Can you use the gamecube controllers for the Virtual Console games?

As far as i know, no... you can only use Gamecube controllers for Gamecube games. You can use the Wiimote and the Classic controller for the Virtual Console games.

Not sure how accurate they are but I'm sure that it will be close enough.

The dpad on the GC controller is ****e, they'll only be useful for GC and N64 games imo (this is coming from someone who has played emulated snes games with the GC controller...)
Reckon I'll just end up buying a second classic controller for 2 player snes games when I run out of VC points

To clear this all up, from CVGs VC secrets article:

Can you specify which controllers it will be possible to use for each of the VC games types (NES, SNES, PC Engine, N64)?

Nintendo: All virtual console games can be played using the Classic Controller or Nintendo GameCube pads. The Wii Remote can also be turned on its side and used as a traditional controller to play NES games. However, a game will only be playable with the control mechanism it was designed for. So, for example, you will play NES games with the D-pad, not an analogue stick or motion-sensitive functionality.

When using a mixture of Wii and GameCube controllers, the Wii Remote or Classic Controller will take priority. So if you have two Classic Controllers plugged in they instantly become player one and two regardless of how many GameCube pads are inserted.
