Fully customizable controls available on Wii U’s VC

Virtual Console games are now a thing on Wii U. The first title of the trial program, Balloon Fight, can be purchased today for 30 cents.

You may be interested to hear that these titles offer a significant amount of control options. Tap the touch screen (or press ZL+ZR), and you’ll come across the VC menu, which contains the control options, restore point, and game reset. Players can experience VC games (well, Balloon Fight at least) with the GamePad, Wiimote, Wii U Pro Controller, or Wii Classic Controller – and each lets you set the function of every button. Joystiq notes that the GamePad, Wiimote, and Classic Controller all served as the player 1 controls, and the Pro Controller defaulted to player 2.
