It's a curiously timed announcement, given the fact that it was just announced a week ago that Nintendo will partner with PDP to create a Gamecube-style "Fight Pad" specifically for use with Wii U's Super Smash Bros. when it debuts for the system (supposedly) late this year. They've just unveiled a new Wii U adapter that will allow players to use original Gamecube controllers to play the new Super Smash Bros. However, on inspection of eBay listings, it’s really easy to spot the fakes and dive into the real controllers.Nintendo has always been a company known for looking to their past successes for present day offerings, and that couldn't be more clearly the case with their announcement today. It’s just getting more and more expensive, the more time soldiers forward. Getting hold of a pre-owned Gamecube controller is actually incredibly easy.

For retro gaming and even using it in certain games, the USB adapter might not recognize the analog control of the triggers, causing any press to simply be a full trigger press.Īs modern games, like Multiversus, don’t really depend on the analog input, it might not be a consideration you want to make after all.

It is, however, $80 on Amazon – after a reduction of 11%.

We do know for a fact that the official Nintendo Gamecube to Switch controller adapter does support it.
