Will the new Classic Controller work for Skyward Sword?

It sounds like they learned their lesson when it comes to the controllers. Not everyone is into the whole motion thing, so they made a new controller which buttons for those who do not like motion controls. The thing I'm not sure of is if it will only work for WII U games or will it work with WII games as well.

I so want to play Skyward Sword with button smashing only. Tired of swinging my arm around every time there's a fight.

No, it won't. Absolutely not.

People have already tried experimenting with Dolphin to map button controls to motion plus, but it breaks the game and you cannot play it without much difficulty (seriously, it's a LOT easier with the motion plus, I've tried it). You'll have to deal with the motion controls, because there's no way Nintendo will allow Pro Controller support for a game that showcases their motion plus feature. The only Wii games that will be supported are those that supported the Classic Controller in the first place.

And you need to stop flailing your arm around if you actually get tired.

Not that kind of tired. Tired like I'm sick of doing it!
You can't base it off of an emulator.

They added in another joystick which could easily move a sensor around. So I still see this as a possibility.

Play another game, then. Asking for button controls in this game is basically asking for a different one.

Yes I can, it's the only way to actually map the controls and test it with a controller. I used an Xbox 360 controller, which has the same amount of buttons as a Wii U Pro controller, and I tried several different button mappings. They're all a pain in the ass, having to hold down one button, then move the analog stick, it's just not as intuitive and simple as pretending to hold a sword in your hand with the Wiimote.

Again, I used a 360 controller, same amount of buttons and sticks as the Pro controller. It would be too difficult to play the game, unless they redesign the combat, puzzles etc. which is too much effort. I doubt Nintendo could implement it well into the existing game, and I doubt they want to.

I know this is kind of off topic from the op, but i wish the motion control in skyward sword (or in general) wasnt just swatting at air. I mean i wish when you swung the sword you could feel resistance. As if your sword met somthing and actually penetrated and sliced through it. Like I imagine the tech as feeling like magnetic force resisting your swing within the remote or somthing. I dont know if that tech exists or ever will, My point is though thats the kind of tech a game like skyward sword needed to work really really well. I too got sick of over swinging the remote, like being way too violent with it, and because you meet no resistance you follow through on swings and hurt your shoulder or smash stuff not saying I did now.

the tech does exist but It would require huge motors and not only would the wii-mote be massive but it would cost more then the system

Simply not possible at this time. The tech required to do that could be dangerous and will never'be implemented. A controller that can restrict your movements? Imagine a glitch that causes your arm to fly into your own face, it's just not reasonable

I know that tech will probably never be implemented [QUOTE]I dont know if that tech exists or ever will, My point is though thats the kind of tech a game like skyward sword needed to work really really well [Quote] It was more wishful thinking on my part of what a legend of zelda game that forces you to swing your arms around should be like. Doesnt have to be magnets or dangerous gravity defying super computers
Its just when I hit that huge bokgoblins shield I would have loved if my wii remote stopped dead in front of me, and if I sliced through him, then I would follow through with my swing. Its extremely dissatisfying to constantly be flapping away at an enemy and getting no physical feedback. Its more straining on the arm too cause your own muscles must stop your arm after you swing and then retract it back.
In a way windwaker allowed me to emerse myself more into the game with the lock on sword swings because they were button inputs, my finger physically touched and clicked a button and I got a satisfying response, but in skyward sword you swing through air, no physical feedback, and so a dissatisfying response. Donkey Kong rolling when you press a button=fun/Donkey Kong rolling cause you shake the wii mote=not fun.
After all that babbling incoherently my point is skyward swords motion controls bug people because of the lack of physical stimuli (as well as the buggy nature of wii motion plus) an option to play traditionally should be implemented in future games in my opinion, as the current motion set up is far from perfect. Allow people to choose their own poison rather than forcing them to use a control set up that some people find distracting and annoying.

PS: I Love skyward sword and actually liked the percision of wii motion plus and thought it controlled well enough, I just understand when people say they didnt like the controls.

Given that there's no built in support for controllers in Skyward Sword, that Nintendo generally sucks with DLC, and the entire game is built around the Motion Controls, I'd say the chances of this are around 0%.
