go fix it dust gets on the lens and you can clean it out with this
Yes, it is backwards compatible. You DO need a Wiimote however, and probably a nunchuck (thats the name of the joystick attachment) but i'm sure that can be fixed.
Wii to hdmi Converter, Gana wii to hdmi Adapter, wii to hdmi1080p 720p Connector Output Video & 3.5mm Audio - Supports All Wii Display Modes https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078MGZ56R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Zju4CbTPZQRBV
Can vouch for these. I have all 3 games on Wii with these with a few other light gun games. HotD 2 and 3 are hard as hell.
Really satisfies the light gun itch when I get it.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sumvision-Gaming-Keyboard-Mouse-Adjustable/dp/B00J2U3D7G
There rubber dome, and the mouse has tracking issues, if you play CS stay away from it. Cheap and not good.
Breath of the Wild only supports the Gamepad and Wii U pro controller.
You do not want that PDP Samus fight pad. They suck, and will not work in Breath of the Wild. Also, the PDP pads are literally Wii Classic Controllers, requiring a Wii Remote to use. Not necessarily a negative, just something you need to know.
If you REALLY want a Wii Classic Controller shaped like a GC one, get the HORI Battle Pad.
This also will not work with Breath of the Wild.
If you want the amazing Gamecube Controller shape/Feel in your Zelda, you want THIS AMAZINGLY AWESOME PIECE OF TECH (Also available on Amazon and I think Gamestop).
That is a Wii U pro controller shaped like a GC controller, and works with all Wii U games that support the pro controller. The main reason this works where the other models mentioned here don't is that it features clickable analog sticks. The buttons/control sticks sometimes get desynced when entering and leaving the home menu, but a quick hold of a,b,+,- for 3 seconds will fix any and all issues.
Battery life is excellent, and I have no real complaints.
Only weird thing about it is that the 'Start' button is actually the console power button. To pause your game you'll probably just press + or - as usual.
This is the capture card I have. It works pretty well, but it records in 480i at 60fps I believe (the Wii outputs 480p max). I'd recommend buying these cables as well due to S-Video being much higher quality than standard AV cables.
For your software, you'll want to download Virtual Dub (the bundled software is not that great plus Virtual Dub gives you options for compression). For encoding, I'd recommend HuffYuv. It's a lossless codec meaning it will be a large file size, but the quality will be 1:1 with the TV.
You'll then want to compress it to a much smaller size. There is a simple program that will encode it in x264 and NeroAAC which will shrink the file size and still give you great quality. You can download it here and I'd recommend the tutorial here.
I think that word is 'scam'. :P
EDIT: This is the cheapest one on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-USB-Enabled-Lan-Adapter/dp/B000WY8GW8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342518765&sr=8-1&keywords=wii+ethernet
Don't listen to the other 3 people this TV should be just fine.
It looks like it has an S-video input (labeled Y/C-input on the TV in this picture) they make wii output cables with those like this. Then there's only one audio input below it, so plug in the white audio cord into that and you'll be set.
Hori makes a controller that is functionally identical to a a GameCube controller, which plugs into the Wiimote. The Wii sees it as a classic controller. here is the one I use with my Wii. It's compatible with Wii and Wii U.
Those cheap wii2hdmi converters are crap. I use a Portholic wii2hdmi and I absolutely love it. It is universally considered one of the best brands for wii2hdmi.
Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753CZ8MC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kBsNDbTA7HJFQ
I actually hooked up one of my Wii's to my HD this weekend. No component inputs, so I had to order one of these.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078MGZ56R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Works fine in 480p/16:9.
Also, if you ever reclaim your Wii, you should definitely homebrew it, it's a great emulation machine.
Wii Remote Plus Available in all colors. 31.99 Save $8.
Same price at Best Buy if you have any reward certificates waiting to be used.
Don't buy it they make it look the same for a reason. Grab a Nintendo licensed third-party Wii U Controller, or just shell out the extra 20 bucks for the pro. You can also use a classic pro controller for a lot of games.
http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Commander-Wii-U-Nintendo/dp/B00ANHBJBY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406537466&sr=8-2&keywords=wii+u+controllers - This is a cheap controller by Nyko for Wii U i can't speak for it myself but the reviews seem OKAY.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00BRA9R5G/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new&qid=1406537516&sr=8-1 - This is an Afterglow controller, again i can't speak for it myself but i DO have an afterglow X360 controller which works perfectly.
If i was you, find a deal at target/wal-mart/amazon for a pro controller, it has an insane amount of battery life, and really it's just a fantastic controller. Also the wii-mote and nunchuk is used for a lot of games as well so maybe think about picking that up.
ditto
>It’s not like the melee specific crowd is going to generate a good return on investment
the article you linked mentions multiple businesses that get by specifically by catering to the melee community lol
It's what they're calling it in store.
Same with Amazon.
For Wii, you can find decent adapters for less than $20 from Amazon. I did. This one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753CZ8MC
GameCube? Those are rarer and a lot more expensive. The cheapest is the Carby v2, which costs $75. I just got one. https://insurrectionindustries.com/product/carby-v2/
This only works on a DOL-001 console.
You need a LAN adapter.
If you're wondering what other game to get, I would recommend you getting Stealth Inc. 2, Pier Solar, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, Pushmo World, Unepic, Armillo, Mighty Switch Force, Scram Kitty, Nano Assault Neo, Puddle, Steamworld Dig, Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut, NES Remix, Teslagrad, Master Reboot, Ittle Dew, Stick It to the Man, Cubemen 2, Ballpoint Universe: Infinite, Edge, Toki Tori, and Another World.
There's a number of them on the Wii that would tickle your fancy; House of the Dead: Overkill; Deadspace:extraction; There's Link's Crossbow Training (not sure how good it is, never managed to pick it up, it's universally trashed for not being a Zelda game but I've never heard a gameplay review). Sin and Punishment: Star Successor is kind of a hybrid lightgun shooter (you control the movement of your character with a nunchuck and can perform melee attacks). This is the gun I use ($60 Amazon LOL, you can find these in clearanece bins of used videogame stores), I really like it and hope it does me well for duckhunt. I just hope you can turn the cursor off.
>Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Smash bros with online, some people complain about the floatiness, doesn't bother me
Floating and tripping were the main two issues you'll hear any fan of Melee bring up. I agree entirely, to be honest. Tripping especially is a point of contention, as it's the one random element you can't remove (unlike stage selection, or items.)
As for my suggestions-
Ghost Squad- I play with this gun attachment because I am awesome. The game is 20 bucks pretty much everywhere, and it's a good enough shooter to warrant it.
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core- Absolutely fantastic 2d fighter
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom- See above, but add in characters you actually recognize.
Trauma Center (New Blood or Second Opinion, I recommend New Blood due to multiplayer.)- IS IT WATER ON THE KNEE? OPERATION. No, seriously, it's a surgery game played with the wiimote that can get real challenging real fast. Definitely recommended for you and a friend to tackle.
Wiiware
Contra Rebirth- ITS GOD DAMNED CONTRA
Megaman 9/10- Classic blue.
Try this one from amazon. Reviews say it's original.
This is the one I bought on german Amazon (Original Nintendo - it's a set of four, they are blue, green, white and pink).
As I have 4 controllers, this was a good deal (you have to pay shipping fees around 5€).
The Amazon picture is misleading btw. This is what you get if you order
Buy the Wii Cleaning Kit, or go to a videogame shop that has a disc polish machine, and ask them to polish the MK disc.
The game pad turns off when you switch to Wii mode.
You will need the Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuck to play the classic Wii games but, the classic Wii remote will work as well if you already own that. In addition, I'd also recommend grabbing a classic controller if you plan on playing Wii games like Super Smash Bros Brawl as the Wii U Pro Controller will not work.
There is an official forum list here of compatible external hard drives, but I haven't put much of a dent in mine yet so, you may want to hold off.
Typical file sizes for older SNES games seem to be in the 20-30 MB range.
The two wal marts by my house have the Pdp afterglow controller on clearance for $20. I picked it up for my daughter for Christmas becaise she really likes my pro controller so I haven't got to test it out yet. So If anyone has one and can chime in I'd like to know what people's thoughts are on them.

