We've known for a while that Super Smash Bros. Brawl will allow players to choose four different control types when the game releases Feb. 10, but the standalone Wiimote control was the only one that really needed explaining. Today Nintendo posted exactly how the Wiimote controls will work. It seems simple enough ... with practice.

Hopefully Nintendo will have all the control possibilities available to test when they show off Brawl at E for All this week. At this point, we're still expecting to rock it old school with a Wavebird Gamecube controller, but we'll have to see how the Wiimote/Nunchuk combo works. The standalone Wiimote control looks awkward, if only because the grab button is in the middle of the controller and activating the shield requires pushing out your index finger. We'll have a much better idea later this week.
 
dont like em... i hate pushing up to jump... the layout is lame imo. better be able to use the Cube controller...
 
Yeah, up jumping is way too awkward, Melee or Brawl. Y, please.
 
Yeah, the majority of people will probably play with the Gamecube controller rather than learn an entirely new control scheme.
 
Wow...no freaking way I'm using the Wiimote. Who the hell wants to use a D-pad to move around in a game like Brawl? Thank god they're letting you use the Gamecube controller as well.
 
Meh, I usually use "Up" to jump most of the time. I only use Y to jump if I'm trying to SHFFL or do low aerial moves.

i thought there was no proof of Gamecube compatibility yet... i may be wrong

No, Sakurai confirmed that the GC controller can be used.
 
well my bad they didnt mention it in the hands on IGN video all they said was the classic but thats great to hear
 
I know you can use the old controls. But I didn't mean Brawl would fail, I meant that that control scheme sucks for Super Smash Brothers.
 
well i got 2 gamecube controlers, 2 wii remotes and just 1 nunchuck. in other words if i play 4 players with someone that doesn't have a wii then someone would have to use this controls scheme. but that's just a matter of getting used to it
