I would recommend the Hori Battle Pad for Wii U over these particular controllers.

There's actually something like this that they announced. It's more like a classic controller pro, but still. I'll see if I can find it.
Edit: This Thing
Wii classic controller. here
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.
This might interest you. It's functionally a classic controller, but it has the form factor of the GameCube controller.
I have owned or tried all the major/popular controllers for Retropie.
Here are my rankings:
USB so there is the least amount of lag possible.
Turbo Function
Cheap
USB could be slightly longer, (8.5 feet).
A little light, but that's also preference.
Full button layout with LR shoulders and LR Triggers, plus analogs.
Excellent battery life
CORRECT ABXY button placement that you're used to on NES/SNES games
Decent D-Pad that you can isolate L-R without hitting U-D
Feels very solid and well built. Closest replica to the original SNES controllers
Good Battery life
*Decent D-Pad that you can isolate L-R without hitting U-D
Can be difficult to pair sometimes. I often have to turn them off and then on to get them to pair.
Micro USB port seems fragile
*D-pad is a tiny bit stiff.
Now ... onto controllers I don't like or recommend: Xbox 360 controllers are fine, but the D-pad isn't the greatest. It's somewhat easy to hit UP/DOWN when you're trying to just hit Left or Right. Also, the ABXY is configured opposite to what you're used to on a SNES controller. That may not be a big deal, because you can always open the controller and switch them, or do like most people and just ignore it and remember that it's switched. Except when you pass the controller to a friend, then you have to explain ABXY is switched and they still get confused sometimes. I also don't like that you have to use the dongle to use wireless. PS3 controllers I haven't used, but again, the labeling of the buttons is a con for me.
NOW ... onto the #1 controller that I love. Nobody is freaking talking about this controller, and it is AWESOME. Ladies and gentleman, I present to you, the
This is hands down, by far, the best controller for D-pad games on Retropie. And NOBODY talks about it. I'll do a bigger write up with pictures in it's own post.
Nintendo had official ones from club nintendo that plugged into the wii remote but they're almost as much as an snes classic now :(. Here's a link if you're still interested.
Hori Battle Pad is cheaper and arguably better
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1427340199&sr=8-2&keywords=hori+battle+pad
My favorite mod for the gamecube controller
Haven't seen this posted, stumbled upon it on Amazon while searching for the PDP controllers. It looks a lot better than the PDP ones and I trust Hori a lot more than PDP. It says officially licensed by Nintendo as well.
Also has a Nov 21 release date listed, more evidence for that being the release date for smash bros?
I recommend the hori battle controllers
They're pretty easy to find, and only $25. The pdp ones work too.
If you're dead-set on a nintendo-brand classic controller, get the classic pro, and you'll have to get them through amazon or ebay, it'll run around 25-30 shipping included.
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.
Is it really the naming schemes though? The Wii and WiiU Both had equivalent "Pro" controllers. I think for a lot of people when nintendo says "pro controller" it is assumed to be the non-gimmick controller.
Yep. Totally abandoned on Wii.
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.
There are a few options right now - The Mayflash adapter lets you connect a GCN controller to a Wii remote and have it spoof a Classic Controller. Additionally, the PDP Wired Fight Pad and HORI Battle Pad are Classic Controllers, but modeled after the classic Gamecube controller shape.
There's always the chance that Nintendo will make the GCN adapter work for things other than SSB for Wii U, but I'm not sure I'd hold my breath. Honestly if they just made it work in Wii mode it'd be amazing.
These controllers are abhorrent. Seriously, they are awful. Do yourself a favor and buy the Hori-made controllers. They have a Mario and Luigi one I think is all:
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU
25 bones w/ Prime if you order from Amazon. I found some available for the same price on eBay as well a few weeks ago. Works for Wii/WiiU.
If you want to get an actual replacment for a Gamecube Controller(such as for competitive play), I recommend the Hori Battle Pad.
gdgd, i'd look into the pokken controller as its wired and apparently pro.
god knows if it'll be any good for smash....
Looks like they are using these
This thing:
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1416323010&sr=1-1
pls no laff
HORI is also making a Classic Controller (that actually is styled as the GCC as opposed to this Gamstop one) that uses a turbo button. Only thing is that HORI is trustworthy.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU
Not true, that's the PDP pad. Hori made this one
The original Playstation controller is the most innovative controller in recent history. It was essentially an upgraded SNES controller, notice the d-pad opposite four multi-purpose buttons. The triangle, circle, square, cross are just Sony's answer to Nintendo's A,B,X,Y.
But it was innovative for 2-3 reasons. One, it added handles for your hands. The NES and SNES controllers, while epic, aren't exactly the most comfortable things to hold.
Secondly, it added two more triggers and, later, two analog sticks.
Today, every console has its own brand of the PS1 controller. The 360 controller, while admittedly more comfortable than the PS3 controller, is identical in button layout, just switch the d-pad and left analog stick.
Even the Wii has its own version in the classic controller PRO.
tl;dr Cock Spider
Why not just get one of these instead, in either Mario or Luigi editions?
Made by PDP. Licensed by Nintendo.
Hori has a couple coming out next month licensed by Nintendo too. I think the Hori ones look better.
