Those of you who are still a little skeptical about how well the Wiimote will work with some of your favorite franchises can breathe a little easier today. The fine folks at NintenDojo have put the question to Nintendo and the answer is music to our ears. Nintendo has confirmed that your standard GameCube controller (as well as the wireless WaveBird) will indeed work with the Wii using GameCube controller ports located on the top of the Wii. But will it work with the games? That' s not so cut and dry.

Your favorite GameCube controllers will work with all GameCube games being played on the Wii, but only select Wii games will support these classic controllers, with Nintendo' s first-party titles at the top of the compatibility list. This may ease concerns that have been raised by Super Smash Bros. Brawl fans regarding difficulty getting the next-gen incarnation of SSBB to conform to the Wii' s unique controller system. While nothing has been confirmed, SSBB may benefit from GameCube controller compatibility.

There is still no word on whether these classic controllers will be compatible with Virtual Console titles, but we' ll bring the latest as soon as more information is released
