Yep. I've only used it on SNES/N64 style VC games.

I wish I had only ever bought one instead of two. Never needed two.... barely needed one.

It would likely take a bit too much soft emulation to get it to work with Wii games, if Wii U is soft-emulating (because then you'd have to pick and choose which titles it works with, since there are no console Wii games that absolutely require the Classic Controller)

Either that, or this is further proof of Wii U hard-emulating.

Wondering if that is with Rumble working.

Ha ha ha! I see what you did there.

If the Gamepad can't do it, the same fate befalls on the pro controller, thank you Wii-mode.

It's a repeat of last generation's GC-mode, where the CC couldn't act as a GC controller. Initially, when I bought my Wii, I thought the CC would be compatible with GC software. When I found out that was not the case, I didn't feel like buying an old controller just to play Wind Waker. Guess I'll play it on the Gamepad with WiiU's own Virtual Console.

And you know what else is a "last" gen feature? Analog sticks, triggers, d-pads etc. See where I'm going with this?

While I will probably have four of the Pro controller, I am not expecting anyone to actually use them in my household. I actually hate the way they look.

He was making fun of Sony's Phil Harrison who claimed rumble was a "last generation feature" when it was learned the SIXAXIS would not have the feature.

"Now, rumble I think was the last generation feature; it's not the next-generation feature."

Of course they replaced the SIXAXIS with the "Dual Shock 3" which, as the namesake suggests, does inded include such last generation features as rumble.

Guess I'll hold onto my classic controller pro if I want to play a Wii game again (on my Wii)

That's a great battery run time!

But what's up with not being able to use it as a Wii game controller? >_> (Sorry if this was answered already.)
