I've seen the Mayflash PC adapter to use Wii Classic Controller(s) but has anything about it for the Wii or Wii U been done?
lol I hate when we have to do that every now and thenor rebuying batteries.
You answered your own question.Well, just a USB adapter that connects a Wii Classic Controller to the console via USB, much like it is for PC. I guess such thing does not exist. :-/
You answered your own question.
I recall there being a Wii development unit that had a Classic Controller port directly on the console itself. So it's likely that Nintendo toyed with the idea of having the ports on the console, but ended up putting them in the Wiimotes. A mistake, IMO.
So when Nintendo was finally doing something right they went ahead and screwed it up. Typical Nintendo. :-|
Here's a picture of CAT-DEV v3, a Wii U development kit. Sure enough it has a port for the Classic Controller directly on the unit itself. I wish retail units had something like this...

I totally get this and they're even releasing the Bowser and Toad Wiimotes soon, but it honestly begs the question what for? Early Wii U games had mixed support and current Wii U games have barely any support for Wiimotes. Even in games with Wiimote support it feels tacked on, e.g. in Hyrule Warriors.Wow, this is a really dick move of Nintendo to not include such an essential feature on the retail Wii U models too but from a business perspective it makes sense, they still want to sell Wiimotes so they had to sacrifice it.
