Reddit mentions of Wii Classic Controller Pro - Black (Japanese Version)

• 1x Wiimote+ and Nunchuk is 25$. Works with virtually all Wii U and Wii games. Some games require it, ie nintendoland. Get two if you want to play wii multiplayer games.
  
• 1x Wii U Pro Controller, can only be used for Wii U games. Costs about 40~45$.
  
• Wii classic pro, used for wii virtual console (ie N64/snes) games. Plugs into wii remote.
  
  Basically if you got one wii remote (or wii u pro controller) you would be fine for all Wii U games, including multiplayer ones. Additional controllers may be bought if you are interested in MP wii games, or wii vc.

Would it just make sense to use the Classic Controller Pro? I cant justify buying a controller for a single purpose. I hope it is compatible.

Buy a Japanese Pro Classic Controller on Amazon. It's $25 and works perfectly. Controllers aren't region locked.

Typically no. Especially for larger tournies, wireless controllers pose as a logistical issue. You may be able to get away with one at a local with below 50 attendees, but once you go larger than that, you'll have a hard time finding TOs that'll allow them.

IMO, you're better off with a GameCube Controller:

White GC Controller

Black GC Controller

GC Adapter

(Note: There's no difference between the colors, just take your pick)

Course, if for some reason you still want wireless:

Classic Pro Controller

Classic Controller

Wii U Pro Controller

Wii Classic Controller Pro with an adapter is the best by far.

That's probably the smartest thing to do. Here's a link for the cheapest official one I know of. The box is Japanese but the controller is the same.

Always go legit for controllers.

$20.xx on Amazon

> Wiimote. The Wii's controller from last gen, including all add ons such as the nunchuck and WM+

Other add-ons such as Classic Controllers are also available.

Yeah I bought a cheap one that didn't work, so I ordered the official one from Amazon for 27 bucks

Edit: 24 now: https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Japanese-Version/dp/B002C1AUP0/

Target currently has the genuine Nintendo pro controller for $41.99 or you can get a Japanese Import one on [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Controller-Japanese-Version-Black/dp/B009AP23NI/ref=sr_1_5?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1482789261&sr=1-5&keywords=wii+u+pro+controller#customerReviews) for $42.90 (It's just the same as a US one but the instructions are in Japanese).

Alternatively you could get a [Wii classic controller] (https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Japanese-Version/dp/B002C1AUP0/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1482789583&sr=1-3&keywords=wii+classic+controller) and attach it to your wiimote as you do the nunchuk.

Also Know that Owning a Wii U means you have access to those Wii games as well and the Wii U comes with an HDMI Cable so it's much more useful then a Wii since most new TVs don't have a Composite out or even a Component out.

Also Know that to play any of these games on either Wii or Wii U (which ever one you get) you're gonna need a Wiimote + one of these:

The PDP Fight Pad

The Classic Controller

or The Classic Controller Pro

This is the best one I can find. I recently ordered it and it's coming today.

This would work if you already have a Wii Remote. But no, you would only be able to use Nintendo controllers and cheap knock offs... no PC controllers on Wii U

This is what I did as well... significantly cheaper than the US version and they're the exact same (except for the packaging having Japanese text all over it).

The black one is here for $24.90.

The white one is here for $28.

Prices are at the time of me posting this, of course.