Here ya go, this is the UK Amazon though
Nintendo Wii U Game Pad High Capacity Battery (Wii U)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00EZPU0E2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_39TIwbKNVC48Y
Here's the exact one I ordered
All WiiU games and any Virtual Console games that are in the WiiU's eShop can be default be played 100% with the gamepad. If you want to play old Wii games you will most likely (99% of games) need a Wiimote and nunchuck. Based on personal preferences you can then opt for a Pro Controller to use with certain games if you want. For example, I played Hyrule Warriors exclusively with the Pro Controller even though I didn't have to, just 'cause.
PowerLead Cgw PLW001 Wireless Controller Gamepad for Nintendo Wii U Bluetooth Game Controller Joystick Gamepad (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SN1QEGW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_M4XgzbZNNW0X3
Unrelated to topic but just as an FYI. I have been very happy with these knock off Pro controllers. Won't help with the lack of screen I don't think but might be more effective than a dualshock
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SN1QEGW/
These were only a few dollars more with free prime 2 day shipping. I'm convinced they are real pro controllers, one of them even has the slight remains of a polished off Nintendo logo. Idk what their deal is but they work great and I have only charged them once since I got them a few months ago.
Splatoon's motion controls are absolutely the thing to use. They let you aim faster and more precisely than what's possible with an analog stick. It's the same sort of advantage over a stick that you get with mouse aim on PC FPSes, but less so.
As for Smash, if you're used to Gamecube controllers but don't currently have one, the Hori Battle Pad is the way to go. It plugs into the Wii Remote (it's essentially a Classic Controller) so you'll need one of those too. If you already have at least one Gamecube controller, get the adapter. This only works with Smash but the Battle Pad works with any game that supports Classic Controllers.
If you have an ethernet jack near your Wii U, get the wired network adapter and say goodbye to unstable or dropped connections in Splatoon!
Definitely, no matter what, get a Pro Controller. I also recommend two Wiimotes and Nunchuks.
If it helps, I've used one of these HDMI adapters on my Wii for years and never had any issue with it. They're only $10.
That being said, the Wii U will play original Wii games, and has some great games that your kiddo might like as well. My son (also 5 years old) really likes Yoshi's Wooly World and Mario Kart 8. We've gone through Breath of the Wild together twice as well; though he hands off the controller to me whenever he spots bad guys or has trouble maneuvering Link somewhere (really neat to watch him work out what to do in the puzzle shrines though).
Here it is.
Nintendo made one for the Wii which will also work with the Wii U. Here is a link to one on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-USB-Enabled-Lan-Adapter/dp/B000WY8GW8
Setup was easy. You can find instructions on the amazon page and elsewhere to get it installed, and once you have the drivers+software, everything is in english. There's tons of resources for using an old deinterlacing program called amarectv with the device, but mine seemed to work and look fine off of just OBS. I never had any luck with amarec.
I never really had any issues with the device on my laptop, other than messing with the settings until I got it to a quality I liked. My desktop didn't seem to like it for some reason, but that's had a multitude of other issues, so I don't think it was the capture device.
Yes, S-video would look better, though I can't exactly say how much better. You can read up on the differences a bit here, and here's a random youtube video comparing different input recordings on PS2 games. Also keep in mind that you need an S-video output cable for your wii and a CRT that has S-Video input. A good chunk of TVs seem to have them, but not all.
As long as the splitter is powered, it shouldn't add any delay, and shouldn't take away from the quality either.
All good on the questions! I had to figure a lot of this stuff out myself, and ended up wasting money on different things because of it x.x
Edit: Oh, and for the recording 4:3 thing, that's just the aspect ratio on the image. The video being recorded from the capture card will be coming in 4:3(as that's what the image on the CRT is). OBS streams + records on a default 16:9 widescreen image, but keep in mind that's the full stream picture, including the capture, overlays, player cam, and whatever else you want to put on there. If you're streaming, you'll likely want to keep the 16:9 output, so you can do something like this, where the gameplay takes up one side of the stream, and you still have space on the other side for a camera and other information.
