GameCube Controller on the Wii U?

On change.org, fans have banded together to sign a petition to send to Nintendo. Quite simply, this is a petition to persuade Nintendo into making a GameCube-style controller for the Wii U. The controller itself has been a fan-favorite during the GameCube and Wii era and used in many games, notably Super Smash Bros. Melee on GameCube and Super Smash Bros. Brawl on Wii. When the Wii U came out, it was unfortunate that GameCube controllers would no longer be usable on the new console. It was up to third parties to keep it alive and make adapters that allowed users to connect said controllers to use on Wii U.

SIGNED...I hope they succeed.

Make it so Nintendo, just in time for Smash Bros

-Foxtrot4467d ago (Edited 4467d ago )

Doesn't it...fell it love with it the moment I saw it.

If I could play Smash or even Mario Kart with that controller or something like it, it would be amazing

Probably best looking controller I've ever seen.

Snookies124467d ago

I just hope if they do decide to make one, that they'll make a more suitable D-pad. That was the only flaw the Gamecube controller had in my opinion. It was such an awesome controller, but the D-pad was just terrible lol.

PS4isKing_824467d ago

I want to make sweet electronic love to that controller.
Make it so Nintendo!!!! Best Nintendo controller ever made in my opinion and one of my all time favorites.

3-4-54467d ago

This picture is awesome.

Gamecube controller IMO is the second best gaming controller of all time behind the 360 controller.

deafdani4467d ago

Funny, considering both have shitty d-pads. :P

Berezau4467d ago

It looks good but definitely prefer the pro controller, mainly because I feel that it is more comfortable to have the thumb sticks at the top of a controller in opposite but even positions... it's a getting old, arthritic thing lol

swice4467d ago

Man...I never wanted to make love to a piece of hardware as much as this right here.

I'm not so sure about it. But it would be a great piece of collection for sure.

-Foxtrot4467d ago

If it's successful they could just revamp it as the new Pro Controller, so they don't have too many different controllers out there.

Andy15204467d ago

You make a good point there. I would definitly buy just to play the new Smash on it for sure

deafdani4467d ago

Wouldn't work, at least not with the current button configuration. One of the main reasons for the Pro Controller to exist is to play Virtual Console games, and in that area, it excels, because its button layout is perfect for any console that is emulated on the Virtual Console.

Try playing Super Mario World on the Gamecube controller, for example. It just doesn't work.

nassour4467d ago

Cant wait! I hope the thing works out, perfect controller for smash!

-Foxtrot4467d ago

A good marketing plan would be having bundles for Smash with it included like how with Skyward Sword it was bundled with the Gold Wii Mote.

jcnba284467d ago (Edited 4467d ago )

Would be sweet if they packed it in with a copy of the new Smash but I'm happy enough with the pro controller.

BlackWolf4467d ago

Would be a nice feature to have. Many of my buddies prefer using the GameCube controller when playing Samsh Bros. Hope Nintendo gives players some way to use it with the Wii U.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi53d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer54d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot54d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno54d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay54d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno52d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK53d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
