Can a single controller be good enough to play Wii games ?

[Subzero75]

So know some games need the wiimote and the nun-chuck to play right ? and some games originally just used the pro controller.

These the games I want to play:

Castle of Shikigami III

Castlevania - The Adventure ReBirth (WiiWare)
Contra ReBirth (WiiWare)
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Goldeneye 007
Gradius ReBirth (WiiWare)
Ironclad (VC)
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Klonoa
La-Mulana (WiiWare)
Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword
Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess
MadWorld
Mario Kart Wii
Metroid Prime 3 - Corruption
Monster Hunter Tri
Muramasa - The Demon Blade
Nights - Journey of Dreams
Punch-Out!!
Sin and Punishment - Star Successor
Sonic and the Secret Rings
Sonic Colors
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Paper Mario
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom - Ultimate All-Stars
The Last Story
Wario Land - Shake It!
Xenoblade Chronicles

So if I use my wired 360 pad or my PS2/USB adapter will I be able to play 99% of the games in a workable/playable way ? Basically I'm asking is either of my PC USB 360/PS2 controllers will do the job without the need/purchase of anything else ?

Thanks

Anything that uses motion plus won't work, such as Skyward Sword. Otherwise most games should be fine unless they use some weird motions.

Can't I bind the shake motion to a single button, so in effect if I need to shake I can just hit the button ? If that doesn't work then how are people getting around not being able to shake then ?

You can, but I can't see how that would be considered a "weird" motion.

You don't make any sense you say "Anything that uses motion plus won't work" then in your next post you say "you can" ? so which is it ?

All I'm asking is are games that require a motion can still be fully played with a regular controller for example either a 360/DS2 with some tinkering in the controller settings of dolphin ?

Their second post just said that shake motions work, not that games that use MotionPlus work. Keep in mind that there are many more possible kinds of motion than just shaking.

The simplest answer to that is: Many games are fully playable, but not all.

You're not going to get playable controls in 99% of all Wii games. I don't know what the situation is like for the specific games you listed.

I see I always thought it was only the shake command that the wiimote could do. So if I use a DS2 I could map shake to one button, but the more complex motions won't work. I could be wrong but the only game in my list "ExtremeDude2" noted was Skyward Sword. So that game is just not possible without a wiimote then ?

[ExtremeDude2]

That game requires an extra add-on that is not emulated so you must use a real wiimote, I don't know if any other games on your list use it as well.

If I bought one of those USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter for PC, Wireless Dongle

then could I use the wiimote with Dolphin ? or is it still a pain in butt to get it all working together ?

[ExtremeDude2]

Probably
