The GameCube controller could definitely mean a lot to Wii U's life from here on further 'cause there's really nothing that screams awesomeness about it right now.

Sure I enjoy the exclusives it has but with GameCube's support Wii U could become far better!

Mario Sunshine, Melee and Double Dash on Wii U, Nintendo!

If your console needs 10 year old games to survive, it's already dead.

True.

Nintendo did fuck up with the Wii U and to bring back GameCube to save it from dying, well, it's a good move because NGC to me is way better than the Wii U.

Oh by the way, people ask me if the GamePad works without the Wii U but then to their disappointment I inform them that it's the controller of the console.

Right. Watch me go and buy a new TV because yours is better. I own a separate upscaler, but I don't use it for the Wii, since I'm happy with my Wii U setup. GameCube support would only mean I that could put away the Wii and use Wii U for most of my Nintendo gaming.

Hey everyone, make room for Richie Rich and his collection of all games ever.

I got then at decent prices.
TIP, try shopping online. jUS BOUGHT mk8 FOR 25 EURO'S.
Opposed to Nintendo's eshop price of 59,99 ( digital download also!)
Only games I spent full price on were DonkeyKongCTF and Lego city.

Point was that if you tink the Wiiu has a better picture than your Wii for games, you should check your connection.
Normally there should.nt be a difference un less you tv's scaler is bad or if you connect your Wii via the included AV cables, wich is NOT recommended.

If you do not have any of the above, The wiiu 's vWii upscaling is a nice thing to have indeed.

Important question about this: If Wii games that support the Gamecube controllers will accept this in Wii mode (such as Smash Bros for the Wii) would that allow DIOS MIOS to work? I thought one of the main problems initially was the way the game would load, but you couldn't get it to go any further because of the lack of a controller.

Unfortunately, Wii games compatible with GC controllers only expect them to be at the non existent GC ports, so without patching the games (through homebrew), they won't work.

As for homebrew, they could be updated to support this device, as soon as it's reverse engineered.
DIOS MIOS, no since that runs in the Gamecube BC, which the Wii U doesn't have, as well as not having enough room.
Something like Devolution or Nintendon't however, yeah those could work.

Same goes for the PC, someone will have to make drivers for it. Preferably just standard drivers like any other (install them, then just plug it in and play), and not some bloated webby .net adware piece of crap that needs to be running at all times like the PS3 pad drivers.

I'm sure Nintendo could very easily integrate them into vWii with a simple firmware update.

Not necessarily. If Nintendo programs the device to conform to HID standards, then the HID drivers already on computers would be able to work with it and just plug n' play.

You bought MK8 for 25€? Where?

TBF there's only about ten Wii U gaems do owning them all really isn't that expensive.

Aside from the Nintendo exclusives, the multiplatforms go for really cheap nowadays.

And even then, £32 is a cheap price for games such as Wonderful 101. I'm surprised W101 still costs £32 on Zavvi, which is the price it first came out with.

I got Bayonetta 2 on pre-order for £32 and to me that's a pretty damn good deal, shame I got'sa wait for the game to yet be released.

I don't think buying an adaptor and a controller just for a game is worth it. Nintendo and other companies should make some of their future games compatible with the controller.

Argonitious · Jun 3, 2014

I hope Nintendo makes this adapter work with a lot more games than Super Smash Brothers. This could be big!

Its just a controller people.

Will this work with Mario Kart 8 and the wireless GC Wavebird controllers?

If Nintendo doesn't produce Gamecube controllers again themselves you can expect prices to go up on Ebay and such...so get you're controllers now.

They're still making them in japan, I imported one from amazon.

Nobody knows yet but chances are support for this will have to be added on an individual game basis, and considering MK8 already is out it probably won't unless they patch in support.

Did you know the Gamecube controller is actually shit but people associate it with Melee so much that they deluded themselves into thinking it's good?

Like it's comfortable but that's about it. Second analog stick is shit, D-Pad is shit, only one bumper, oddly placed and oddly sized buttons. Like the Xbox 360 controller blows it out of the fucking water and even that has a shitty D-Pad, just not nearly as shitty as the Gamecube one.

Try to name another game that was "made awesome" by the Gamecube controller that ISN'T Melee. I'm sure if people took enough time to use the Classic Controller on Brawl everyone would go "IT'S THE BEST CONTROLLER EVER" because they used it on Brawl so fucking much.

That opinion is merely subjective, not objective, just because you think it's shit doesn't mean everyone else thinks the same way. Just a heads up. Want another game it was awesome for? Sure, it's called Mario Kart Double Dash
