What controllers are needed? Do I need the classic controller or will the regular one and nunchuk work fine?

The regular controllers work with the regular nunchuk... the nunchuks like in the game are optional.

To answer your question, you do not need the classic controller at all. All you need is the regular Wii controller and nunchuck to play this game. If you want, you can purchase the paint brush nunchuck to make it feel like you are painting, but it is not necessary.

You can literally use any controller: the old Wii controllers work as well as the standard one that comes with the Wii U.I prefer the Wii U wireless controllers they made for the system

You will need two of them .Also if you opt for the twin controller they will work together.

Sorry for the late answer, I'm sure you've decided by now whether it's what you need, but for future reference (since some of these comments are really vague), the d pad and buttons feel and play really well with retro games. Obviously, you can't plug it into a retro console, but I've had solid experiences with this controller when playing on emulators.

The classic controller should work with all downloaded 64 games. However, if you have a Wii that has Gamecube controller ports, you are much better off getting a Gamecube controller to use.

The only updated item is that you get the newer Wii Remote Plus controllers. These controllers are so much more comfortable to hold when playing games. You get only one Wii Remote Plus & one Nunchuck.

You can use regular Wii controllers or the Wiiu pad that comes with the Wiiu

You don't have to, but you can hook up 2 each of the original controllers of all three systems. I recommend doing that if you can afford to buy them separately. I myself bought one of each. Be careful though, cause some of the after markets aren't the best. It's better to buy the originals but pricier...The wireless controllers that come with the system aren't bad, but the control configuration is weird. On some systems a is b and b is a. It will throw you off till you get used to it. Also you have to be directly in front of the system for them to work and pick up the sensor. Hope that helps Katie.

To be honest I don't know I don't play that long. I bought the nyko pro controller and I could always use that if the game pad ran out. It's a great controller and 20 bucks

I am sorry but we do not carry controllers for these items, and we cannot recommend which brand would work. You may need to find something universal.

Yes You will need to buy an extra remote. I had an old WII and the remotes worked with this one.

It supports every controller but the balance board. Gamepad, Wiimote (wheel) wiimote (no wheel) wiimote+ nunchuck, pro controller, classic controller, classic controller pro all work.

I, unfortunately, don't know as the company didn't send me the USB version, they sent me just a regular controller for the regular N64 console. I would look into a different seller, personally.

It works only with Wii U games, if you want to use one classic control, you will need the previous classic control.

Nope. You'll need a Gamecube controller along with a GameCube memory card to play GameCube games. You mostly use the classic controller for Virtual Console games
