If controllers are made for peanuts, an add on for for a controller must cost even less. Good that you finaly agreed. Don't forget that MP was also required to play SS.

Wii games bundled with wiimotes were very multiplayer intensive. Bundling a GC controller for a single player GC game, just so buyers of another console can play it, that's a waste.

 

Sorry but drop the rubbish, WMP was more modern tech then anything in a GC controller, the add on cost more then a GC controller to make. This is made more apparent that Nintendo didn't put the tech in the Wiimote at launch because it wasn't financially viable and too pricey.

The fact that those games had Wiimotes bundled proves the whole point, Wiimote required, bundled, point proven. 

It wasn't pricey by itself but would make the wiimote more costly at launch, making it a risk. If it retailed for $20 at a profit, you can bet it costed less than even an old GC controller.
