PSA: Wii U GameCube adapter only compatible with Super Smash Bros.

4.5
Following up on an erroneous product listing, Nintendo has confirmed that its GameCube controller adapter for the Wii U is only compatible with Super Smash Bros, and does not function with existing Wii and Virtual Console games.

Reports issued yesterday indicated that the adapter would be compatible with a broad selection of Wii and Wii U games, allowing players to use GameCube controllers in titles featuring Classic Controller support. Nintendo disclosed its mistake in a statement to Eurogamer earlier today, emphasizing that the peripheral is exclusively designed for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

"The GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U is compatible with Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U specifically - it is not compatible with any other Wii U software," a Nintendo UK spokesperson told Eurogamer. "The adapter is also not compatible with Wii and we apologise for any confusion."

I couldn't bring myself to get a Wii-U.

I don't really see the outcry about this.
The GameCube controller is only really necessary for Super Smash Bros anyway.

Pretty stupid, making an adapter to work with a single game. W/E, I don't have any Nintendo consoles anyway, other than my N64;)

Gossip Why buy an adapter just to play 1 game?! Makes total sense.


I was going to same the thing but many people love them some mario so that can be the reason i guess

Why couldn't they leave it like the Wii where you didn't need an adapter for the gamecube controller and the controller worked for many games, not just Super Smash Bros?

Musket Pretty cool idea Nintendo has doing this. It might sell some systems.


Im thinking about buying one because of this, so surely they're going to make some money.
