So, is this game compatible with the Classic Controller PRO? This is one of the better Wii games in my opinion, not to mention one of the top JRPGs that is a Wii exclusive! I saw the game for $20 new sealed and didn't buy it because it is a Wii title. I forgot to check its controller compatibility. Most games I bought on Boxing Week were under $7.50, new sealed and used.
It is, yes. But it's best to use the Wii Remote + Nunchuk combo since your main weapon will be the chain-whip. It will become obvious to you when you'll get your hands on it.
Aiming the chain is done with a cursor, so while you can use the stick on the classic controller pro, it's much faster and more accurate to use the wiimote/nunchuk combo instead. Trust me, I skipped Wii cause "Dat Waggle" and I switched to mote/chuk about 5 minutes into the game, lol.
