No Gamecube controle for Wii version of Twilight princess

Ign confirmed my fears today as they reported that the wii version of TP will only be compatable with the wii controle setup, I was hoping that if you could not adjust to the wii controles you would be able to plug in a GC controler to play the game, but apparently not.

Zelda Controller Compatibility

You can play the GameCube version on the Wii console, but you can't play the Wii build with the GCN controller.

August 16, 2006 - Ever since Nintendo revealed that there would be two versions of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - one for GameCube and another for Wii - gamers have wondered if they could play the Wii build with the GCN controller. After all, Wii does play GCN games, too - but previous reports have suggested that Nintendo's innovative new remote is incompatible with GCN software.

Well, during a Camp Hyrule chat with Nintendo's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications, George Harrison, the executive confirmed once and for all that to play the Wii version of Zelda you will, in fact, need the Wii-mote.

"The GCN controller will be able to play the GCN version on the Wii console, but will not be able to play the Wii version," Harrison told chatters in a live conference.

Not exactly a revelation given that most informed readers already suspected as much, but a confirmation nevertheless, which is why we've picked it up as news.

Incidentally, the only known difference between the two builds - other than new Wii-mote-enhanced controller for the Wii version, of course - is that the Wii incarnation also runs in 16x9 widescreen mode, whereas the GCN one doesn't.
