The Nintendo classic controller is a wii remote accessory which is attatched into the slot in which you place the nunchuk. However, unlike the nunchuk, it is used on it's own and not in conjunction with the wii remote.
The design is similair to that of the playstation controller. It has two analog sticks, a set of directional buttons, four buttons at the front an four buttons at the back.
The Nintendo classic controller is used for nearly all the games on the virtual console, because the controllers on the previous Nintendo consoles have followed a similair design. The Nintendo classic controller can also be used for regular Nintendo wii games, particularly games made by Nintendo, such as Mario Kart and Smash bros, because the previous games in the series used a controller that follows a similair design.
The only downside about this controller, that I can think of, is that having the wii remote on your lap while playing with it is rather annoying.
In conclusion if you want to download a lot of virtual console games you have to buy this contoller.

I guess it saves having to charge it up or replace batteries. Tbh I much prefer wired, handheld oldies like this - though the wandy stick is still pretty fun to use, especially when youre with a bunch of friends!
