Maybe, but it doesn't sound like something they would actually do.I just thought of something: can't Nintendo release an update or patch for Smash 4 that will render all 3rd party USB adapters, like MayFlash, useless? Is that a possibility?

I'm kinda worried.. I'll email them and let you guys know what they say.Maybe, but it doesn't sound like something they would actually do.

I've had a few 3rd party PS3 controllers become unusable on my PS3 after updating it, though. Don't those identify themselves as official Sony PS3 controllers themselves?Unlikely. What the Mayflash adapter does is mimic the official adapter. It behaves like the official adapter and works like the official adapter. It's likely that software has no way of telling whether it's Mayflash or Nintendo, since the Mayflash internally reports itself as being a Nintendo adapter. I wouldn't be concerned about this at all.
Hopefully true. Besides that, Nintendo typically does not bother with intentionally blocking third-party accessories other than cheat devices and flash kits. There are tons of unlicensed controllers that don't mimic Nintendo's with 100% accuracy and could be blocked right now. And yet they aren't.Unlikely.

Actually you can be 100% sure it will have a different VID and PID so it's quite easy to detect it if they wanted to.
Awesome. Where will we know about your giveaway?Stay tuned for a giveaway. Have a unit up for grabs shortly.

Put it another way: any adapter, even made by Nintendo, can and will eventually fail (Murphy's law). Your loss is smaller if your Mayflash adapter quits working. They're much more likely to be available new in a few years time and cost little. Having a Nintendo adapter go bad will be frustrating on many levels because there's no guarantee Nintendo will still be making them new in a few years time and prices only go up for Nintendo products as they age.
That's exactly my point. Nintendo's adapter is worth more than its retail price because of the scarcity and uncertainty in availability.You're ignoring that if you bought a Nintendo adapter and it went bad (and given they way Nintendo builds stuff, I wouldn't take failure as inevitable, at least not in your lifetime) anyway, if it went bad, and somehow you couldn't replace it with another Nintendo adapter, so what? Then you replace it with a Mayflash, same as you would if you bought a Mayflash and it went bad. There's no reason you'd have to replace like for like-
