how will the controls be for N64 Virtual console games?
It doesnt look like the classic controller will be a very good controller to use for N64 games...
But i just thought of an idea... since the Wii has usb ports, does that mean people can just use a N64 to PC adapter so they can just use an old N64 controller to play virtual console N64 games?
has anyone ever thought of trying this idea?
it just might be crazy enough to work! lol :)

Well good luck finding an antique thing like a usb to n64 adapter. Even then it's a slim shot. I'd just try it with the Gamecube controller.

those are easy to find. just google.
but, like i said, it probably won't work.
maybe down the road, if nintendo updates..
The PS3 can recognize PS2 controller with usb adapter.

I thought the PS3 uses the same controller as the PS2...and the PS1...oh wait..

Its probably not ideal, but the CC has 8 buttons on it. The N64 controller had 9, but you could only reach 8 at once. If the game actually used the C buttons for items they can opt for some configuration between the buttons.
So if the game used the C group to move the camera they could just map that to the second analog stick.
Might be odd at first, but I bet you could get used to it.

People have used both the CC and GCN controllers and say both work great. Granted, this has only been tested on SMB64 (obviously), so who knows how future games will hold up.

Since this is a vague topic title I think this'll fit here...
Has anyone tried moving a VC game to a PC to look at the format? I doubt you could but think there's a way to put a save file from a ROM into the game? I've got a pretty good Zelda file on my computer I'd love to move to the Wii's VC.
