Do the regular wii controllers work with this system?

All controllers and accessories for wii should work just fine. Only those made specifically for wii. Gamecube controllers and WII U PRO controllers are not made for the wii. The wii mini will however work with the wii classic and classic pro controls and balance board and wiimote (the motion control) with nunchuck .

So far no unless you want to play regular Wii games all wiiu games so far are compatible with the wiiu game pad that comes with it.

i can pretty much guarantee that it WILL NOT - they're completely different technically and there's been no update/patch for using WiiU Pro Controller in Wii Mode.

I can't say positively yes, that they work on those two devices, but I know my grandson uses his for both his laptop and WII, if that is of any help.

Yes this will work on the wii. When purchasing characters they will say what they work with on the packagin.

It works wit old classic games I have not try it on wii shop games. But so far is a legit good control....I hope this will help you.

Yes and it works well. You hook it to the regular wiimote instead of a nunchuck. It seemed weird but i just set the wiimote in my lap or on the table beside me.

Not exactly. It won't work with Wiiu games. This is intended for either the Wii or the Wii virtual console that is built within the Wiiu.

Just tried it and it does not work in any mode. I have a couple of virtual consol games including the n64 majoras mask and ocarina of time, and it still asks for classic controller to be plugged into the wii remote port.

Yes, Absolutely! Now I am sure there are some games that you can't, that like require the tablet but each game tells you on the back cover of the box what controllers work with it. But the system itself does allow classic Wii remote use.

No, this device will only specifically work with Wii U Pro Controllers. But the same manufacturer probably has adapters for those, too!

Yes it does. Just load up the virtual Wii menu, and it will show up in the "Launch Disc Software" area.

It depends on the model of your Wii, the newest versions doesn't have the controller slot or the GameCube memory slot.

The system is backwards compatible and the new smash bros game is releasing a pack with a type of compatible gamecube controller but you need to get the game in order to get the controller cause I haven't seen them sold separately

I bought this black unit as a replacement for my original wii as I had heard stories of wii ending production. My original console does play the game cube discs and has ports for the game cube controllers. This new unit does not. I haven't tried the cube discs, but doubt they work without controller ports. Hope this helps.

Works with my wii. Any controller that works with the Gamecube should work with the Wii (same attachments/plugs)

No, for that, you need a Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro. Or better yet, a Gamecube Controller Adapter for Wii Remote.
