Wii controls for non-Wii games

A common complaint against Wii's controllers is that while it adds new possibilities, it's also lacking buttons.  This is true.  However, I think most games could make a direct transition pretty well, even with waggle/pointing mostly being ignored.  Unless otherwise stated, these controls assume a Wiimote+nunchuk combination.

-Super Mario 64, N64 in general

This button arrangement would work pretty well with most N64 games that used the standard middle-right setup.

||Action|N64 control|Wii control

Movement|Control stick|Control stick

Jump|A|A

Punch, etc.|B|B

Crouch, etc.|Z|Z

Camera positioning|C buttons|D-pad

Camera mode shift|R|C

Pause|Start|+||

-Final Fantasy VII, FFs in general

Though different, most FFs controlled similarly enough that this would work well enough for anything through Final Fantasy X.

Much of the menu could be done in a click & drag style.||

-Super Smash Bros. Melee

With talk of Super Smash Bros. Brawl being designed to work with the GameCube controller, people have wondered whether the wiimote+nunchuk will be useless.  I think not.  The GCN controller will probably be more comfortable for a scheme designed for an N64/GCN type controller, but the functions are here.

Due to lack of analog shoulder for Wii, though, GCN R button's functionality wouldn't perfectly map.