>Good composite setup - Avermedia C039, use a S-video cable for wii that has S video and composite. Plug the S video in to the capture card and the composite in to the TV and use splitters for audio. OBS has built in deinterlace software that works well.
https://www.amazon.com/Wii-S-Video-AV-Cable-nintendo-u/dp/B001B0A3A0
https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-Standard-Definition-Composite-C039/dp/B00603S1OS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485960536&sr=8-1&keywords=avermedia+c039
So these?
I got a component capture card a long time ago for Wii; if I wanted to use it, should I try to buy a component to composite converter?
It's because your wii's disk reader is old, probably dusty or something. I had the same problem which was fixed by replacing the boot.elf file with an older project m version's boot.elf. This works because in the older versions, it didn't take you back to the wii menu, it just lets you try again. You could do that or fix the wii by buying this but it's sort of expensive.
Edit: Where you can download older versions of project m: https://sites.google.com/site/sapphiredragon77/SapphireDragon/projectm-mirror
I use the US version of these. Same plug and all.
Try going for the Japanese one from Amazon. It's literally the exact same as the US version (and OEM), except the packaging is in Japanese. I got mine the other day and it works like a charm.
This new version of a wiimote would really help encourage me to wii dance more (and be less frustrated when it lies about whether I did a move) as well as we would have two wiimotes so I could play with my BF! =D
Sorry, if I wasn't clear. The console itself comes with the tablet, the gamepad is completely optional, and most games want you to have one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Remote-Plus-Black/dp/B0094X28J0/ref=sr_1_4?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1396401930&sr=1-4&keywords=wii+remote
I don't remember if it came with any, or how many, because I bought it at launch. But really, Wiimotes are all you need for multiplayer. Those and games.
Look up the Afterglow Pro controllers. They are clear plastic controllers you can get for the Wii U that are at least $10 cheaper than the official Pro controller and is superior in every way in my opinion.
The Afterglow has a slightly smaller and conforming shape than the Pro does. Think Xbox One feel. The analog stick platforms are concave so you get superior control without slippage, once again, think Xbox One style. The triggers are responsive and feel great. The price is spot on, and they come with their own charging cables.
The only complaints I have are follows: I don't like glossy finish controllers. Both the Afterglow and Official Pro controllers are glossy. I find clear controllers tacky looking, and I don't like LEDs in my controllers. I don't plan on doing anything about the Afterglows being clear, but you can turn off the LEDs with a button press, so that isn't an issue anymore.
Wii U Afterglow: Here is a link to an Amazon listing for them. You can also get them at local Gamestops for like $29.99+tax. I bought 4 of these when I got my system and love them.
I think I may use one for a Majora's Mask mod that I want to do.
If you want 3rd parties, check out the Afterglow controllers. I find them to be more comfortable for some games, and they are cheaper. PDP makes some decent quality stuff.
While unavailable online, they can usually be found in Gamestops and places like Sears, WalMart, Target, etc.
Would you be at all interested in a 3rd Party WiiU Pro Controller?
I'm interested in Lucina.
For a slightly more detailed answer...
What you have there on your TV is a Component input set of connectors. Component video works by splitting the video signal on 3 separate wires which correspond to Red, Green and Blue. The standard Wii video cable connects to Composite input. Composite video outputs the video signal on a single Yellow wire.
Now, the Wii is capable of outputting Component signal through a compatible cable (not sure where you're located, but here's a link on Amazon for it). This would actually be the best video output the WIi is capable of and I totally recommend this, it's what I use too. Using this should be straightforward on your TV, connect everything to its corresponding color (Audio is on top, Video is on bottom). Be sure to select 480p HDTV video signal in the Wii's settings.
Depending on the capabilities of your TV, you could get by with the standard Composite Wii cable (Yellow, White and Red) by connecting the Yellow connector to the Green input of your TV, but whether this works or not depends on the TV (my big ass Philips Android TV, for example, accepts only Component input on these connectors, it does not allow Composite signal and would only display a monochrome fuzzy image when I try this).
Here’s what I bought.
Amazon Link
They aren’t official but I’ve been using them for over 2 years now. But the CRT thing is really up to you. Component makes GameCube games really crisp but then you start to see how aged some games can be. You could get official cables but it won’t really make a difference.
Nope, £6 on Amazon

