How is the Wii Classic Controller compared to the GC Controller?
Would that be a suitable replacement?

One problem is that some games are only compatible with one or the other or vice versa. Like Samurai Showdown Anthology only works with the Classic Controller and Metal Slug Anthology which only works with the Game Cube controller.

That's wierd that SNK wouldn't be consistent with the avaialble controls in their compilations.
I assume that Metal Slug Anthology can be played with a horizontally held Wii-mote?

This isn't bad or a problem at all, if anything people should be happy this is happening.
If people just want Wii games then buy a Wii slim, and if people want GameCube and Wii games, then buy a Wii.
Also if the Wii slim gets released then the Wii will likely drop in prices.
I don't see how this "pisses" off people.

It seems like a pointless update to me. I'm glad I already have my Wii. I guess this will make up for profits lost from the 3DS price drop.

It seems pointless at first but I kinda see what Nintendo is doing.... Release the Wii Slim at a low price point to get those that do not own a Wii currently and then let them purchase a few games... then the Wii U comes out and those that just recently bought the slim will be thinking hmmm "I should by a Wii U as it is currently compatible with my Wii games that I purchased".
It seems like Nintendo is the master at grabbing new users with backwards compabality and then dropping it in future updates. DS anyone?