Hori Mario
Hori Luigi
Basically if you got one wii remote (or wii u pro controller) you would be fine for all Wii U games, including multiplayer ones. Additional controllers may be bought if you are interested in MP wii games, or wii vc.
There are classic controllers for the wii though.
https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0?th=1
Price of this one is absurd but that may be because of how old the wii is.
It's not, it's a PS2 controller. I can see why you'd think it's a Wii Classic Pro controller, but the shoulder buttons on the Classic pro are rounded, whereas the PS2's are much squarer, like these are.
You can also see the telltale slopes along the vertical axis that the PS2 controller has on it's back side, the Classic pro has more of a wave/dip along the horizontal axis.
Do you mean you bought the Wii U Pro Controller? Those aren't compatible with Wii Mode. The Classic Controller, and the Classic Controller Pro are what the games are referring to.
Wii Classic Controller (or the Classic Controller Pro, which I haven't used, but it looks more comfortable.) with one of these adapters. It plugs the classic controller directly in to USB, so no wiimote, bluetooth, glovePIE, etc is required. It even supports 2 controllers at once so you can co-op some Battletoads without having 2 adapters.
Grip handles? There were two models of the classic controller: the Classic Controller and the Classic Controller Pro. Those grips aren't detachable.
I would recommend getting the Japanese one off amazon. It works perfectly on all Wii U's and the price tends to drop more often than the American one. (provided you're in America) It was on there a couple weeks ago for 38 bucks.
Did you get one of the Hori Battle Pads? Those aren't actual GC controllers.
Hey bud,
I, personally, find Shulk to be a tough character to learn. I think you'd benefit from trying out different characters; after all, it's always the same button combinations -- that's the beauty of smash.
Shulk is a slower character; I'd recommend learning with a medium speed character for all around damage and maneuverability. This game is about positioning and predicting the enemy; having a bulky character means you're constantly struggling with your own mobility rather than having time to think about positioning. Once you get a better understanding of the game, you would switch back to Shulk and have a deeper appreciation for his attack power.
Some good examples of medium-speed include Lucina, Mario, Zelda, Falco. They're really well rounded characters. My personal favorites in the game are Fox, Rosalina&Luma, Toon Link, Peach, Charizard, and Lucina; it goes to show that all weight-classes are viable and fun in their own regard. Since you already know the Counter ability, Lucina/Marth would be a decent place to start.
While some say it takes the joy out of it, the best way to get better is playing 1v1, no items, and a basic stage like Final Destination or Battlefield. It cuts out all the random things that happen.
Playing against a single computer and ramping up the difficulty is a good way to learn. You can mirror match, to see how a level 9 computer does certain moves/combos. Maybe you'll see them do something you don't already know, and you can try to mimic it, like "teching." From here, you can figure out which moves have a slower recovery (i.e. every time you use this one ability, you get hit... better not use that ability unless you know you can hit him with it). In time, playing against the same person/computer will improve your game.
As for controls, I know many friends that learned the Smash during Brawl, and play the game just fine using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck; in the end it's about personal preference and how you learned the game. Ideally, a GameCube controller has the perfect layout. To cut your expenses, you should be able to get (http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU) for around $25 if you scope it out, which plugs into a Wii remote and is wired as a Classic Controller. If you don't, the GamePad layout is fine.
Finally, if 1v1, no-items, final destination just isn't fun for you, forget about it! Play to have fun, not to memorize combos. I spent 2-3 hours today with my brother learning Captain Falcon, laughing at trying to hit one-another with his side-air knee attack. Anytime I learned anything new about the character, he'd mimic it and vice versa until we just got better with the character as a whole.
The deal has ended, but Tom and Mabel are still slightly discounted at 10$ each.
CharizardTom NookMabelPokken Controller
Here you go: http://www.amazon.com/Pokken-Tournament-Limited-Controller-Nintendo-u/dp/B019QB4SL0
Would it just make sense to use the Classic Controller Pro? I cant justify buying a controller for a single purpose. I hope it is compatible.
For Skyward Sword the original Wii controller is mandatory, swordplay in that game follows your own movement like sideslash, slashing up etc. As for the rest of these games, get a Classic controller. And yeah, try to find Xenoblade Chronicles first ;) It's spectacular.
Other games I would suggest (playable with a Pro controller):
You can get MH Tri on the Wii, but MH 3 Ultimate is a bit nicer to look at. Equally great though imo.
Awesome game, also for the Wii. Great to play with your daughter, if she likes that kind of games.
Very nice RPG's, very story-driven.
There are more of which I've heard good things like Tales of Syphonia, Arc Rise Fantasia and Muramasa, but I'm not in a position to recommend those cause I haven't played them :)
As for the Wii U, there are only a few big games out at the moment but they're all pretty great (so I hear). A must buy (as was for me at least, alongside MH3U) is Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. Colorful, atmospheric, awesome overall.
Edit: Of course I meant the Classic controller, not the Pro. Pro is for Wii U only. I have both and switched them up.
The official Nintendo ones can be pretty costly. It seems to be going for over $40 on Amazon.

