My Wii U is more or less used as a Smash Bros machine whenever we have friends visiting. I love in the Wii U version of Smash that you can have up to 8 players, and in most cases, there'll be a handful of people who prefer using Gamecube controllers over the Wii U offerings.Over the time I've had it, it's done its job admirably, accepting any of the various Gamecube controllers that get plugged into it. Compared to the third-party offerings, it's the best looking by far, and should work on PC like most of the other ones too, although I haven't tested this myself.The price premium you pay for going official Nintendo is a little more than I'd like - it's not a particularly complicated piece of hardware,

Like some other customers, I have primarily purchased this for use with specific emulation software, but I also wanted to see if this adapter would function as a general-purpose controller. Short answer: It does!Long answer: While it does work, you will need additional software. "Massive's gamecube adapter driver" can handle the majority of the legwork with regards to general-purpose controller compatibility (Zadig on its own will get it emulator-ready but Windows will not recognize it as a generic controller). I admittedly have only tested it with one game and it behaved oddly for one action (defending is perma-on once activated), but everything else in the game worked fine.In addition,

So here's the thing. These are supposed to be PRODUCT reviews, not ones about exploitative resellers trying to make a big profit.I preordered well in advance and got the game + adapter for only £50.True, it arrived a day late which is a poor showing from ShopTo but my wallet has benefited.The product itself works brilliantly and can also be used to connect 4 GameCube controllers to a PC. If you still have your GCN controllers, then it's RRP makes it an absolute bargain to achieve 4 player instead of spending £90 on 3 pro controllers. They also remain the definitive way to play a Smash Bros game.Ultimately, the problem is that they didn't make enough to meet demand.But in terms of function,

Unlike most of the salty people here, I got two adapters relatively easy, first one came with my Smash Bros for an added £10 and my second Amazon had to give me for the preorder price and a week after launch they sent me it for £17. Needless to say I'm happy about this! It works great, no lag, it's made well and doesn't get in the way, in fact because it has wires itself it pretty much extends the reach of the gamecube pads I've got.Oh and 8 player smash is absolutely amazing, there's really nothing like that level of chaos. Although I got both of mine for less than £30 , I wouldn't buy one for more than that, as it only works for the one game.

Works fine with Smash Bros Wii U.But really bought this for a certain nameless emulator on the PC that wasn't too difficult to set it up with.Ignore the other low star reviewers griping about price if you are reading this in 2015/16. When this was first launched a huge amount of scalpers bought the stock and started reselling at over 5 times the normal price which caused more of a backlash than when Project M got removed from tournaments!

Alternatives are available. Simply use the Wii Pro Controller, available since the Wii was originally released or the 3rd party USB single Gamecube controller converter device that are selling for around £10. If you buy this official adapter at an overinflated price from an uber Capitalist and later change your mind remember, that you have 30 days in order to return the item for a refund.

The product is great, I managed to find this bundled with the game in my local toy shop. Playing Smash with the Gamecube controllers is much easier than trying to find enough pro controllers or dealing with the tablet. If you can find this for the correct price then buy it. Don't fall for the inflated prices though, it's not worth spending that much on as you can use other controllers.

I got this since launched with SSB. for Wii U plus I got all Amiibo figures alongside.People whining about this epic adapter out of stocks. They need to patience and wait for Nintendo release more stocks of it. Nintendo announced they bringing more soon.HeheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheSSB. for Wii U is best game of 2014 and Game of the Year 2014. :P

The poor distribution of this product does in no way reflect on how well it performs as a GameCube adaptor for the Wii U, I had pre-ordered mine months prior to release and still received it a week late.Regardless of that the product works perfectly and I've had a great time playing smash with the GameCube control.

As for the product it is fantastic and smash HAS to be played with a gamecube controller it just doesn't feel right other wise, now as for the asking price.... It a rip off don't spend a penny over £20 for the sellers putting it up for 70+ pounds should be ashamed of them selves.

is without a doubt my game of the year for 2014 and there's still A LOT to unlock (stages, trophies, music) but when it comes down to it, the gameplay of Smash Wii U is the absolute most important part and that you should either play with the

Awesome gadget so lucky to get one, my brother and I played Super Smash Bros with this he had two CG controllers and it was nostalgic!I feel sorry for these that didn't manage to get one.

Bought for my son who has the GameCube controller. He uses it for the Wii, and now with the adapter he can play his games on the WiiU. Fantastic price and a great addition to the family.

Works really well, unfortunately only Super Smash Bros WiiU supports the gamecube controllers so if you love SSB and love gamecube controllers, this is definitely worth getting!

So it was worth waiting, genuine adapter for £20, nice one nintendo/amazon... I hope the scalpers get stuck with their stock!!
