Gamecube Controllers Will Only Work With Smash Brothers and I Hate It

CCC Says: "Today, Nintendo announced a bit of information that has a lot of gamers angry. A while back, when they first announced the Nintendo Gamecube Controller Adapter, they suggested that the Gamecube controller would be usable on games that support the Wii U Pro controller. However, now it seems as if that is not the case. In a statement issued to Gamespot, Nintendo said that Smash is the only game that will take advantage of the Gamecube Controller Adapter. The statement read as follows:

"The GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U is compatible with Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U specifically - it is not compatible with any other Wii U software."

theres unofficial nintendo gamecube adapters and people say it works on other games like kart 8 and 3d world
you can see videos of it on youtube too so I think it will work just it has a little lag so theyre saying it wont work

marloc_x4234d ago

An update suggests it is compatible with ANY Wii U Pro Controller game.

pcz4234d ago

nintendo are experts at disappointing their fans

they are also experts at defying logic

why would they even bother going through the trouble to make this 'product' when it will only work with one game. especially when common sense screams it would make a perfect opportunity to offer it for use with other games.

you know what it is, dont you, nintendo deliberately wont make it work with other games because they want to sell the wiiu pro controller. they want to force people to buy that wiiu pro controller they have in production. greed and stupidity.

on another note, i have recently become interested in that new alien isolation game. i looked if it was on the wiiu- of course it isnt. another loss for nintendo. and another reason for buying a wiiu struck off the list.

nintendo dont do themselves any favours.

GC controllers only have 3 shoulder buttons. Also the L and C sticks can't be pushed in like buttons. 1 start button, ect. Common sense...

iplay1up24234d ago

Most Wii U software would not work with the GameCube controller anyway. There are way more buttons now. Maybe in the future Nintendo will have GameCube games on the eshop, which was talked about when the Wii U came out.

LOL_WUT4234d ago

Then whats the point of releasing this if it'll only work with Smash? The price of these is whats tempting but it only being useable in one game makes them useless. ;)

iplay1up24234d ago

I still have GameCube controllers including wavebird so its worth it for me to get the adaptor.

marloc_x4234d ago

Nintendo updated the description in that ANY game supporting Pro will work with this adaptor.

GhostTurtle4233d ago

Its only being released for Smash. Thats all they've ever said it would be released for. Thats the point. If you don't like it, stick with your other Wii U controllers.

wonderfulmonkeyman4234d ago (Edited 4234d ago )

Well of course you hate it.
An unnecessarily large amount of gamers, lately, seem to want to find a reason to hate on absolutely everything Nintendo does lately, even to the extent of blowing up small issues into larger ones via inane articles.
It's the "popular" thing to do right now.
Doesn't make it fair, but it is what it is.

CanadianTurtle4234d ago

I was really disappointed when I learned that this was SmashBros4 exclusive. I really wanted to use this on Wii mode because I still want to be able to Brawl with a gamecube controller now that I don't have a regular Wii anymore.

And for those who are going to talk shit, yes I really enjoyed Brawl, deal with it. It's a game I'd still go back to now and then because I never find it boring to play.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory4234d ago

Then buy a GC adapter for Wiimote.

To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.

I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.

franwex458d ago

Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.

5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee

BlaqMagiq1457d ago

Yup Ultimate for me BY FAR is my favorite.

Ten Overdue Fighters for Smash Bros.

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "While the future of Smash Bros. has been uncertain for a while - whether Nintendo will build on Ultimate or bring us a new entry entirely - within all likelihood a new Nintendo system still means something new for Smash Bros. is on the horizon, and that something will almost certainly include new fighters, however many or few. While this might be the gaming article equivalent of putting up Christmas decorations in October, it’s never too early to start speculations when it comes to Smash Bros. before two thirds of everything inevitably gets leaked ahead of time. Keep in mind that this is not a list of predictions for future newcomers, though a few could perhaps fit in that same category, but rather a small list of the characters that in this writer’s humble opinion are overdue an appearance in the gaming crossover to end all crossovers."