like this one?
You're not confusing the Wii U's Pro Controller that only works with specified Wii U games with a Wii Classic Controller Pro that works with the Wii and some Wii U games, are you?
that was just to browse the dev environment. they used a classic wii controller for that. perhaps it might be possible if there's ever homebrew, otherwise it's not officially supported from what we've heard.
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.
I'm not sure, since it wasn't mine (or hers, a friend of theirs let her borrow it). I think it was this one, though. http://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSAO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417195996&sr=8-1&keywords=yoshi+gamecube+controller
I guess it's technically a Pro controller shaped like a Gamecube controller, but it seemed to work pretty well.
If I were you, I would look into using the fight pad. It reports itself to the Wii as a classic controller pro and so should be compatible with all games that work with the classic controller pro, but it is shaped like a GameCube controller.
I've never used one because I have a white Wii that accepts actual GameCube controllers. However, this is what I would look into if I were in your situation. It is an officially licensed product, so it should be of pretty good quality I would think.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU
Those things exist so I'm not really surprised.
If you require a Gamecube controller soon, and do not already have an adapter, I highly recommend the HORI HORI Battle Pad Turbo. It includes a turbo function, ZL and ZR buttons, as well has a Home button and -/+ buttons. The triggers are different from the regular one, but they are still great. It feels the exact same to hold as a regular GCC. They instead hook up to a Wiimote, and are wireless through that. I almost never tell people to buy third party controllers, but for this scenario, I think they are very amazing for only $25.
They are not hard to find at retailers, but for online they appear to be the second best thing, so get them quick, they are running out fast.
(Also comes in Luigi Version)
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.
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.
1.) Neither, You need to use either Wiimote (normal or plus), Wiimote+Nunchuk, or Wii Classic Controller (or CCPro). I recommend the Wii Classic Controller Pro. However, you can use the Gamepad as a screen for your Wii games.
2.) Seeing as you haven't played a game since the Gamecube era, and having no idea of what type of games you enjoy except SSB, I can barely recommend games, but: Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Sonic: Lost World, The Wonderful 101, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, New Super Mario Bros. U (and Luigi U), maybe Lego City: Undercover or Zombi U, and eventually Mario Kart 8.
3.) Injustice is a good game, though I believe the Wii U version doesn't have all the DLC/doesn't have the 'Ultimate Edition). Black Ops 2 is good if you enjoy Call of Duty post Modern Warfare 4. Neither games are 'elite/hardcore' in their respective genres (Fighting/FPS).
4.) I'd recommend the Wii U Pro Controller for most Wii U games that support it. There are some good Virtual Console titles on the Wii U eshop, like Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Megaman X, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Earthbound for SNES, and more recently Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Metroid Fusion, and Kirby & the Amazing Mirror for GBA, with Golden Sun, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Yoshi's Island coming in the next week.
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.
You should look into emulating it and playing it with a controller.
The Wii classic pro controller is great for those purposes:
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0
You'll need one of these to use it with a PC:
http://www.amazon.com/WII-CLASSIC-CONTROLLER-TO-USB-Nintendo/dp/B003711698
Nope! They're official. The [Classic Controller Pro] is basically classic controller 2.0 and was once produced by Nintendo.
You may be thinking of something like [This].
However, if I could find a CCP that plugs directly into the Wii console like a GCC, I would buy It in a heartbeat. o3o
A Wii Classic Pro controller, to be more precise
Switch pro controller question:
I wasnt the biggest fan of the Wii u pro controller, it always felt a bit big for me. I could use it no problem, but I would much prefer use the Wii pro classic controller.
Image : https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002TLTBN0.01.lg.jpg
Do you think the switch pro controller will please me? Should I get it? Thanks
I love the controls however I have never used the normal Wii controls. I'm not sure if any of you have ever used it but I've used the classic controller from the very beginning.
I personally love the classic controls but have no opinion on the normal wii remote controls. What do you guys think?
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-White-Nintendo/dp/B0037US4IA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1407185292&sr=8-2&keywords=wii+classic+controller+pro
https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-White-Nintendo/dp/B0037US4IA?th=1
You'll have to get a brooks converter as well if you want to use this.
Dualshock 3 (With better DS3) is a good choice.
XBox One and XBox 360 Wired controllers work through USB with appropriate drivers straight from Microsoft.
This adapter with a Wii Classic Pro controller works well too (although Wii classics have gotten expensive.) Also works with this GC controller replica (and this one too.) Both of those are from reputable companies (Hori and PDP respectively.) There is a lot of demand for this stuff since Smash came out, so if this is your choice, I'd wait until after the holidays.
The XBox or DS3 controllers are better for modern games, but I absolutely stand by the Classic/Gamecube controllers for classic games and emulation.
The GamePad comes with the console and you must have one. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. The Pro Controller is optional. In multiplatform games it's generally really helpful because it's more comfortable than the GamePad. So, for example, the game Darksiders: Warmastered Edition - The GamePad has no added functionality. The screen just shows what the TV shows. The Pro Controller works just as well. However in games like ZombiU, the GamePad is used for inventory management and other things. The GamePad is the way to go in that case. The Pro Controller is really good but not useful in every case. For playing Wii games, you will need a Wii Remote and Nunchuk. The Wii U Pro Controller will not work for Wii Games. However, the Wii has its own Pro Controller. It works for many games. You can buy it here. The list of Wii games that support the Pro Controller can be found here.. (The Wikipedia page says Classic Controller, but the Classic Controller and the Pro Controller are the same. The Pro Controller is a more comfortable version of the Classic Controller.)
How does your computer run dolphin? If you haven't tried to run anything yet then you should do that to make sure that your computer is up to snuff for gamecube emulation.
The controller you want to use is this one right? If it is, all you need to do is connect the wiimote to your computer using something like glovepie, and then plug in and set it up that way. I dont use a mac, but this program looks like it would work.
yes. wii shop channel is fully functional on the wii mode. maybe you are unaware, but you can transfer any vc and wiiware titles from a wii console you may have. but if you mention buying a wiimote, then i would assume you dont have a wii.
just remeber a classic controller or a classic controller pro (NOT a pro controller) is needed to play n64 games in wii mode.
Amazon has them new $59.99
Hoping it's legit - They were a limited release a while a go
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004TL1K0A/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
You can get a white one for $40 from Japan. I was also able to order it with free shipping and it came in just a week.
Don't be fooled by the $20 ones from China, though. Always look at reviews, they're most likely fakes. The one I got works excellent, though. Even on an American Wii U.

I would keep an eye on this page for a small price drop. I paid $38 for this one. This is a Japanese model but there is no region lock on the controllers.
Does say it is on the site

No. You'll want to buy a PDP wired controller that plugs into the Wiimote if you want that functionality.
You would need a classic controller to play them. Unfortunately, the only game that the GCN controller is compatible with is SSB4. But if you want a GameCube styled classic controller then you could get one of these

But if you want, there's always the Mayflash adapter, to plug a Gamecube controller into your Wiimote. I have one, works great.
http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-Nintendo-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Wii/dp/B00BS520SG
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.
There are a number of solutions that involve plugging the controller into the Wii Remote so that the Wii U will read them as a Classic Controller.
For GameCube, you've got a couple of options. You can go with this adapter, which lets you use your existing GameCube controller. There's also this controller from Hori, which is an actual Classic Controller in the exact shape of the GameCube controller. I have both, and they both work well, but I prefer the Hori controller.
For N64, there's this adapter. It's the same idea as the GameCube adapter linked above. I haven't used this one myself, so I can't tell you from experience how well it works.
Because all of these options register as Classic Controllers, they have the advantage of being compatible with any Wii or Wii U game that uses it, which is very many of them. For N64 games on the Wii U Virtual Console, you'll be able to adjust the button mapping in the options menu to make sure everything plays just the way you remember it.
I hope this is helpful. Enjoy your Wii U, and welcome to the club!
The Mayflash adapters lag a little too much for my tastes (it's slight, but noticeable)
Personally, I'd just go with this option if you can't find an adapter: http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU
I think it will be hit and miss since Nintendo no longer has them in production. PDP may be a route, but also take a look at the HORI Battlepad as well.
I've heard that the turbo controllers are much better tho, and feel exactly like gamecube controllers
Those PDP controllers are horrible. I couldn't recommend AGAINST them more. Hori's version on the other hand, is very good.
You're talking about these right? That's cool! so they are confirmed to work with N64 games in Wii Mode?
Here you go:
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU/ref=sr_1_1/179-3251289-6471038?ie=UTF8&qid=1425338864&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+battle+pad
It registers as a classic controller, but has the layout of a gamecube controller, so it can be used with a lot more games than the gamecube adaptor.
I haven't personally used it but Hori usually makes top quality accessories.