If finding a CRT becomes a problem, you can also settle for a monitor with a low response time (~1 ms) as an alternative, along with a wii2HDMI adapter. This way, your monitor can double for melee and PC gaming.
I've heard the Wii2HDMI adapter works pretty good.
Hmm interesting. Here is my adapter

I haven't messed with the settings of the wii or gc mode either. I have real GC discs and usbloader to try. So I could try usbloader and change any video output settings too.

THIS IS WHAT I GOT, it is very good for the price, the mouse is very goood. It is both mouse and keyboard.
Here's my setup
Yes, yes, I know, I have a CRT instead of a flat screen TV. If you'd also notice, I play more old consoles than new and CRT is superior to flat screen for them (and much cheaper). Ideally I'll be upgrading to a small (~20") Sony Trinitron. The 32" ones are free and widely available but they're sooooo big and heavy.

Just got a Wii motion sensor bar so I can play light gun games on my PC and use the WiiMote as a remote control. Also thinking about racing games with the steering wheel attachment. Monitors are from Craigslist ($35 and $10 respectively). CRT was a gift from a friend. It's dying though (discoloration). Pre-amp and speakers were also gifts from friends. PC and consoles I bought myself.
Yeah Arkham's going to be remastered soon on xbone. Deus Ex HR is also back compat on xbone.

Smash, Kart, and Rayman legends support the widest range of controllers.
If you think your co-workers would fair better with more traditional controllers --- the Pro Controllers are the closest fit. They are a fairly expensive but also have a nearly 80 hour battery life. In games that support it, pro controllers can usually be used interchangeably with the gamepad (screen controller).
On the other end of the spectrum, the wii mote is cheaper, has less buttons (primarily used for simple games), includes pointer / motion controls, and requires batteries.
Some games will require the nunchuck addon; alternatively, a classic controller addon provides support similar to the pro above.
All games will list controller compatibility on the back of the box (or info page on sale sites).
I use this controller because it feels like the Gamecube controller, but it connects to a Wii remote so it is sort of wireless. Plus I think I paid about $15 for it at a Gamestop, new in box. I also have a Princess Peach themed one.
Edit: This is read as a Classic Controller, so any game that lets you play with the classic controller should work with these.
Here's what I use and I don't think it's that expensive:
PDP Wired Fight Pad for Wii U - Link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PAB3P6A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_CuxIwbR29ZKB0
I believe the Wii Family Edition isn't compatible with GCN controllers. For a Wii that has GCN compatibility the Wii would have ports on the top of the console (along with 2 memory card slots) you just have to open up the top. The best I can suggest you to do is to get another Wii Remote on a site like eBay (around the 10 dollar price range for an official one) and a PDP Fight Pad or a Hori Battle Pad (which are basically Classic Controllers that are like Nintendo GameCube controllers, you plug them up to the Wii Remote like the Nun-Chuck or a regular Wii Classic Controller.)
link to purchase
The company PDP actually did make updated GameCube controllers with the extra shoulder button and the plus and minus buttons but if I'm not mistaken, it only worked when plugged into a Wii remote.
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00PAB3P6A?th=1&psc=1
I am currently using this. I haven't experienced any issues yet, and even the Home button works to take back to main screen. I don't like the button layout however, just feels wonky.
What's my best option for a Pro Controller? I've been playing Xenoblade Chronicles X as my first Wii U game, and I've found the Gamepad a bit uncomfortable. I bought this third party Pro Controller off Amazon, but I could tell right away I needed to return it: the left analog stick wasn't registering inputs properly, it only registered being fully pressed in any direction at diagonals. I could take another shot at this controller (it certainly seems to be working for some people, based on the reviews), but I was wondering if there were other good options?

