Hardware Wii U GameCube Adapter Only Compatible With Smash Bros

[Tom Bombadildo]

A while back, Nintendo announced that they would be releasing a GameCube controller adapter for the Wii U, getting praise from everyone and their mother that they're finally bringing their best controller to the next gen. What everybody didn't know, however, is that the GameCube adapter is compatible ONLY with Smash Bros Wii U; every other game is incompatible. That's right folks, the totally best controller from Nintendo will only be used with a single game.

From Nintendo:

In a statement issued to IGN, Nintendo said: "The GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U is compatible with Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U specifically – it is not compatible with any other Wii U software. The adapter is also not compatible with Wii and we apologise for any confusion.
