Gamecube Controller Prototype for the Wii U Confirmed

[Doom1]

Lol hopefully I'll be able to get one before they all sell out

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

Just when you thought you would need to adapt to a Pro Controller. Looks like we can all keep our controller preferences!

Doubt they would mess up the button placement and configuration though.

 

[TheLegendOfVenusaur]

Cool but I'll probably use a wii u pro controller...

 

[Osennecho]

..... K... So guess I will actually be buying a WiiU in the future... To much now to not... +_+... Was still debating sticking with just a 3DS... But Nintendo... Catering to their fans?... I have to support >_>

 

[Placebo Effect]

How else would you connect it, unless they made it wireless

I heard somewhere that you can plug USB controllers into the Wii U's USB ports if they were made for the Wii U. That could be wrong though.

Nice im actually curious about how this will turn out.

 

[LinKing]

YES!!!

 

[Tepig2000]

So I guess that's the controller that will be used in the Smash Bros. tournament at E3.

 

[Blizzard Sonic]

y do u people not understand its still wireless

 

[Rymi]

I prefer the Wii U's Pro Controller, but at least, people can stop complaining

and it's planned to be cheaper so thats good

 

[DrizzyDrew]

Great news but why is it not wireless. Depends on how it looks otherwise it might be Time to learn smash with the Wii U pro controller

 

[Sqa$]

I'm really happy that they are bringing back the design of the GC controller. It honestly is one of my favorite designs for a controller in any system. Of course my opinion is biased with my use of it for smash.

 

[WindMajor]

Still wireless.... try again Nintendo.

 

[PokéMaster235]

I'm glad to hear this news, but I'm with the others about it not being wireless. Otherwise I'll be using the Pro controller.

 

[KnitePhox]

1.this is wireless; 2. GameCube ABXY button shapes are the worst; 3.raphnet and mayflash adapters already exist, wiimote to gc controller port. Hope it turns out better than everyone wants, lots of doubt though

I've not used a Pro Controller yet but...last I checked those are wireless too.

 

[Justkallmekai]

Thank god.

 

[ecylisis]

WE LOVE YOU NINTENDO!!!!

...But why you no make it wireless?
(Lol. Totes first one to post)

Wireless sucks for tourneys

 

[PadWarrior]

Watch all you guys end up loving the new controller xD

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Dang it, I gave up playing Gamecube only to find out THIS happens.

Nintendo, please warn me beforehand.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Why are people trippin on it being wireless?

Is it because of the possibility of signal interference? Has anyone experienced an issue like this?

 

[Sonsa]

Oh thank goodness!

 

[Magnum Dragon]

HNNNNNNGAAAWWWYEAHHH

 

[Silic0n]

I heard somewhere that you can plug USB controllers into the Wii U's USB ports if they were made for the Wii U. That could be wrong though.

You aren't wrong, I've been able to use a usb keyboard through the usb ports on the Wii U.

[Wasp]

funny how Nintendo suddenly supports the whole smashbros thing more and more since the game is one of the very few chances to keep the Wii U alive together with Mario Kart... Somehow, i think it's agood thing the wii u hasn't sold that well since the launch... it's makes the big N do a lot more effort for the games we're waiting for...

 

[L∈O]

Excellent news!
Thank God!

 

[BladeOFLucas]

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!
HALLELUJAH!!!!!

 

[ItalianSheathe]

Thank you Nintendo!! See? They listen to fans.

It is a very real issue. I haven't had much of a problem with it, but there likely isn't anything interfering with my connection. Anyway, for the sake of an example, in Project M Ike's Quick Draw is central to his gameplay style. However, I've heard that a Classic Pro user (can't remember who) had a problem with their Ike shooting off without them letting go of the special button. The response was that the wireless made the game not register that the button was still being held. Bummer.

When I first saw this piece of news, I immediately started jumping for joy. Ever since I got my Wii U back in September, I had to use my Wiimote and nunchuk in order to play Project M or Brawl. I'm glad that Nintendo is partnering up with PDP to make a GameCube-based controller for the Wii U variant of Smash 4! :D

 

[awesomejake94]

okay, let's see how this plays out nintendo, all aboard the hype train!!!

 

[Cool Blue]

Hell Yeah!!!

 

[bigbro2233]

Hail the GameCube.

 

[Delzethin]

I was planning on giving the Pro Controller a shot, but hey, always nice to have a backup plan.

 

[Doublecork]

I'll just use a turbo adapter but this is still good
