E Three Two Thousand Fourteen

Not necessarily...?
I'm pretty sure the classic controller and the gamecube controller work more or less the same way as far as the wii is concerned, so it must just consider the non-analogue L and R buttons to be fully on or fully off.
Considering that gamecube controllers still work as normal on the wii, the analogue function still has to be in there somewhere, though probably just unused on the newer controllers.