Just saying, those off-brand Wii U Pro Controllers are great, I bought one last year, it plays great and the battery life is huge.
But careful with some brands, I recommend these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SN1QEGW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This one is just as good and less than half the price. Can't tell any difference between the Nintendo one and this brand.
oh man, I got stuff for you.
:Wii:
:Wii U:
And that's just the NES titles I have and that's not even HALF of what you can own.
They are up for pre-order but the discount isn't working for it. Works for the rest of the 22nd amiibo lineup, though.

Though searching for "portholic wii2hdmi" will get you it as the top 3 results, one for $10 without an hdmi cable, and one for $15 with an hdmi cable
I actually have a wii2hdmi converter, it’s just upscaled. Either way the quality is pretty solid and I like just having HDMI cords to deal with instead of juggling between proprietary cables or even monster cables.
I got this one and it's been working so far (2 days) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753CZ8MC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I don't know if you're familiar with it or would have any interest in it, but I use a Wii to HDMI converter from amazon. There is a surprisingly noticeable difference in picture quality.
Originally I used an RCA to cable converter, then I switched to an RCA to HDMI converter, but the one that I linked is nice because it cuts out the need for an extra power cord and improves picture quality at the same time. There are plenty of options and brands to choose from, I just went with the one that had solid reviews, and it has been great since I purchased it.
Yeah, it doesn't even support an Ethernet cable connection out of the box. If you wanted to connect it wired for some reason, you'd have to buy one of these.
I apologize but I can't take the picture right now because I am not at home. I can definitely get it to you with a couple days though. How much in addition to the wii were you thinking? Ill list the accessories I have:
-2 Wii controllers
-All wires (power, tv cable, sensor bar)
-Two guns like this
-Wii sports
-Wii Play
-Mario Kart
-Some hunting game
-Pikmin 2 (for gamecube, honestly an amazing game)
I picked up two Perfect Shots for those arcade-style games. They were incredibly worth it, especially since they were $20 or less for quite some time.
Is this it?
This is the one I had
What I'm talking about (wii S-video + AV cable) is one cable. Because the Wii comes with a standard AV cable (albeit with a proprietary connector to the Wii, but the output is universally accepted AV composite cables: yellow, red, white for video and left and right audio.) the cable with the s-video is the same thing, except it has one more wire that ends in s-video output, and this will plug into the ElGato. So, you do need this single cable to capture it via ElGato. Here's the link: link
i try record it but it does not show well on the camera but these are the cable i got for it :

It's a good suggestion, but I went already in all game stores where I live, I can't find a single strap without need to buy the whole Wiimote. JanS19 find a link in Amazon.de with original Nintendo straps, 4 pcs set.
I read somewhere than there are three version of the Nintendo wrist strap (first is the weaker, last the stronger). So I prefer bet on the better strap I can find, for the Vive.
Amazon has them as prime eligible.

This looks like it may be the genuine article. The manufacturer is listed as Nintendo which is promising. I've just ordered two which means there are probably only 10 left:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-2111666-Remote-Wrist-Strap/dp/B001EX1MWC
http://www.amazon.de/gp/B001EX1MWC
The straps for 4,65€ are not original (as stated in the details) but you can try the one for 5.62€+3€ postage. I paid 7€ with postage and got genuine straps.
If you don't mind the colors, I can send you the white and pink ones from my package. Send me a pm if interested.
https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Lens-Cleaning-Kit-Nintendo/dp/B001GZT1UI
Your Wii's lens is dirty. Try a Wii lens cleaning kit. Not sure how good these work because i made a homemade one but your problem is definitely a dirty lens.
This is what I have. It's not a homemade solution, but it works well.
you could try this or this
Here is a link from Amazon.
Just a disclaimer, I never had to use this product so I can not vouch for its effectiveness or if it will work right. I would try Nintendo support first but the reason I suggest this is if the discs work at a friends house then I'm thinking the issue is with the disc reader in the system.
Looks like a white Wii Classic Controller Pro.

Wii classic controller, might be the pro version actually. Like this.

