Welcome to the Everything Nintendo Room!

Everyone is welcome to talk about anything Nintendo. From games to consoles, and even third-party remakes. Feel free to discuss anything about this company that has existed for over 130 years!

Please use as little expletives as possible! This room is supposed to be clean, so limit your swearing and any expletive descriptions (i.e. don't tell why you like Sexy Poker. Get it?).

You can also discuss Nintendo-related problems here, as well. Just post a link to a Nintendo question from the Arqade Q&A by itself, and the rest of the community will try to help. Only post a problem if there isn't one already being diagnosed; pay attention to the chat to make sure someone isn't having a problem analyzed already.

Okay, enough rules. Talk away!

One end of the Ultra Hand has scissor-like handles and is operated like scissors, extending when the handles are pinched together and retracting when they are parted. On the other end of the Ultra Hand are two bowl-shaped grips with which ball-like objects can be gripped when the Ultra Hand is fully extended. Three colored balls were included in the Ultra...

I have a problem I'd like to discuss.

Q: What are the button mappings for the GameCube controller when playing VC games on a Wii?

I have been playing Virtual Console games on my Wii, and I noticed that some games use different controls than the GameCube controller, which I use primarily for SNES and N64 games. However, I can't find the SELECT button... So, are all the buttons from these old controllers mapped, or are some ...
