Wii U Pro Controller - Xenoblade Chronicles

Hey everyone. I have a couple questions regarding the topic

1) Can I use the Wii U Pro Controller to play Wii games? Specifically Xenoblade Chronicles?

2) Is the controller worth it? I've been doing research, and it seems like it is, but I"m always up for more feedback.

Thanks for your time!

No

No, you can't use the Wii U Pro controller to play Wii games. Wii games available on the eShop will allow you to use the Gamepad if the game originally supported the classic controller. Why they only chose to support the Gamepad and not the Pro controller too, who knows.

The controller is absolutely worth it. I have two. One for use with the Wii U and another for my PC. The battery life is crazy good and it feels great in your hands.

I hope Nintendo updates the Wii U to allow the use of Pro controllers in Wii compatible games, because it works great with Xenoblade(played it with the Dolphin emulator).