One of the Hori or PDP fight pads that were recently released would work the same.
MM was included as a bonus disc with one of the games, and my brother played it all the time on the Wii with a Gamecube controller. That's why I'm assuming you'll need the classic controller or fight pad.
You don't get 2 gamepads, you get a different controller for 2 players! You can use a wiimote (which you may already have), or a Pro controller for this.
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Remote-Plus-Black-U/dp/B0094X28J0
Just google it man, that's what I've been doing. Search term Wii Remote Plus Black

PDP Afterglow

Pros: It has decent analogue triggers. Battery life not bad.
Cons: the rubber on the thumbsticks will probably tear a bit.
I don't use mine that often, but Mario Kart / Smash mulitiplayer has worn out the left thumbstick and it flaps a bit now, which is annoying.
It's not a terrible controller - good if you prefer analogue triggers, but I would recommend the Pro Controller if you can afford it, you definitely get what you pay for: solid, and insane battery life. I only bought this one (PDP) because I wanted two Pros and the only had one left in the shop.
PDP makes one of those Afterglow controllers for it. I've got it and I think it works great
http://www.amazon.com/Afterglow-Pro-Controller-Wii-U-nintendo/dp/B00BRA9R5G
Afterglow Pro Controller is a bargain. Found it at WalMart for $20.

if you don't want to spend $50, I bought myself this 3rd party one for $30. It has solid reviews. I can't speak for it myself since I haven't received it, just a heads up!
Yo, I just got a CRT with Component input. Is it worth getting a Wii Component cable to play on? I understand the concept of 480i relative to 480p, but I've never actually cared that much about it until now.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CA8636K/
Here's one listed for only $8.
There's a subgroup of melee video fidelity heads who would be extremely excited about it, but your average melee player probably isn't in the know about that kind of thing.
 
As it turns out CRT computer monitors are the cheapest way to get the highest quality video from your melee (480p), so it would definitely be worth hitting up your local melee scene and offering it, if you also explain to them why it's good and how to use it.
 
You need wii component cables and a component to VGA converter, then you gotta hold B while melee is starting up which gives you a little menu where it asks if you want to enable progressive scan and you say yes, but in all likelihood the screen is black on the monitor since before progressive scan is enabled it probably won't be able to display anything - so you gotta just hit left and then hit A once to select it without looking. But then you're all set and it's BEAUTIFUL!
 
Tournament organizers in particular would probably like it since they can use it for their live stream setup and have ultra high quality video for the players on stream as well as for the folks at home. It's a thing melee streamers do sometimes if they wanna be super classy with the production value.
same concept
Here's a Wii component cable on Amazon UK.
I've never had good luck with the Wii-to-HDMI adapters...they usually overheat and then you get slowdowns or out-of-sync audio.
I bought mine from Amazon UK. I believe it was ~$40 after shipping/conversion. I just got tired of waiting for it to be restocked in the US, and it's been more than worth it.
https://www.amazon.de/Wii-GamePad-High-Capacity-Battery-2550mAh/dp/B00EZPU0E2
Does anyone know how much is shipping if you would order this through Nintendo? It's $51.99 on Amazon but it had Prime Shipping.
US Amazon Link
Yeah. For some reason Amazon France & Germany occasionally do some really good deals on official high capacity batteries. Amazon Italy currently have one on sale for approx $25
Well that's a little harsh. I was basing it off amazons blurb
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00EZPU0E2?pc_redir=1413321999&robot_redir=1
Which is my bad. Should not have ordered from Nintendo directly
I use this one and it is great.
I actually just got done hooking my Wii up to my AVR. I used this.
I ordered this one

All of them seem to have pretty good reviews.
Hey, thanks for the response. I had a feeling my price limit might be a bit too low. I did however find this or this but that only shows one pure colour at a time. What do you think?
Hiya, not sure if this is the best place to ask but here goes.
I'm looking for some advice for purchasing a new mouse and keyboard. When I built my PC 2 years ago I bought some cheap Nemisis bundle (Sumvision LED Gaming Keyboard and Mouse Kane Pro Gaming LED Keyboard and LED Adjustable DPI Mouse https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00J2U3D7G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1.wnybKEXKCCW)
I am now looking to upgrade to a better quality keyboard and mouse, will primarily be used for gaming, not work or much typing. From the UK, budget for both would be max £100 pref around £80. Thanks!
Oh if you know a sub where this would be better answered I would much appreciate being redirected!
EDIT: Punctuation

Would that be a good mouse/keyboard combo?
If someone can recommend me a cheap one otherwise that'd be good too :)
hahaa So confusing. Wow.
So would this be the right combination?

