Official adapter from Nintendo! Sold!

So happy it looks like I can use my 4 GameCube controllers as well! Not just the new one in the photo.

 

[Pacack]

I was just about to post this. Hype!

 

[Clint Jaguar]

God, this is glorious!

 

[mimgrim]

Now what do all the naysayers have to say about this? xD

 

[Deleted member]

Get all of the hype! Let the competitive scene rejoice!

 

[LF2K]

Can't beat the classics.

 

[BBG|Scott-Spain]

And now my suggestions are useless. GOOD STUFF, NINTENDO!

 

[CF711]

I was about to post this too. So hype. Thanks Nintendo

 

[Mayday]

So much hype! Also, that controller looks amazing.

 

[Jaedrik]

AWWWWWWW YEAH!
GET HYPE!

 

[Pacack]

Praying that the controller with that logo isn't just for promo purposes.

 

[R0Y]

Praying that the controller with that logo isn't just for promo purposes.

I'm sure they'll be selling those too. Won't just be available for people who already have GC controllers most likely.

 

[Chimera]

Hopefully that new GameCube controller is sold. Hopefully with digital triggers.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

I'm so glad I didn't get the pro controller yet.

 

[Hayzie]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[R0Y]

Weird that it uses 2 USB ports but, the Wii U isn't exactly lacking in USB ports.

Calling it now: It comes with Smash Bros For Wii U like how the Wheel came with Mario Kart Wii.

 

[Gunla]

Frothing. Simply frothing. This might be what makes me get a Wii U. I've held off because of Control options, but this may solve my problem.

Calling it now: It comes with Smash Bros For Wii U like how the Wheel came with Mario Kart Wii.

If it does, that would be epic.

 

[ShredderN64]

I can't wait, I hope they produce more GameCube controllers. GET HYPE!

 

[Majoraa]

This is probably the best thing Nintendo could have done

 

[Juken]

I don't have a WiiU, but I have an adapter that's basically this, but for PC. If it's as good as the one I have, then I give it two thumbs up.

 

[Ridley22]

Yay! Now I can finally buy more gamecube controllers that aren't off brand or cost $60!

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

I'm throwing money at my screen, but nothing happens.

Nintendo, I love you. The best controller of the world is back!

 

[ChibiIceClimberz]

What a stealthy and megaton announcement. :O

 

[Saito]

LOOKS LIKE THE WII U PRO CONTROLLER ISN'T GETTING BOUGHT TODAY.

 

[Hayzie]

BEST CONTROLLER EVER.

This is like.... collectors item REBORN. I can have MORE and NEW, OFFICIAL NINTENDO-MADE gcn controllers!

Based Big N.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

OMG

ITS NOT OVER 9000 ITS OVER 9,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

NOW I DON't NEED TO BUY A PRO CONTROLLER NOR THE ADAPTOR TO CONNECT TO A WIIMOTE.

 

[Vann Accessible]

Just when you thought Nintendo couldn't be any more awesome.

 

[Deleted member]

Calling it now: It comes with Smash Bros For Wii U like how the Wheel came with Mario Kart Wii.

I hope so, anything that helps my wallet is good in my book.

 

[fogbadge]

im fine with the classic controller i guess i should get one for my friends

 

[Cap'nChreest]

...And then everyone learned to respect each others wishes no matter how unlikely whether its GameCube controllers on Wii U, l-canceling, wavedashing, or even Ridley. Amen.

 

[8-peacock-8]

 

[Luigi#1]

To bad this may cost a few...or a lot.
Hoping not to much.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Good Guy Nintendo. Could make you buy 4 new GC controllers with a Wiimote adapter each. Makes a big adapter instead so you can use your old GC contollers.
Also, here is hoping for a SSBU special bundle with the adapter and that black controller.

I knew there was a reason I kept this thing around.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

If Nintendo makes GCN-controller compatible with other WiiU-games, then I'll be all in for this.

Plus, could this also mean Gamecube VC-being confirmed?

I'm bit... iffy on this still, really. Like, I don't mind we get to use more than one controller but I guess I'm just surprised that GCN-controller's still held so dear that it's brought to another console over ten years than itself.

Glad to know we get to use these controllers tho if we want, I guess...

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

I'll be buying one with that logo.

 

[Fandangox]

Weird that it uses 2 USB ports but, the Wii U isn't exactly lacking in USB ports.

Like HDDs one probably to connect the device to the wi u, and the other is to power it up. Since its 4 controllers it would make sense due to all those inputs.

 

[QuickRat]

Does anyone feel odd when seeing Nintendo is doing it right? I mean... It's like... Is it the end of the world or something?

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

We just broke Nintendo history.

Reverse-reverse compatibility confirmed!
