The Nintendo Wiimote is darn fun, but it can only go so far. Sure, you can swing it around in Wii Sports or Zelda Twilight Princess, and you can even turn it sideways for old-school NES games on the Virtual Console. Beyond that, however, it's sorely lacking. You can't use the controller to play GameCube games or most Virtual Console titles. Fortunately, Nintendo thought ahead and made the Wiimote accept additional accesory controllers and put four conventional GameCube controller ports on the Nintendo Wii itself.
