Can the Lost Viking mini-game in Wings of Liberty be played with a controller?

The only campaign achievements I haven't earned from Wings of Liberty are the ones earned by playing the Lost Viking mini-game. For whatever reason my NES trained hands could not play a top down shooter with the keyboard (more truthfully I was plain terrible at this particularly game).

This partial completion is for whatever reason bothering me so I want to give the mini-game another go. On this attempt rather than fight with my keyboard I'd like to use my Xbox controller. Can the Lost Viking be played with a controller?

Yes, but you will need controller software that allowed you to remap keyboard keys to the buttons on the controller.

You would need some software like Switchblade or Pinnacle Game Profiler.
