Monster Hunter G is for Classic Controllers only

Just how lazy is Capcom's port of Monster Hunter G? Pretty dang lazy, according to the official website, which just opened. While the new Monster Hunter 3 tri- offers multiple control schemes that allow use of Wiimote/Nunchuk motion controls or a traditional-style Classic Controller layout (as well as multiple variations on "three" in the title), the newly-announced Wii version of the PS2/PSP Monster Hunter G only works with Classic Controllers. At least it also has four-player online play. Chances are, most people won't miss the waggle. Or they could get Monster Hunter 3 and not really miss out on anything.Speaking of Monster Hunter 3, do check out that game's website for new monster renders.

im sure most people would have used the classic anyways. but does it work with game cube controllers?

This is surprising how? Not sure if you covered this part of it but when Kotaku reported on it they said it would have a choice between the PS2 and PSP control styles.

Very stupid move. Lots of people don't actually have Classic Controllers/Gamecube controllers. But if they bundle one in, I'll be a happy Sposchy.

Would've bought this for cheap to see what this whole Monster Hunting Thingamawut was before tri- came out, but yep; unless it's packaged with a classic controller, my interest is gone. If it is, I can't imagine buying it as anything more than WiiPlay (buy a controller, and get a game for $10-15 more)

Hrm, I think at this point I'm the only person who intends to buy a classic controller expressly for this when it gets close. Assuming it doesn't support cube controllers, that is.
