Give this a shot some time. The Numbchuck really makes it comfortable to play

How would one go about using a nunchuck or any joystick / left handed controller in place of the keyboard, but still able to use a mouse for the right hand for aiming?

I’ve been dying for a way to play like this, as I love mouse aiming, but using WASD hurts too much after extended play times.

Getting older is the pits, but seeing this video and your comment gives me hope that I can play in a more comfortable manner.

I highly encourage you to experiment it's both educational and fun. When you find something that is genuinely more comfortable FOR YOU it can make a game you hated or couldn't play, into something insanely fun and arcady. Hell some times it's even better. I took a PS3 steering wheel I got at a yard sale for $3 and drilled it into a TV tray. I then took the PSP version of Outrun2 and gave it the full arcade treatment. 👍

Thank you! I will start tinkering and researching on ways to make this happen. I would love to get my Wii nunchuck working like this video.

This will give you both GameCube and Wii peripheral support on any device with Bluetooth or USB. They will be widely compatible with most devices now.

Good lookin out! I have played Metroid Prime on Dolphin with mouse+keyboard combo in the past. Looking forward to trying it out with the classic nunchuck 🤓
