List of Wii games with traditional control schemes
This is a list of released video games for the Wii video game consoles which allow use of Classic Controller/Classic Controller Pro and/or GameCube controller. This list does not include games released on Nintendo's Virtual Console as the Classic Controller and GameCube controller can also be used for all Virtual Console games, with the exception of some TurboGrafx-16 games. Many of the games on this list are ports, remakes or sequels of prior generation games or games that were concurrently released on other consoles with traditional control schemes such as PlayStation 2, 3, and 4 and the Xbox 360 and One. Some Wii games on this list support traditional controls because they do not utilize the system's signature motion controls at all.
While all Wii models and the Wii U support the Classic Controller, only the original model released in 2006 supports the GameCube controller because it contains four built-in GameCube controller ports as part of its backwards compatibility with GameCube games and accessories, a feature that was dropped from future models such the Wii Family Edition and the Wii Mini. The Wii U generally does not support the GameCube controller, with only one game, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, allowing it to be used as a valid control setup via a special external USB peripheral that provides four ports for the said controller. No other Wii U software, including previously released Wii and Virtual Console titles playable on that system that support such controller, are allowed to utilize that peripheral.
