That doesn't matter as the Wii OS is running under a hypervisor and thus as long as the Wii U OS supports it all it would take is a bit extra code and it will work in Wii mode. The Gamecube doesn't support PS3 controllers or Clasic controllers either yet they both work in Nintendon't.
Of course, given that Nintendo can't even write a decent GBA emulator for the Wii U (the GBA virtual console games are done by M2, not Nintendo) having GC adapter or even Wii U gamepad support in Wii mode is unlikely.
See, this is the problem with Nintendo's customers - they didn't get the memo about patches yet.
That, and controller I/O should be controlled by the OS anyways, not the game. For all intents and purposes, the game should only get information regarding input, not what kind of a controller is sending it.
That's even better - it's wireless.
While I have the official recharagable batteries for my 360's controller I just plugged the cable to it and so it never needs to be recharged and boots up the console instantly, plus the controller's always on.
For myself, I prefer wired controllers over wireless. Wireless aren't that bad if you don't mind recharging every couple of days.
No, they'd release a new firmware upgrade to make the controller usable for the games.
You would think that a device like this would be an excellent opportunity to have a firmware upgrade that actually does something USEFUL (no, adding folders to a main menu isn't my idea of a useful firmware upgrade). But why the damn thing doesn't emulate the wiiu pro controller (except wired) is beyond me. How many times is nintendo going to reinvent their own wheel?

So in other words, not all is lost, but that in its default state, or at first, not many will be supported but that in theory, games can be patched.
I kind of agree (not with the N64 controller comment mind), it is uncomfortably small for most games... however, as it's been made specifically with Smash Bros in mind, it'll be interesting to see how the Pro controller fares against it: I'm a huge fan of the Classic Controller but for Brawl (only) it paled in comparison to the GC pad.. As such I don't give a flying bollock about the news, but as certain versions of the game are coming with one of these packed in, I'll probably still get it.
You mean that stupid ass Wii U Pro Controller that has an analogue stick on the top right and digital triggers? Haha, better.. yeah right.
If NGC were a child's controller then they wouldn't use it at the EVO tournament, nor for the Wii or even bring back for the Wii U. It's Nintendo's best controller to date.
You had me at
but lost me completely with
Actually I wouldn't say the GC controller was awful, just not particularly good. Incredibly overrated, but nowhere near the worst controller ever. Or even from it's gen (Xbox duke, anyone?)
The WiiU Pro controller is only deficient in a few small areas, mainly lack of analog triggers. I can see people not liking the analog sticks both being on top, too, but it's comfortable as hell, and easily the best feeling controller I've held in ages. And that battery makes the Energizer bunny jealous with how long it keeps going, and going, and going
I can see why people would want a wired GC controller to reduce lag, but then you have the crazy people that want to plug a damned wavebird into the thing, completely rendering it nonsensical.
You are reading way too much into that. Why the and? Because it only works with that combination of items. It only works on a Wii U and only with the game "Smash Bros For Wii U". There's no mention of vWii mode because to Nintendo's perspective it's no different than an actual Wii.

I point out its flaws and that's what you come up with? Typical fanboy without anything else to say.
The N64 controller is also one of Nintendo's worst controller's with their weird design but thankfully they've never brought that shit back.

I think that Nintendo is trying to say that the GC controller adapter is not compatible with current software. I don't see no reason why it wouldn't be compatible with future software releases and also updates to past software releases. It would be stupid on their part to release a controller and controller adapter for only one game when it could be used for more than that.
people like the gamecube controller. Get over it.
This is surprising to people? WiiU games weren't made with it in mind and vWii isn't supposed to have Gamecube support so there's no point in making it work there too.

So this means Nintendont will likely be unable to work with it. This would be a boon for vWii mode users would it not?
There's no reason to shell out money for this adapter when there's already gamecube USB and classic controller adapters that work with nintendont
