Does the Nintendo Wii require gamecube controllers to play gamecube games?

I never bought a gamecube, but i have a Wii. I’d like to buy some cheap used gamecube games but don’t know if I also need to purchase GC controllers and memory. Plus, do you have recommendations on what GC games to buy.

yeah you need a gc controller in order to play gc games. the classic controller that came out with the wii does not work with older games.. unless its the ones downloaded from the console itself

   well, there is a special type of controller that is not hard to find. it’s called the wii classic controller. it costs about 25 dollars, and is really cool. of course, you CAN use a gamecube controller

   as for games: i’d reccomend mario party 7 and naruto: clash of ninja 2

   Yes, you can plug up to 4 gamecube controllers into your Wii, and to save games, there are two slots for gamecube memory cards
