You're going to need both a Gamecube controller AND a Gamecube memory card if you want to play Animal Crossing on the Wii! No other way around it for either thing.

You're honestly better off grabbing the DS version if you have a DS. Either that or waiting for the Wii version.

I guess I should point out that if you buy Animal Crossing on GameCube (as long as it isn't second hand I suppose), the game will come with a free first party memory card, as Animal Crossing needs the whole card to store stuff on.
So all you'll need to worry about with that is a GameCube controller, which I'm sure you'd find cheap enough at any second hand store or even brand new at stores clearing them out (I'm fairly sure JB Hifi have a third party Gamecube Controller with memory card deal going on, but they call it a "Classic-Style Wii Controller" or something similar  ).

I picked up a near new black controller from cash converters the other day for $12, was almost going to buy another except it was bundled with an actual gamecube and was $40.

Unfortunately, the Wii Classic Controller doesn't support Gamecube Game Playback, otherwise I'd recommend that.
I think Big W were flogging off Gamecube controllers (3rd Party) recently for pretty cheap ( ~ $20)....might be worth having a look.
