Peripheral company Mayflash has produced the adapter, which is currently selling for $16.99 onAmazon.

It includes turbo functions, fully-customisable buttons and compatibility with both Wii classic controller and classic controller pro games.

Now all we need is some GameCube titles on Virtual Console.

I would consider buying this so I could play those CN games in Wii Mode, but a Classic Controller is still cheaper. :/


Some people always have a cellphone on them. I'm so awesome I always have a 3DS.

This is a 3rd party accessory, so don't expect it to work flawlessly.

 

That, and there's only 1 controller port, which is not a plus.

And that doesn't mean that companies will take advantage of the ability to use it. Like I doubt you would be able to use it for the new Smash being revealed next week

You can use it with more then GC games, some users who reviewed on amazon say they have used it with BLOPS2 and Monster Hunter

I'd be more interested if they can make it into a dongle that attaches directly to the wiimote, instead of a thing that dangles in the middle of the cord.

At least you can use this well with Wii games that took advantage of this controller, I'd imagine.

I can see this working great if your playing GC games, but it seems like it would be awkward for Wii U games or games not designed to use the controller.

Does the Wii U play any GC games? I thought it wasn't compatible with those.

Possible virtual console releases.

Gotcha.

 

On another note, being a Wii U n00b, I don't know much about the Wii since I never owned one. I have a Wii game that does not require motion controls (And Then There Were None), but when I try to play I still need to have a Wiimote to operate the Wii menu? What's up with that? I just want to play the game with my regular controller.

I don't know what to do, but you should always have a Wii remote. Too many games support it.

I don't think Wii mode supports wireless pro controllers.