The Wiimote and Nunchuk say WiiU on the box, but the controller says Wii. Is this right?
Will I be able to pair this to my PC?
I want to do some Wii emulation and I know you can pair a regular Wiimote but dunno about a "Wii U" branded Wiimote
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00N4OAELY/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1HODXWDOAIWOF&coliid=I3AFS485JOK26B&psc=1
Wasn't too bad... until the wii remotes. If your stand is going to be worth ~$80 (source), why not get something a little more durable than cardboard?
Zak's Videogame Shack on Amazon is legit. His is the first used listing for Wii Remotes with Motion Plus here: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/offer-listing/B00N4OAELY
I've personally bought one of them from him as well as a Pro Classic controller, Wii U Pro controller, Nunchuk controller, and Gamecube Wavebird, and all were in great cosmetic shape and 100% working order. His prices are also very solid.
I have both the Mayflash Adapter and the PDP Fight Pad
If you already have the GCN controller, the adapter works well enough, specially if you want it for VC games. Every once on a while, The adapter disconnects mid gameplay for a few secs, so that can be bothersome, I used it with a pc like you intend to, works just fine. The downside is you have less buttons than the classic controller (no select/- and only 3 shoulder buttons) and the L and R are recognized as such instead of ZL/ZR which can be confusing in some instances.
The PDP Fight pad works beautifully, has all the buttons and the right analog stick is actually a stick as opposed to the shorter c-stick. The one downside is the controller feels kinda empty, which makes it feel cheap (kinda like the classic controller or those awful gamestop branded GNN controllers), but it only feels cheap cos they are very responsive.
I would recommend the fight pad over the gcn adapter, unless you absolutely positively need the original gcn controller. Havnet used the hori pads, they have turbo built in but as far as i know are pretty similar to the pdp pads.
Wii U Fight Pad. These plug into Wii Remote ports, and can be used as a Classic Controller for the Wii or Wii U.
Samus Gamecube Wii Controller
Should I get this or the Wired Fight Pad?
Edit: Seriously? Downvoted for asking which controller is better value?
No it’s this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SA5IJIM
Best seller on amazon, and gbatemp.net forums said it works with Nintendont.
I'm using an off-brand one from KELUX. It was cheap as hell (less than $10 iirc). Got it around the time Nintendo ones were $60+
http://www.amazon.com/Gamecube-Controller-Adapter-Wii-U-Nintendo/dp/B00SA5IJIM Here's the one.
With GameCube controllers?
If you don't want to buy the expensive switch controllers there are adapters.
I have the KELUX adapter and it works in native mode. price is about the same as the Mayflash
As far as controllers go I think most people would be better off buying one of these three adapters:
http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SA5IJIM/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687542&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00L3LQ1FI&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1DX7SZQ4P8M8EKATZTM7
http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-nintendo-u/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_text_y
and real Nintendo branded Gamecube controllers like these:
http://www.amazon.com/Super-Edition-GameCube-Controller-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ4B4/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_img_y
or
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017KIBAI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The reason I recommend this is because the latest development builds of Dolphin have native controller support built in. This means you can just setup the adapter to work with Dolphin and then plug in your Gamecube controllers and you're ready to go with no additional setup. The controllers auto calibrate just like on a real console and you can even unplug controllers and plug them back in during gameplay and everything will still work. It's works really awesome.
I've used all manner of adapters at tournies, and I can't tell the difference. My own is a Kelux adapter, came in a generic purple box, and it's perfect. Better looking than Mayflash, at least. Cheaper too.
http://www.amazon.com/Gamecube-Controller-Adapter-Wii-U-Nintendo/dp/B00SA5IJIM
I bought a Gamecube controller adapter off Amazon (link) and have it connected in "PC" mode. It registers as 4 GameCube Controller Adapter (regardless of controllers being plugged in) and it seems to work as input. The four logical controllers show up under Big Picture > Settings > Controller Settings, but in Steam, it doesn't appear to behave the same way as, say, my Wii U Pro controller. When I click the Wii U Pro controller, it shows options for preferences, identify, calibrate, and layout. However, when I click one of the GC controllers, it immediately takes me to layout, and although I can change the button assignments, the only options are "cancel" and "clear and exit". Backing out of this screen resets the button assignments, and the controller does not seem usable in my games under Manage Game > Controller Configuration (when the Wii U Pro controller is not connected, it says no controller is connected, even though the GC controllers are showing in global settings).
How can I make the GC controller usable?