I've got one of these coming with my copy. It plugs into the wii remote like a classic controller. Actually works as one on other games, too, which beats the compatibility of the adapter. Plus, if I wind up at a friend's house who doesn't have an adapter, I can still play on a GC controller.

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://www.amazon.com/Pokken-Tournament-Limited-Controller-Nintendo-u/dp/B019QB4SL0
definitely the Pokken controller for the Wii U
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.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B019QB4SL0/ref=sr_1_1_twi_gam_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1458404963&sr=8-1&keywords=pokken+pro+pad You can still order it (On U.S. Amazon) they're just waiting for more stock I think. See how it says amazon.com as the seller and it's 25$? It's just the scalpers are showing priority on the main part of the page for some reason.
You might wanna say specifically what area you're talking about in the title. I know for a fact that Amazon UK is currently sold out of the Pokken controllers and there seems to be no where else in the UK to preorder it, which is a shame... Evidence
Also just a warning, the UK Amazon said the same thing up until the release date. Then a bunch of emails go out saying 'sorry we've gotta wait on the supplier for another estimate' or something. So you may not get anything out of Amazon US either.
> I tried to reserve one that the hori pokken controllers REQUIRED for local multiplayer
What? You don't need the pokken gamepad for local multiplayer.
And you can just buy it right now on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Pokken-Tournament-Limited-Controller-Nintendo-u/dp/B019QB4SL0/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1458002177&sr=1-2&keywords=pokken
There is an entire single player campaign which can last you a good few hours (if you rush through it). And there is also modes which let you play locally and with CPU offline. There is also offline training which includes combo training. The game supports Wii U Gamepad, the Pro Controller, and theres a special controller which only works on Pokken: link here. I'd say the game is definitely worth the money, despite not being able to play online. Sorry about your parents though, hope things work out for you soon! :)

This one is just as good and less than half the price. Can't tell any difference between the Nintendo one and this brand.
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.
That's probably the smartest thing to do. Here's a link for the cheapest official one I know of. The box is Japanese but the controller is the same.
Wii Classic Controller Pro with an adapter is the best by far.
Typically no. Especially for larger tournies, wireless controllers pose as a logistical issue. You may be able to get away with one at a local with below 50 attendees, but once you go larger than that, you'll have a hard time finding TOs that'll allow them.
IMO, you're better off with a GameCube Controller:
White GC Controller
Black GC Controller
GC Adapter
(Note: There's no difference between the colors, just take your pick)
---
Course, if for some reason you still want wireless:
Classic Pro Controller
Classic Controller
Wii U Pro Controller
Buy a Japanese Pro Classic Controller on Amazon. It's $25 and works perfectly. Controllers aren't region locked.

Fortunately they used the same plugs as the [Wii Classic controller] (https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-nintendo/dp/B000IN0BSU/ref=pd_sim_63_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=41SKjuShldL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL320_SR268%2C320_&psc=1&refRID=ZXT8DZ4F1ZSZFRVGJR4X) or Wii Classic controller Pro so you can use that instead of gouging your hands.
I usually just play on my Wii U, but I bought an adapter for the wii classic pro controller, it's my favorite controller for all my games. http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1397574145&sr=1-1&keywords=wii+classic+pro+controller
This is the adapter I bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089O4EB0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Most other people prefer the gamecube controller for smash though. See /u/baldbutt 's comment for that though c:
Keep in mind that everything lacking a "Wii" logo in the top center of the controller is a knockoff and is probably garbage.
If you want a Classic Controller, you want to buy one of these two:
Black
White
They're just referring to these:
Classic Controller
Classic Controller Pro
They're just controllers made for the Wii's Virtual Console, but they plugged into the Wii remote itself to make it wireless.
The ones that plug into the wiimotes are called wii classic controller pro. The ones that are wireless/usb are pro controllers
I use this & this for all my gaming needs, both retro and non....
...and the only issue i've ever had with it is that the driver can cause a BSOD if you constantly plug and unplug the device. Also, you have to have the controller plugged in before you plug in the device itself...
...maybe that's just issues with this device, but it's something to keep in mind...
Most people probably won't agree (or didn't even know it was possible), but Wii Classic Controller/Classic Controller Pro with the Mayflash converter is another option. If you get the Classic Controller Pro with Mayflash, it actually comes out a little cheaper than the 360 controller.
That being said, there are some conversion issues which require some other programs to work with. Still, it's a nice controller.
I like the Classic Pro controller.

