That's still taxing. It's a gamecube controller man... $15 max
The adapter is $20. The controller is $30 for the specially marked one but most people already have gamecube controllers so... yea.

People have been using the gamecube controller for 13 years. Smash Melee felt like it was made for that controller and the gamecube controller was supported on brawl so add extra years to that made this thing muscle memory for folks.

:mindblown: I haven't read about this yet but if so, shyt like this is the reason these companies put out half assed products or just over-price shyt. Ppl steady buying DLC, "collectors editions", half finished games, etc smh
They released the controller for the GameCube games they plan on releasing on the WiiU virtual console.

I hear you (and @Family Man) , but I just think its fukked up that they are milking that old controller like that. They could have at least made a modern, wireless version of it or something...

the wiiU pro controller is serviceable but that gamecube is the GOAT for smash bros.

If you ever lose a close match you'll wish you had one

Can't please both. People with old controllers would get tight saying they trying to fukk people over and why can't they make a new adapter or something.

The people wanted to use GC controllers on the Wii U, so Nintendo delivered a method for those who already have controllers on deck, and a controller for those who don't. Don't see how it's a bad move at all, since it's an optional peripheral that people actually wanted support for. Nintendo been doing shyt right recently after everybody wrote them off for dead. :ehh:
