Yeah, despite already making the switch to Wiimote + Nunchuk, I bought this adapter for when my more stubborn friends inevitably flock to my house since I'm the only one with a Wii U. I haven't had any problems with it over the last few months of use, it feels the same to me as if the controller were plugged in to the system. The Wii detects it as a Classic Controller, but for most games the controls are configured pretty much the same for both.Um Is there a third party adapter for wii u to let gcn?
Then you can retire.Um Is there a third party adapter for wii u to let gcn? Then again third party sucks and the controls will be made for the wii u wannabe Snes controller. Yes smash needs this or it will suffer a huge problem.
Also we will never adapt because we don't have too.
The only "huge" problem I see is that people that can't let go of old things will complain.Yes smash needs this or it will suffer a huge problem.

Was pretty much gonna say all this, but you beat me to it. I always used the GCN Controller for Brawl, but when I upgraded to Wii U after my Wii quit working, I had no choice but to adapt. I've gotten used to using the classic controller for Brawl personally.Some people just can't adapt to change. While I do understand that wireless controllers have a negative side when you're doing competitions, the fact that the Wii U has no GCN compatibility pretty much means that wired controllers are all in the past.
In a case like this, you need to learn to adapt to different controllers.
I agree that controllers should eventually change (and i love the wii u pro controller don't get me wrong) I'm just worried for how wireless controllers will affect large tournaments and such, where there's potential for a lot of interference. It probably won't be that hard for a 3rd party to make gcn style controllers anyway, but if they're only wireless, then the problem still stays.Some people just can't adapt to change.

The thing is that fan campaigns do demonstrate some level of demand. Nintendo makes their final decision regardless of the campaign but they do look to see if there is a large enough demand to make it profitable. If anything this campaign can generate demand among consumers, even if it is only a little, and that should have a small effect on nintendo's decisions.http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/12/05/nintendo-isnt-affected-by-fan-campaigns-or-petitions
Can we PLEASE ban the use of change.org on SmashBoards?
Yes a better controller than GameCube would be nice but every wii controller I tried other than GameCube controller for smash was obsolete. So if you want me to stop complaining then tell Nintendo to make a better controller than the GameCube controller and that silly Snes wannabe controller.I love my gc controller and all but....come on yall. I love the smash community, but it seems like most of us are always asking for more of the same and can't move on to possibly better things.
"more like melee"
"more like melee"
"gc controller"
"gc controller"
It's a new game so why not ask for it to be better than melee? Why not ask for a better controller (Nintendo really does need to make a wired controller for wii u)? I respect the community for keeping melee alive, but dont let melee hold you back from having nicer things.
Gamecube Virtual Console. Which is a much more valid reason for Nintendo to re-release a legacy controller than a small but vocal group of Melee purists.The Wii U already has FIVE controllers to choose from (not even Sony or Microsoft consoles have that many). Plus I've haven't heard a SINGLE reason to bring back the controller other than to play Super Smash Bros. (go ahead, give me another reason. Any at all).
Two flaws:Gamecube Virtual Console. Which is much more valid reason for Nintendo to re-release a legacy controller than a small but vocal group of Melee purists.
Are you serious? some people just want some consistency, which was granted in the gcn remote. Every other console has kept the same basic control design, adding a few buttons here and there, and the gcn remote is the closest thing that nintendo has.The Wii U already has FIVE controllers to choose from (not even Sony or Microsoft consoles have that many). Plus I've haven't heard a SINGLE reason to bring back the controller other than to play Super Smash Bros. (go ahead, give me another reason. Any at all).
Don't worry, I also see very little appeal in a Gamecube controller but you asked for a single argument, and I gave you one.Two flaws:
- By that argument, then I should demand Nintendo to also bring back NES controllers, SNES controllers, and N64 controllers (heck, even a Game Boy Advance since Nintendo confirmed we're getting GBA VC for Wii U).
- GameCube Virtual Console doesn't exist and absolutely no proof of any in the works. There's no point of selling accessories for a nonexistent service.
Have you tried out the Wii U Pro controller? It's basically like every other new controller now (albeit a slight shift in stick placements).Are you serious? some people just want some consistency, which was granted in the gcn remote. Every other console has kept the same basic control design, adding a few buttons here and there, and the gcn remote is the closest thing that nintendo has.
How is it okay that other console owners can stick to similar controllers with small optimizations here and there and nintendo fans need to "adapt" every new console generation?
Just because you disagree doesn't mean people shouldn't have a choice.
I have tried the controller and i love it. i'll probably use it for the next smash bros even if there is a gcn remote alternative because it feels so nice, but i know there's a bunch of people who prefer the gcn controller and i can also see why they would think that. I believe there should be a choice, considering that those people have been playing smash for 10+ years with the same controller.Have you tried out the Wii U Pro controller? It's basically like every other new controller now (albeit a slight shift in stick placements).
I really love the feel of it. In fact, it feels a lot better than any other controller I've used.
If a third party made a GameCube controller for wii u I would never buy it, every third party controller I brought was a waste of money.(they broke in 10 days) I would have to adapt to the new controllers sigh as long as I can perform all my imputs as fast as I did with my GameCube controller then I am fine.Instead of petitioning for GameCube controllers, you should be petitioning for wired controller support which should be possible with a proper driver update.
At least then, some 3rd party maker can make that precious GameCube controller while everyone else can choose a controller of their choice. BAM! Everyone wins.
Well I dont actually want you to do anything. I'm stating my views on things like this: Ask for something better not for more of the same. Also since I dont have issues with nintendo controller layouts/quality (I just adapt to one of the many options available) it's the responsibility of those who are complaining to make reasonable request to nintendo; asking nintendo to mass market something only a tiny portion of their customers want is not reasonable. And to be honest the only people I've really heard complain so much about controllers changing are the smash community and a few people who hate motions controls/have poor hand eye coordination.Yes a better controller than GameCube would be nice but every wii controller I tried other than GameCube controller for smash was obsolete. So if you want me to stop complaining then tell Nintendo to make a better controller than the GameCube controller and that silly Snes wannabe controller.
When melee came out people used GameCube controller and never complained about it not having the n64 design. So Nintendo has to make a better controller instead of rehashing a Snes and GameCube controller mix up that we seen since the wii came out and one better than the gc controller.
controller explaination (my pov):Are you serious? some people just want some consistency, which was granted in the gcn remote. Every other console has kept the same basic control design, adding a few buttons here and there, and the gcn remote is the closest thing that nintendo has.

I don't know what controllers you're buying, but I've had my 360 arcade stick for three and a half years now and it's still working fine.If a third party made a GameCube controller for wii u I would never buy it, every third party controller I brought was a waste of money.(they broke in 10 days) I would have to adapt to the new controllers sigh as long as I can perform all my imputs as fast as I did with my GameCube controller then I am fine.
Aside from a resistance to change, there is the legitimate concern for wireless lag and interference at tournaments.Can't you set up the Wii Classic Pro Controller similar to the Gamecube? I don't own a Wii Classic Controller, so don't rant about it.
Oh yeah that is gonna be a pain... After every set you are gonna have to change your batteries to desync.... Better keep Duracell battery's! (Shameless advertisement )I don't know what controllers you're buying, but I've had my 360 arcade stick for three and a half years now and it's still working fine.

Speaking of adapters has anyone tried this? What was your results????Another pointless thread. People are going to choose the controller they like best, and the GC Controller crowd will either buy an adapter or choose the Wii U Pro, or the Classic Pro.
EDIT: The only reasonable request is for Nintendo to create drivers that support wired controllers.
