For a person who cant get one they sure are absolute about their information. Joking.

GC controller works on port 1 only but it still does work for VC. NES originals can be used via the Wii-mote. Genesis can be used with Classic or GC on port 1. Same with other systems. My stuggestion remains the same. Pickup an exta controller and nunchuck. Then get games that should get you started fine. I will add absolutely do not buy the cheesy little slip overs that make the Wii mote look like a golf club, tennis racket, etc. They do little in helping accuartely replicate the feel of the real thing.
