Topic: Is there a Wireless Controller Gamepad orig RVL-001 Wii System?

Thanks All! I've resolved this issue. Is there any way I can "Close" this topic? Or should I just delete it?

I have the original RVL-001 system.
I want to get a Gamepad style controller.
All I can find is Gamepad controllers for the Wii-U system.
I need one with a Bluetooth connection.
Does this exist?
If so, where can I find one?

@ChazzLav As far as I'm aware, the Wii only supports Wii remotes via bluetooth.

What this means is that any traditional gamepads connect via the Wiimote, like a nunchuk. This includes Nintendo's own Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro.

I would suggest the Classic Controller pro. E.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Wii/dp/...

Another thing is if you have a Wii and not a Wii Mini or Wii U, you could get a wireless Gamecube controller, which plugs in to the GC controller ports on the Wii. Not all Wii games support them, but some do like Mario Kart, Smash Bros. Brawl, and a lot of other ones that also support the classic controller. This includes all Virtual Console games as well.

I find that I prefer the GC controller myself unless the game needs the d-pad instead of the stick, then I use a Classic Controller Pro. I also have a 3rd party classic controller with a GC style stick and grip, so I can use that kind of style on my Wii U or any games that only support the classic controller (it connects to a Wii Remote).

Some Wii games only support Wii Remote or Wii Remote + Nunchuck though. There's nothing you can do about those games unfortunately.

@Buizel Thanks. I see how it works now. Already ordered a Classic Controller Pro.

@HeavyMetalWario64DS Thanks. I'll look into the Camecube option.
