Oculus Remote required? *SOLVED*

I am planning on buying the rift bundle, however, since the remote isn't listed in the bundle, I wonder wether I need to buy one or not. Is the remote required for the Oculus to work, or can I just use a controller?

For the most part, the Remote is not needed. Many of the games originally designed for the Remote (or the Xbox gamepad) have been updated to use Touch (not with motion controlled, though, just as gamepad emulation). There may still be a couple games that haven't been updated yet, but there is more than enough content that's made for Touch it shouldn't be a problem.
