. My only gripe is using Z for Select because Y is already in use, but that's pretty minor.

Personally, I am a huge fan of this controller:

The top one, I mean.

You'll have to check eBay, though. Lik-sang ran out (then went out of business; damn you Sony), and Play-Asia is out as well.

It's officially licensed by Nintendo, but made by Hori. It was designed for the Game Boy Player (the Select button is just a second Y button), but it works great with plenty of D-Pad-capable GameCube games and should work fine with the Wii, though I've never tried. (Annoyingly, the white button labels come off easily, but the thing still owns.)

Having briefly used a Classic Controller, I would say that they are about even, and it really depends on the game for which is better.
