Hardware Wii U Gamecube adapters sold out :(

[gudenau]

They are in fact making more!

 

[shinkodachi]

Good to hear. Now they just need to enable support in other Wii U games and update vWii to make use of it!

Yep.

People just have to be patient about it and don't give in for the resellers because they'll charge the highest price possible.

Right now I am bidding on scalpbay. this time I might get it. I'm on one which is fair.
The previous one I found was already on autobid mode. Waited on he last 30 seconds and overbid the a**hole who wanted it before me. Enjoy you adapter to 136USD hehehe

I received a similar reassurance from Nintendo, and I trust them that they are in fact making more. I hope this does much to stop the rumors the "Nintendo isn't making more". Chance are, they're be more in January.

It's actually better to bid yourself from what my dad has told me (he's an expert on bidding and bought a LOT from there over the years). But that's just my advice, of course, that dirty wanker outbid you anyways

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Aside from the fact they're producing more hopefully they've also considered to make the GameCube adapter compatible with Wii and Wii U games, because besides the GameCube controller, there really isn't another one that has analogue triggers (although there's the Wii Classic Controller so that's something).

I tried to play Sniper Elite V2 with the Wii U Pro Controller and it didn't work as the cover indicated GamePad-only and this game most likely never had any updates whatsoever unlike New Super Mario Bros. U which does support the Pro Controller.

He actually paid 136USD because I used the very known technique from Dave Ester
Ovebidding because he wanted it so hard



On a side note, the second adapter I was bidding got overpriced in the last 2 minutes, so I fucked it up again and overbidded, 3 guys were on it at the same time, all outbidding in 10 seconds. The winner earned an adapter for 86USD

On my side, I still cannot find a fucking adapter in a reasonable price

that's kind of a dick move just because you can't get one cheap enough you shouldn't ruin someone elses chances.

under $60 shipped about $30 lower than the cheapest ones on amazon still not a great deal but at least it's better, and they have the cheapest controllers around too.
you could get the adapter a white and a black controller for only $102 which is a whole hell of a lot better than ebay.

Sorry, I went mad at those ebay scalpers. I'm an asshole when something annoys me.

Thanks! I will take a look on that. I won't take the black and white controller, I bought a smash gamecube controller yesterday.

that pushes the price up though helping the scalpers and only screwing over other buyers who are victims like you, don't bid keep the prices down find elsewhere to buy best way to combat scalpers.

the shipping times on that site are legit too, i dont know if japan has christmas or not but if you use fedex you'll probably have it by friday ems probably next monday or tuesday. since fedex uses their own customs its basically impossible for it to get delayed.

how did you know what his max bid was it usually doesn't tell you?

 

[shinkodachi]

Yeah, was thinking the same. What if you stay as the highest bidder, you commit to buy as per eBay's bidding agreements so that $136 USD could've easily fallen on VinsCool to pay, right? someone correct me if I'm wrong. Not that experienced on eBay.

 

[Bladexdsl]

that's usually how it works when your trying to troll bid someone. there's a risk you'll end up getting stuck with the item at an outrageous price

when your trying to outbid someone it doesn't show you the persons max bid instead just says bid an amount higher than this. than when you do if it's not their max bid it auto bids for them and tells you right away you've been outbid. that's how it works here i dunno if it's different in canada ebay.

if there's a trick to finding their max bid i want to know it NAO.

I just ordered an adapter from Nippon Yasan. The adapter itself was $45 and I paid $12.50 for shipping. I'm not really happy about shelling out almost $60 for an adapter, but I figured it could be months before I am able to buy an adapter from somewhere else due to the crazy demand. If anyone wants to grab one they should still have a few available. Here's the link
https://www.nippon-yasan.com/nintendo-wii-u-conosle-japan/10083-wii-u-gamecube-adapter.html

Also I got this beauty in the mail from them today. I was a little hesitant because of how cheap it was, but it came in perfect condition and was shipped 2 days after I ordered it. I would highly recommend them if anyone is thinking of picking one of these up.

I wouldn't say the wait for the adapters will be too long. Most stores along with Nintendo's information suggest that adapters will be readily available after Christmas in January and possibly early February.

I figured it was worth the extra cost considering how bad the wii situation got. Also whenever some pop up online they sell out within an hour.
