There is something I dont understand with the controls. If I want to play Wii games that need motionsensor I need to use the wiimote. Then there is classic controller and gamecube controller. Can I use the classic controller to play gamecube games? Or use gc controll for classic games? My friend said that I cant use the classic controller for gc games. 


the classic controller can only be used on virtual console games.
the gamecube controller can't be used on virtual console, but can be used on wii and gamecube games.

 

edit: sorry, but there seems to be some different info on wikipedia:

The Classic Controller cannot be used to play games for the Nintendo GameCube. According to the Nintendo Online Shop, the Classic Controller can only be used with Virtual Console games (although some Wii games, such as Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 can be played with the classic controller). The GameCube controller can be used instead of the Classic Controller for playing most Virtual Console games. When in the Wii's channel menu, the left analog stick takes control of the cursor when the remote is not pointed at the screen. The classic controller can navigate through the Message Board, Settings menus, Shop Channel, and News Channel; but becomes inactive on the Mii, Photo, Forecast, Internet, and Everybody Votes Channels.
