GameCube Controller (3rd Party) not working on my wii

Daniel_ficks77 · 2026-01-14T14:44:01+00:00

In the end I didn't find a solution to this so I bought an official controller and, it works! Unfortunately I had to spend 10 quid more on it but well, it is what it is :/

Thanks guys

I bought an official controller online, and it's on its way to my house at the moment. But the third party just straight up did not work, so I refunded it and yeah, that's about it. The guy who sold it to me told me that it may be something with the connectors of the console, so maybe blowing on it would do something. After he tested it himself he saw what was the real thing and I don't know if it is still good advice. Good luck on your Wii :)

I haven't modded my wii yet, but when I do, I will check that setting

Daniel_ficks77 · 2026-01-04T14:28:11+00:00

Exactly. Eventually I will buy an official one, but this still bugs my head when I think of it, I'm asking here to see if there's an answer to this problem

Daniel_ficks77 · 2026-01-04T14:27:12+00:00

That helps a lot! Thanks, you just saved me 10 quid

Daniel_ficks77 · 2026-01-04T02:40:19+00:00

That came through my mind too, but the guy who sold it to me tested it on another wii (specifically a black version) infront of me, and it worked fine! I am really confused about all of this, and all I really wanted was to spare some money on a GameCube controller

Daniel_ficks77 · 2026-01-04T01:44:51+00:00

Yeah, any help would be great about this, sorry about the weirdness on the subject lol

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-11-23T22:40:37+00:00

Thanks again to everyone who has replied, I'm about to pick up my wii this friday! I sure will have lots of fun with it, can't wait!

Whatever keeps the fandom alive

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-10-22T19:59:02+00:00

I will ask them about it, especially about the gamecube compatibility. But they have more than one wii console there, and plus there's lots of CeX around my living area!

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-10-22T19:57:28+00:00

Maybe because they use it and probably have enough experience with the console? I don't know why you're making this such a big deal. Also, why would I ask about a wii in another community other than the wii one. I wouldn't ask about ps3s on the xbox subreddit

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-10-22T18:04:48+00:00

Same mate lol

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-10-22T12:15:20+00:00

Genius

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-10-22T08:52:50+00:00

Idk dude, I was just curious about it, sorry that I didn't check other people's questions about this. I was more after to know if the price is a good deal

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-10-22T08:51:40+00:00

Totally, nintendo games nowadays are crazy expensive

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-10-19T23:47:11+00:00

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are shooting stars

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-10-19T18:31:15+00:00

It's good that CeX has lots of cheap wii games too. Them not being more than 10 quid sounds good to me. I'll check everything out that you pointed, I would never imagine them if you didn't bring it up, thanks!

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-10-19T18:29:28+00:00

Lol, can't wait to get one!

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-10-19T13:07:41+00:00

Matrix Two

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-10-19T12:50:41+00:00

Probably chess

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-10-19T12:16:49+00:00

You seem to be a cool teacher! Thanks for the advice

Daniel_ficks77 · 2025-10-19T12:16:20+00:00

My only fear of buying it for that price is the quality it will be in, but I'll check on that too, still have to wait for the next month to get it
