Wireless GC controller options for Nintendont?

[Deleted member 42501]

Is there any way to use real GC controllers on the Wii U wirelessly? Like plugged into Wiimote via an adapter?

There is an adapter from mayflash. This adapter allows you to use your gamecube controller as an "extension" for your wiimote. I have the white ones which even detects my wavebird.

Cool. It's on AliExpress.

I've got a variety of GCN controllers so probably won't buy this (unless it's half price ).

Looks like more cables while the other is an adapter that connects to the Wiimote.

Wondering in terms of functionality as this one specifies Motion Plus remotes are compatible? The other one is far more aesthetic though without the extra wires.

Also can anyone who has played GC games on a Classic Controller (analog triggers) say if you ever get used to the button layout? Thats the main reason I want a proper controller as Mario Sunshine feels so off with a different button layout.

In my opinion, the classic controller is good. But it's a bit difficult to hold because of the missing palm grips. Makes it feel like a bar of soap

Why not use a USB adapter for GameCube games? An USB adapter supports rumble while classic controllers (and as a result GCN to classic adapters) do not.

The grip really is part of it. Button arrangement moreso as I remember the GC layout and it feels odd. The other CC with grips has no analog triggers though.

I don't like wires trailing across the room and wavebirds are too expensive.

The Wii CC is a bit like the NES with extra buttons and sticks. Guess it takes a bit to get used to.

Wii cc pro is shaped more like a pro controller for the wiiu.

Odd that the "Pro" doesn't have analog triggers, when the original does.

Oh, I'm not sure. I own both, but I never really used them. I'm just a controller collector.

They got rid of them due to some patent thing:
