First of all, the Wii will apparently support up to eight-player multiplayer right out of the box. Users will be able to use up to four wireless Wii controllers along with another four Gamecube controllers for some hot 8-way action that would make even Ron Jeremy jealous. Of course, the fact that four players would have to use Gamecube controllers would mean that games making use of the eight player set up would have to be stripped of any of the gyroscope or pointer functionality that is exclusive to the Wii-mote. Even with these technological limitations, Nintendo is certainly setting the Wii up to be the ultimate party console.

Pink Godzilla has also learned that all Virtual Console games released on the Wii will have the buttons mapped to the Gamecube controller. What does this mean? Well that cool-looking Wii classic controller is simply superfulous. If you, like most Gamecube oweners, already own four Gamecube controllers, there is really no reason to buy the Wii's classic controller. Instead, you should save your money for something more useful such as the Wii Power Body Glove.
