Remeber to transfer your VC/WiiWare games beforehand since you need both consoles and an SD card to do it!

the guy already said it will Use WiiMote and nun-chuck so you tell me how can you play an FPS with that setup if you cant use the pointer? use the D-pad instead of a second stick? yeah, no!

@miz1q2w3e  thanks for the advice.

I dont think there are any games I have on VC that I can live without.

Doubling down.

I'm wondering how many of you in here are like: IR controls >>>>>>> dual analog.

For me, dual analog is the reason why I never cared about the FPS genre on consoles. Just played Black on PS2 because it was a really amazing game, Far Cry on Xbox 1 because it completely blew everything else away back in the time, and a Turok game on Gamecube because it had crazy multiplayer up to 4 people.

While I enjoyed those games, I always felt frustrated by the controls. Dual analog for me becomes a pain in the ass when you want to quickly pin point something at the screen. Such a thing didn't happen on mouse controls and I always thought: FPS's are just lame on consoles. 

When the Wii came out, even playing the Mediocre Red Steel made me love FPS games instantly. Now I can't go back to dual analog ever.

That's why I'm worried about lack of comments from developers about supporting the good old wiimote and nunchuk on upcoming Wii shooters.

As far as things go, I'd like to play ZombiU and Aliens Colonial Marines, but having a fancy touchscreen and fancy mechanics around the new controller doesn't make up for the fact it is still dual analog set up.

So, how many of you Wii FPS hipsters are worried too about this ?

UPDATE1

Blacks Ops II Wii U supports Wiimote IR controls, not yet fully confirmed.

Deffo Wii pointer controls over dual analogue every time, ive got it down to a fine art and ive played all the noteworthy Wii FPS games (and even a few crappy ones) and im a real sharp shooter. However when i got a PS3 and played shooters with dual analogue i was terrible, i was crying out for pointer controls when playing Rage as i had a hard time dealing with those nippy mutants (which i would have despatched with ease with Wiimote/nunchuck controls). I am now much improved with dual analogue, but it still doesnt compare to pointer controls.
