Hardware Nintendo GameCube Adapter Vs. Mayflash GameCube Adapter

[WiiCube_2013]

Is there anyone here who owns both and can tell which one is most definite the better one of the two?

From what I remember it goes something like this:

Nintendo GameCube Adapter:

+ Fully wired
+ Quality built
+ Works flawlessly
+ Up to four controllers
+ Compatible with Smash Wii U
+ USB connection

- Only playable with Smash Wii U (except you cannot play the Masterpieces with it)

Mayflash GameCube Adapter:

+ Works with all Wii and Wii U games
+ Custom configuration for each button
+ Recognised as Wii's Classic Controller

- Only one controller per adapter (but hey, if it's just for yourself it doesn't matter)
- Connects to the Wiimote's butt
- It's wireless

It's hard for me to say which one's better because I never had a Mayflash NGC Adapter even though I wanted to but didn't purchase one due to Nintendo's Official GameCube Adapter. I have mixed feelings about it and despite not owning a Mayflash adapter I think it's better than the official NGC adapter.

Your pros and cons are flawed! I have both, so let me try...

Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter

+ Four controller ports
+ Supports WaveBird controllers
+ Wired connection via USB

- Works only with Smash Bros. for Wii U
- Doesn't work with Wii
- Cannot be used to navigate system menus

Mayflash GameCube Controller Adapter

+ Works with any game that supports Classic Controller even on Wii
+ Has turbo function for all buttons
+ Can trigger HOME/+/- with multiple taps of the START button

- Only one controller port
- Doesn't support WaveBird controllers
- Input lag from wireless connection through Wiimote

There's input lag for the MayFlash adapter? That's a bummer.. I was just about to order one. Guess I can wait a month for Nintendo to make more official adapters.

I have both mayflash and gamecube adapter and mayflash worked well for me, but wiiu games hardly accepts wii classic controllers for gameplay. I liked playing Mario kart 8 with it but I wish other games could have been compatible.

Yes, about 1-3 frames of input lag. It's noticeable only if you play seriously / competitively / want to get good at the game / try mastering the Perfect Pivot technique / kick some serious butt online. For fun, at home, offline, it's not a problem.
