I'm sure you missed them but there's a little flap on the top of the system that opens up to reveal the GC ports and mem card slots. You see, each developer has the option of using the GC controllers if they so wish and many do, including Nintendo themselves, since they often (but not always; there are exceptions to each rule) recognize that the Wiimote isn't for all types of games. Such as fighting games, for instance
Yes, I understand that. However, it's up to the developers to code that in place, and that sort of thing isn't widely advertised. (Yes, I knew about it, but many people who bought a Wii don't.) It would like if you bought a PC game, and it basically required a joystick. Oh, but you don't have a joystick? Well, the controls are going to be shit, then.
Plus, in the world of wireless controllers, corded controllers are so passe.
