Default Wii Classic Controller or GameCube Controller?

I need a normal controller for my Wii. Don't get me wrong, I love the Wiimote, but it get's a little old when playing MLB Power Pros and some other games for an extended amount of time. So, which is better? The Classic or a GameCube controller? The Classic has a slight edge for me because of it's wireless capabilities.

Lightbulb 3rd Option?


It's a ways away in terms of availability and still unconfirmed for US; but if you can dig up or borrow a GC controller to tide you over till it's available it might be worth considering.

Standard dual shoulder buttons w/dual analogue sticks is very appealing after taking regular breaks from wii games for wrist/arm fatigue caused by uber-redundant Wiimote gestures. Been playing Fire Emblem 10 on Wii recently mostly because I can hold the Wiimote sideway and use it like a NES pad.

Nice, can't wait for that. I ended up just taking a GC controller from my cousin.
