Hardware Where could I buy the gamecube adapter for Wii U?

[VinsCool]

All in title. Looking for one to use with Smash and nintendont. I just can't find a place selling at reasonable price or not sold out. Could anyone give some advices regarding this?

I don't think there's any place yet selling these at a good price. There's just not enough stock and this has taken to make prices higher on listings. Your best bet would be to wait for Japan's release of Smash Bros. and hope there'll be enough surplus adapters from there so you can import it at a reasonable price. So that's a week from now.

There won't be adapters to sell separately in store? That will suck.

I'm not sure about other regions, but European retailers list a "2015" release for the adapter alone.

They have been selling them separately in EBGames/GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart, etc. But since those were limited in-stock, it was basically first-come-first-serve. I mean, some sellers even said that Nintendo is not planning on making more of them (don't take my word for it though). If you didn't purchase one in the first few days of Smash Wii U release, you might be out of luck. Of course, there's always Amazon or eBay, but the prices that most resellers have are ridiculous (over $100) and so they're obviously trying to take advantage of the limited GC Adapter to make some extra cash.

Just wait for Nintendo to make more. With how much they have advertised them there is no way they are going to just stop producing them. They would miss out on a ton of money if they do

This. Since there was no official indication that the bundle with the adapter was a limited edition or the adapters themselves will be available in limited quantities, I'm sure Nintendo will make more. It would make only sense from a business POV as well. We'll just have to wait it out.

 

[VinsCool]

Then I will patiently wait for more adapters