> Is there a good controller with the layout of a pro but the joystick of a GC?
The Wii Classic Pro controller is the best controller design ever IMO. It has GC joysticks on the bottom, a good D-pad, and the face buttons feel great.
Unfortunately, it's one of the ones that awkwardly plugs into the Wii remote. If it was a standalone like the Wii U Pro controller it would be amazing.
what was said about being interpreted literally, but for the shape as well.
What I think a more realistic version of this would look like is a cell phone, in the shape of a classic controller pro, with 2 thumb pads similar to the 3ds's. I personally think it's an awesome idea.
Add these together then put the zelda pic on it.:

Definitely get that one, it's perfect for MH
I would argue Nintendo made an even better controller than the gamecube that gets overlooked far too often.
Wii Classic Controller Pro
I played XBC1 on the Wii using one of these controllers. It was a pleasant experience.
Buying XBC1 on the WiiU eShop and playing it with the GamePad would be a less expensive option.
Nope it's a bit more complex than that.
List of "Classic" controllers:
You have to either emulate, buy a GameCube controller or buy a Wii Classic Controller.
You can, but in my experience it's a bit of a hassle. I tried it on two computers, and the one that previously had motioninjoy installed on it just refused to work with the Toshiba bluetooth stack as explained here. The other one worked fine and I tried out some emulators. The controller GUI is very barebones, and I suspect the OP of the gbatemp thread has jumped ship as the current version has remained at 1.6 for some time now.
For me personally, I find the Wii Classic Controller Pro and PC adapter to be more comfortable and much more easily configured. No wireless, but I don't mind.
well, it's not COMPLETELY nonmotion but this is as close as I think you'll get.
EDIT: there are some things you cannot do with this remote (like browse wii store, message boards etc) and I really shouldn't have mentioned it not having 'all the facts' I just know it's worked for me and it might work for you.

Wii controller classic.
why does everyone always forget this has existed since Brawl and is a pretty damn good controller too
Make sure you have both a wiimote AND a Wii Classic Controller (this or this)

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.
I don't get it, I see plenty of them at a decent price on both Amazon and the usual import sites:
This is true, I just searched them out. While not in stock on a lot of sites, I found them on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Wii-PRO-controller-shiro-WUP-A-RSWA-nintendo/dp/B009AP2518/
I am not sure why the Japanese accessories are cheaper on Amazon... but I'm glad there's no region-lock on controllers!

