From what I've heard, that seems to be the case, unfortunately. That means that now I can never get one.What's the deal with the availability of GameCube adapters for Wii U? Are they no longer in production?
I really really hope that this is the case.Think of it as the release of the Wii. Nintendo simply didn't produce enough consoles to keep up with the demand, therefore, there was a shortage. Same goes for the GC adapter. I don't think they've stopped production, just they're in back order right now.
I got a Rosalina on the way, but through a long chain. I live in the US, ordered through Canadian Amazon, and it's coming from a Japanese Store. And even then it cost more than I would've liked, but considering she's my favorite character in the last decade, I consider it worth it.Nintendo not understanding how supply and demand works. Amiibo side of the fanbase feels your pain too.
I'm amazed I got one honestly. I preordered one just a few days before they became out of stock.
This is the most probable cause. Nintendo seems to mass ship a huge amount of a popular product to stores then not resupply them when it runs out.Think of it as the release of the Wii.

They're constantly getting more, but because of the limited quantity, not many retailers even ship to their stores anymore. I was lucky enough to find the adapter in-store roughly just a month ago tops, but generally, going to a store and making a special order from the warehouse is the way to go.I was fortunate enough to order one at the beginning of January on Gamestop's website. I say I was fortunate because it was taken down the very next day I ordered it. Crazy, right? I heard that they're supposed to have more next month though, so don't fret!
What you're asking for is huge for a product that's in so much demand. "Flawlessly" is a whole lot to ask for aftermarket peripherals, especially at low prices. People say the MayFlash works pretty good, but I'm still wary about just how little lag there is compared to the official adapter, and how long it's likely to last compared to the official one.Does anyone know what's the cheapest GameCube adapter out there that works flawlessly with the Wii U and great with Dolphin? I'd order a Mayflash one, but the current sellers want way too much. I mostly want one because not having one is a huge problem with multiplayer gaming.
Why don't you try to get a few friends to pitch in together for an adapter?I've heard the Mayflash ones have no additional lag compared to the standard one. It's just in the meantime, trying to do multiplayer with my system is so annoying because I lack an adapter. Like if I want to do matches on campus with my Wii U, I'm insanely limited in how many people can do said matches and no-one would have the option to use the GameCube controller. So ****ing irritating.
