Wii games that dont need a Wiimote - Nexxus - 01-02-2016
I got dolphin running solid and was looking to get some wii games for it, but I dont currently have a wiimote setup so im just using an xbox controller currently, was wodnering what games I can use with just the xbox controller without any issues/missing abilities.
Currently have SSMB but that's it.
Not looking for a complete list of course but bigger name stuff

These Wii games should be simple to set up for an Xbox controller:

Some other games also work, but their controls can be more complicated to set up.

Disappointing but unsurprisingly small list, oh well guess I will wait til I get my wiimote situation set up. Thank you though

There are many games which uses sideways Wiimote to play, those shouldn't be hard to map into a Xbox/DualShock controller...

If you can use a DS3 (PS3 controller) you can play most Wii games as the DS3 has motion support, but it won't work good for a couple of games that make a different use of the Wiimote (As WarioWare) or needs WiiMotionPlus.
I've used a DS3 for like 6 years and I had a lot of configurations for each WiiMote position
Like, one for a Wheel, one for SideWays and keeping a button pressed to use the IR, one for WM + Nunchuck, etc. 5 months ago I finally decided to buy a WiiMote
If you can get a WiiMote and a DolphinBar or Wii Sensor Bar (If you are skilled enough you can modify a standard one to attach a USB connector to it) it would be the best. It's just better that way and you can play all the games (that don't need WM+ or specific attachments like the guitar) without needing to load config profiles before playing a game

You all must be alot more talented then me because i couldn't for the lie of me get the stupid motioninjoy to work so i could use my ps3 controller it crapped out and i have a logitech hooked up to it that doesnt even have motion in it so i'd love to see some of the setups you had because i know a few kids that are dying to play mario party 8 &9 as well as some others but i cant figure out how to configure the controller right
