The fact is the Wii-mote is the standard controller for their console, anything else is just a leisure, so as they see fit.

Most people, from what I've heard, have the opinion that holding a gamecube controller is more comfortable than holding a wii mote sideways or a wii mote + nun chuck. Therefore having gamecube controller support would benefit someone.

Also I find it very hard to believe that adding in support for a gamecube controller is a difficult thing to do.

I might as well put my two cents in. I got the game on Sunday when it came out, and I've bee playing it quite a bit since I was off from work this whole week. My only gripe so far is having to shake the controller to do a roll. It's kind of annoying to have to roll that way when you're doing it to pick up an item over the middle of a pitfall.

I'm only up to the Ruins area so far, and I seem to be doing quite well in finding some of the things.

It's a decent game, but it doesn't exactly take me back to the old days of DKC. I guess in order for that to happen for me, I'd have to actually play those games, and I have done so a few months back. So far, DKC2 still reigns supreme in my opinion.

Maybe they'll patch in different controller support?

See what I did there?

If you care so much, here you go

USE A CLASSIC CONTROLLER IN DONKEY KONG COUNTRY RETURNS

I'm pretty sure that this will only work with the USA version of the game but I haven't tested it.

If you want to try, I have two separate configs so far. One that puts [waggle on R, 1 on Y and 2 on B], the other switches waggle to A instead.

Requires: Hacked Wii, the latest version of Gecko OS (I used 1.9.3), the PC version of Ocarina Code Manager (I got it here: http://wiird.l0nk.org/ocarina.zip )

Extract the Code Manager zip anywhere on your computer, go into the pc subfolder and run codemgr.exe

When it opens, enter the Game ID as SF8E01
Click Add a Code/Comment/Category. The name is arbitrary but I used Classic Controller
Click on the Classic Controller cheat that just appeared.
Game Name is arbitrary but you can use Donkey Kong Country Returns

You paste one of the two codes into the Code Contents section depending on which configuration you want to use. The first code will put waggle on R, 1 on Y and 2 on B. The second code switches waggle to A instead of R:

Click Store Modifications
Check the box next to Classic Controller
Click Export to GCT (say Yes to the popup that asks if you want to store modifications), choose the appropriate drive letter for your memory card, click Store.

Load up Gecko OS and make sure that the Use SD Cheats option is turned on in the configuration menu. If it is, the code should be detected at launch.

If you get an error message about the controller being unrecognized or something, you're going to have to edit a few of those hex codes. I think it has something to do with the version of the game you're running. Version 1 or 2 (I apparently have version 1). Please see this thread for more information: http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.ph...,7134.120.html

edit: But just to have everything in this post, I'm pretty sure I know how this Version 1, Version 2 thing goes. If you have version 2 (I don't know how to check for this before testing a code), you'll have to change the first line in the code as well as the last two.

Again, the codes I posted are for version 1. If they don't work for you,
change the first line from C24A3FC0 00000020 to C24A5F70 00000020

Change the second to last line from 04387CF0 38A00000 to 04389B90 38A00000

Change the last line from 0438526C 28000009 to 0438710C 28000009

Yeah...not going to do that.

It just blows my mind that they don't offer a non motion alternative in a (difficult) game where timing is important. Felt the same way about Galaxy, the motion controls just get in the way - they don't increase immersion, fun, or anything. I always feel like I'm playing a game that would be a little bit better if they removed the motion controls.

[Typhoid]

So basically what I've gathered from reading this thread is that people are upset it wasn't released for the Gamecube, instead of the Wii.

[Vampyr]

I must have missed the memo where if you're a Wii game you absolutely have to have motion controls with no alternatives.

It's as annoying to me as if they released an FPS that didn't let you invert the camera.