Japanese Wii U PRO controller - ~$45
Refurb Wii Motion Plus and Nunchuck -~$25

THIS IS WHAT I GOT, it is very good for the price, the mouse is very goood. It is both mouse and keyboard.
The reply below is misleading, and in fact those controllers do exist and are official Nintendo products. They function as Classic Controllers. Here are some Amazon links:
Hori Battle Pad (I personally like this one better.)
PDP Fight Pad
Just a PDP Fighting Pad variation.
Have you ever used either the Hori Battlepad or similar PDP Fight Pad? If so, can you compare this controller to either of those?
The Hori Gamepad is the best third party controller I've ever used, though still not up to the original. I'd love to know if this is as good as the Hori controller or better before buying one.
just use a wiimote with a gamecube style classic controller and it works great as well. though not as hacktacular as using the GC adapter or some other gamepad.
I have used Wii classic controllers, Mario fight pads, and gamecube controllers for Nintendont. This is my favorite for the gamecube games, because it's wireless due to plugging into a wiimote.
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSJA
If you do want a gamecube controller which works with other games you could get one of these and hori makes a similar controller that you could try out as well.
I have one of the pdp controllers and the only difference between it and an authentic controller is that the c stick is a normal classic controller stick, and that it plugs into a wiimote making it wireless.
This
It's a Classic Controller (Plugs into the nunchuck slot of the WiiMote)
Edit: I'm using two of them myself and it's not bad. Can't compare to a WiiUPRo controller or a GC controller right now. Of note: I always used a Wavebird for Melee/Brawl. (Yeah, super-casual I know.)
ALSO dude by the way I don't know if you saw some of the other responses to my comment, but there are other alternatives that may work better. Somebody just linked me this fightpad that I'd actually never even seen before, which appears to be a duplicate of the gamecube controller. It plugs into your wiimote.
I've never used one so I can't really comment on whether or not this better, but definitely check this out if you haven't already ordered a pro controller :D
You're getting the classic confused with the GameCube controller here. GameCube Controllers with the adapter can only be used for Smash. Classic Controllers (also 3rd party ones like PDP Fight Pad) plug into the bottom of wii remotes (in place of the nunchuck) and can be used with most Wii and Wii U games.
Also, check out the Controller Infographic link on the side bar.
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.
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).
You know how the Nunchucks plug into the Wii Remotes? Well there's also Classic controllers and Gamecube controllers that also plug into the Wii Remotes.
Here's a couple of examples. The Gamecube one is a third party controller but for Mario Kart and Smash it feels great, and it's also compatible with any games that use the Wii U Pro controller.
The Nintendo-made Classic Controller was originally for the Wii, but it still works on the Wii U for most games.
Smash Brothers purists are going to crap all over this advice because they only accept the Official Nintendo GameCube Controller & Adapter as a viable device, but you guys aren't playing tournaments, it's just some kids and family coming over to play Nintendo.
These controllers are much easier for a new player to understand than the Nunchuck/Wii Remote combo, and they are relatively cheap. Certainly much cheaper than the official Nintendo GameCube controllers and adapter, and cheaper (although not as perfect) as the Wii U Pro controller.

Excellent Third-Party solution for the time being.
This could kind of fit your need of a "wireless" "Gamecube" controller HORI Battle Pad for Wii U (Mario Version) with Turbo - Nintendo Wii U by HORI http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ND0E5ZU/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_u3Axub05NJHYZ
I purchased OOT on my Wii U as well and while the Pro Controller does work fine, I struggled with it because I am so familiar with that game on the N64 controller. I purchased this controller that's modeled after the GameCube controller and it has been MUCH better for OOT. You need a Wii Remote to plug it in to.
I think it is better for a couple reasons, namely:
That's just my preference -- I'm new to the Wii U and still more comfortable with the retro games, so I tend to gravitate towards items that are similar to old controllers. The Pro Controllers is certainly fine with OOT, but if you find yourself struggling with the R Stick as the C Buttons maybe check out the controller I recommended.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU
¿Por que no los dos?
Hori's good, and I was pretty happy with the quality of the equivalent Wii / Wii U controller they made a few years back.
​
Though as the other responder suggests, going with official GameCube controllers isn't a bad option, either. 100% accurate and not TOO much more expensive to get four of those plus adapter than four of something else. Extra bonus: rumble. Extra negative: less versatile since it doesn't have all the buttons another Switch game might need.
I don't see this posted anywhere so I thought I'd mention it...

I was too late in pre-ordering the Smash controller bundle from Amazon and I saw this controller recently. The shoulder buttons probably don't click in the same way as the classic GC controller. But, since I have been playing sm4sh 3DS, I've gotten a bit used to grabbing with my left hand instead of my right hand. That extra Z button on the left is really appealing to me right now. Is there anything "off" about this one?
Hori do make some, but these are not the ones. These ones are made by PDP.
These are the Hori ones and they are a shit tonne nicer!

Avoid PDP and get Hori!!! http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU
There's also the Hori fight pad. Same concept, but it looks and feels exactly like a GameCube controller (with the exception of springy shoulder triggers) and works with anything that uses a classic controller.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU/
The best controller as a makeshift Gamecube is this
I have tried it out and it works well.
Edit: I didnt know the gamecube adapter worked! I never bothered to test. But since thats a thing, just use that instead.
I've heard from some that the Hori versions of this solution are made better. Can't speak from experience though. (and they appear to be sold out atm, so theres that.)
Yeah I have one.
Used it to play Brawl once on my Wii U in Wii mode since the USB adapters only work with Sm4sh.
I mainly use it for VC games on Wii U now since it just makes a GC controller detect as a classic controller, I was using one of these which is pretty good but the left stick felt a little twitchy compared to the GC stick
50/50. Choice 1
50/50. Choice 2
I've used the Gamepad, Wii Remote and Nunchuck, tilt controls, and now the Hori Battle Pad. I was really good with tilt controls on Mario Kart Wii but couldn't get into them now. Between Remote/Nunchuck and Gamepad it's really a tossup for me, but the Gamepad can be a little more comfortable/ergonomic. I'm really enjoying the Hori controller, as it is extremely similar to a Gamecube controller, just acts as a classic controller that plugs into the Wiimote.
Non-mobile: Hori Battle Pad
^That's ^why ^I'm ^here, ^I ^don't ^judge ^you. ^PM ^/u/xl0 ^if ^I'm ^causing ^any ^trouble. ^WUT?

