It does when it was true from the beginning. Using the GC for N64 games stinks. Using the Classic Controller would be even worse. It's really pathetic that Nintendo not only failed to make a good controller, but they don't even care... "Trigger button as shoulder button? Missing buttons or analog-stick-as-buttons? Who cares?" is a really, really bad design policy, and stuff like this really shows why that is.
Playing the game with the GC controller feels substantively different (and worse) from playing it with the N64 controller, and it'd be even worse with the stupid CC controller... (good for SNES? Yes. But awful for N64.) The N64 has one of the best controllers ever designed, and trying to force games designed for its unique controller onto something else doesn't work well at all.
... I mean honestly, how can anyone say "Up on the right analog stick or Z is JUST FINE for one of the item buttons, and up on the right stick works great for the C-up button functions too!" That's so obviously false that the only real grounds for debate is "how much worse is it", not "is it worse"...
