Possible to play Wii games without Wiimote?

I don't have a Wiimote so are there any Wii games I can play without one? If not, how expensive would it be to get one and the necessary equipment to set it up on my PC? Sorry, I couldn't find this in an FAQ anywhere.

You can play any Wii game with a gamepad (or with keyboard + mouse). Click on "Wiimote". Choose "Emulated Wiimote. And map your device.
But you'd better get a real Wiimote. Some games aren't easy to use with a gamepad. Even worse with a keyboard

Okay, so maybe the better question is: What games can reasonably be played with a gamepad?

I'm afraid that's a worse question.

Most games can be played with a gamepad.
Some games are made to be played with Classic Controller extension so these ones will suit well with a gamepad.
Other games are made for Wiimote so you'll have to be patient sometimes Tongue

.
One exception: games that need "Motion Plus" can't be played with classical builds. You'll have to use Emulated Motion Plus builds ( http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-emulated-motion-plus-unofficial?highlight=emulated+motion+plus ). This is experimental and no more supported on the forum though
