With the Nintendo Gamecube Adapter currently going for $80.00 on Amazon, many folks are having a hard time trying to find one at a reasonable price (if at all). There looks to be some hope on the horizon, as Mayflash has released a 4-port Gamecube Controller Adapter for the Wii U that also works on the PC having support for the emulator Dolphin.
Here it is in all its glory...
On the Mayflash Website the listing with the product includes a link to go purchase it on ebay. Oddly enough there were only 37 available in stock at this link and all quickly sold out at their low price. However there is still good news as the adapter is still available! llcj20 on /r/smashbros contacted Mayflash and they pointed him to a website where they are still available for sale! You can purchase them for $19.90 which includes free shipping to the United States from Hong Kong at Ali Express.
A fair warning, purchases from Hong Kong can take a while to ship. The website says "15-26 days (ships out within 5 business days)". On top of this, Chinese New Year is approaching very soon and in Hong Kong most businesses close down at least a week during celebrations which could make shipping times increase if orders aren't made very soon. Most businesses in mainland China and Hong Kong will be closed for business starting February 9th. This years holiday will be observed through February 15th in mainland China, and February 13th in Hong Kong, with business resuming their normal operations on February 18th.
2015 Is The Year Of The Sheep!
Please also remember when shopping that this is a third party accessory and not an official Nintendo product. There is no way to guarantee the quality of the product so make sure to do some research on this before purchasing. Also make sure to study the return policy for Ali Express so that if you order you can be sure to send it back if it doesn't turn out to be as good as expected. Hopefully this can turn out to be a sturdy well working product to put some relief on the Gamecube adapter shortage!