If OEM means made by Nintendo then yes. I have one that isn’t but it’s like a “recovered” controller. Uses the same parts as a Nintendo one.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SN1QEGW
I just wanted to bring an update back - After reading here, I bought two of those controllers - https://www.amazon.com/PowerLead-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo-Wii-Bluetooth/dp/B00SN1QEGW/ - and while they seem to be pretty good fit and finish, I DO find they do have a VERY slight delay to them. A delay that I do -not- experience with the big game tablet that comes with the system.
I can give a for-example. I am currently playing Ducktales (Fantastic, if you've not tried it, duplicate of the original I played as a kid) -- I was playing the Himalayas level and there's one section where you have to jump from rope to rope... It's a point where you let go of the rope, move right, then instantly press up. This controller would -not- do it. I died about 4x and thought it must not be receiving my UP fast enough to grab that rope... But sure enough, I set down the knock off controller and would you look at that, nailed it first try through all of the ropes with zero issues.
Now mind you -- I played the entire level with the other controller without any issue so this delay is VERY small. Quite possibly my button presses being advanced by myself without even really noticing, but sure enough, this section I could -not- do without the big game tablet-controller. I'm curious if it's just a cheaper bluetooth chipset they used in them, or if the Pro controller would suffer the same. I expect it would not, as it's not a bluetooth speed issue overall, the gamepad thingie is still wireless too.
I suppose anyone could test it for themselves - start a two player game with a jump in it, and press both of the buttons at the same time and see?
right here!
I ordered this one
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SN1QEGW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've had no problems with it, battery life doesn't seem as long as an actual Pro Controller but it should be 10+ hours on a single charge.
Bought 3 of these and they all sync up and connect right out of the box no problem. They are $20 clone Wii U Pro Controllers.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SN1QEGW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also have a SNES30 that syncs up fine... Opened the box, updated firmware from my PC, synced it up with pi... no issues... I'm about as pi noob as it gets, and I was able to get 4 controllers synced up with no problems and play 4 person super bomberman with my wife and kids.
Maybe your SNES30 is just a bad one...
I do like those Wii U pro controller clones though. They are nice.
a friend of mine gave me this joypad for Wii U: is there any adapter to use it on Switch and GameCube?

The Source has them, but is limited to 2 per order. I don't know if you could get around it by multiple orders, but it doesn't seem worth it. Don't know what shipping would be, but it's free with basically $40. You can send to store, but you wont get them until the following week at least.
Amazon.ca has them up, but not available to preorder. Most likely won't be until the 22nd, since they seem to have stopped with the preorders.
Best buy as you said is limited to 1 per household, but thought I would add this link anyway.
Nothing for EB yet, though I am constantly checking. Last time was max 3 per order, but you could do as many orders as you wanted.

I think (not 100%) that all wii u’s still have the multi-out port next to the hdmi port. It’s possible one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753CZ8MC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lRzQCbAKASYEG
Could work. I know they work on the wii but ive never tried it with a wii u (not usually necessary obviously). For $11 it might be worth a shot
So what's the point of listing an item as "Prime" if it's not in stock, not fulfilled by Amazon, and/or not actually 2 day shipping?
Over the last month or two I've had all those things occur:
An item would ship to me in 2 days, but wasn't expected back in stock for 2 or 3 more days. Yet it was one of the top recommended items for my search.
Another was sold and shipped by a 3rd party, but was still listed as Prime and had 2 day delivery. I personally preferred fulfilled by Amazon if not sold by too as I'm not having to deal with a 3rd party if there are issues.
On Wednesday I ordered this adapter so my kid can hook up our old Wii via HDMI. Shows as qualifying for Prime, however it noted at the time:
>FREE Delivery Thursday, Aug. 15 - Thursday, Aug. 22 Details
>
>Extended delivery time: To offer this low-priced item and a variety of such products, this item ships via ground.
As of this morning, it still hasn't shipped. I can't remember the last time I had a package that traveled by air, at least informally based on tracking checkpoints.
IOW, lately I just feel bamboozled that my Prime subscription may just be a way to secretly get me to pay for shipping with out me noticing. And labeling items as Prime a way to get higher margins from sellers. 🤔
They are in essence all rebrand of the same thing. But the one I ordered is..

Hey so i just bought this one https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Remote-Plus-Black-U/dp/B0094X28J0 and it's not rvl-CNT-01 it's rvl-CNT-01-TR. Do you have a link to a rvl-CNT-01 one because I've been having trouble finding one.
Instead of the XFX power supply, consider the EVGA 500W white. It costs pretty much the same and comes with really nice sleeved cables. If you haven't already, check out CiT cases. It's up to personal preference but I think some of the cases (F3 series, Dragon³) look really nice. Solid build, maybe grab up some extra hard drives when you need them but if you don't need storage then don't bother. Good luck with the build.

I know this is a bit off topic, but what I wish was still in production was the official Lan Adaptor for the Wii U. I got an off-brand adaptor and my gameplay online dramatically improved.

Here is the one I bought. Totally worth it for those who have access to a wired connection near your Wii U
I wanted the official, but they were asking close to 50-70 dollars for it... If I ever get the spare cash, I may still take the dive because I'm the kind of person who is about "all official nintendo products", but for now this will do.
The wiiu HAS an ethernet. Not defending it's still a shit console.

Worth mentioning there are more designs, such as a Pikachu one, a Lugi one, Link, Metal Mario, DK, Yoshi, Peach, Wario, and Samus. There might more designs, but that's all I found.
Regarding quality, they are officially licensed by Nintendo, so they should be good.
