There's a Wiimote in my pocket (Wii annoyance #005)


The Classic Controller hid the awkward lap placement shown on the packaging insert

Dangling from the end of the Classic Controller is the Wiimote. What are we supposed to do with this thing?

Some have speculated that Nintendo will release a device (a separate purchase?) that will allow the Wiimote to be clipped to the back of the Classic Controller; however, this still wouldn't eliminate that pesky cable connecting the two controllers. For now, we're forced to rest the Wiimote awkwardly on our laps or stuff it into our pockets -- we suppose duct tape is an option too. Our advice: stick with GameCube's wireless Wavebird for all your Virtual Console needs (it's only about $10 more than the Classic Controller and it's more compatible to boot!).