Really? Never knew about that. So the controller here: http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Luigi-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E604 Is totally first-party parts?
Isn't Hori releasing a Mario and Luigi themed GC controller that connects I the wiimote? It's supposed to work with all games that support the classic pro remote.
EDIT:
Here they are on Amazon
I use this:
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Luigi-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E604
Just got it in yesterday and it feels GREAT. I haven't gotten my bundle in yet :/ but this is a great substitute for the moment
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.)
Hori makes one that is actually highly reviewed and praised, unlike this PDP one that gets bad reviews. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ND0E604/
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
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:

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
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.

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.

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.
This would work if you already have a Wii Remote. But no, you would only be able to use Nintendo controllers and cheap knock offs... no PC controllers on Wii U
https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Japanese-Version/dp/B002C1AUP0/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1487502376&sr=1-3&keywords=wii+classic+controller
This is the best one I can find. I recently ordered it and it's coming today.
Also Know that Owning a Wii U means you have access to those Wii games as well and the Wii U comes with an HDMI Cable so it's much more useful then a Wii since most new TVs don't have a Composite out or even a Component out.
Also Know that to play any of these games on either Wii or Wii U (which ever one you get) you're gonna need a Wiimote + one of these:
The PDP Fight Pad
The Classic Controller
or The Classic Controller Pro
Target currently has the genuine Nintendo pro controller for $41.99 or you can get a Japanese Import one on [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Controller-Japanese-Version-Black/dp/B009AP23NI/ref=sr_1_5?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1482789261&sr=1-5&keywords=wii+u+pro+controller#customerReviews) for $42.90 (It's just the same as a US one but the instructions are in Japanese).
Alternatively you could get a [Wii classic controller] (https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Japanese-Version/dp/B002C1AUP0/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1482789583&sr=1-3&keywords=wii+classic+controller) and attach it to your wiimote as you do the nunchuk.
Yeah I bought a cheap one that didn't work, so I ordered the official one from Amazon for 27 bucks
Edit: 24 now: https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Japanese-Version/dp/B002C1AUP0/
Always go legit for controllers.

New official Wii Classic Controller Pros go for around $50 online and since they're out of production it's very unlikely you'll find one in a store.
I was talking about this one https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0
thx for the answer tho forgot to say pro controller my bad
The pro controller doesn't use sockets -- unless you mean USB in which case it is a different socket. The classic controller pro does use the Wiimote socket.
hahaa So confusing. Wow.
So would this be the right combination?
Wiimote: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Remote-Plus-Black/dp/B00N4OAELY/ref=pd_sim_63_22?ie=UTF8&dpID=41pDVGqtA6L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=16YNA1JFTG39VX3J6MD2

The Wiimote and Nunchuk say WiiU on the box, but the controller says Wii. Is this right?
Ahhh, I see. What you're referring to as the classic controller others are saying is the pro controller.
Apparently, this is the classic controller and the one you are showing is called the classic controller pro.
Ah, for a second I thought it worked without the Wiimote. If it still has to be plugged in, how is it any different than the Wii Classic Controller Pro? Amazon has them for $15.
Edit: In retrospect, I see you have the Wii Wireless Retro Controller, which does work like I thought, but you linked to the wired version, presumably because the wireless version is out of stock.
This looks like all the fan mock-ups of the controllers....
So either the fans just guessed right, or it's faked... It seems hard to believe they would make it look that way.
Then again, same shape as the Pro, huh? http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1303679077&sr=8-7
>Where is the cheapest I can find a classic controller pro?
Amazon is your best bet.
They aren't being manufactured anymore.
These fight pads work exactly like classic controllers.
>Does sonic all stars racing support a pro controller?
Yup.
>Are there still people online on Injustice Gods Among Us or Mass Effect 3?
Pretty dead compared to any other console, but you'll occassionally get lucky.
> Does Injustice and Mass Effect have any of the dlc released
Some Injustice DLC.
Mass Effect comes with some, but not all is available (particularly the Omega DLC).
>Are all the lego games (lego marvel, batman 2 and 3) lacking dlc on wii u?
Correct, no DLC.
Yeah. It's even advertised that way

My friend has that and loves it. Personally though, a GC controller feels much more awkward to use than a PS2 controller. When I'm emulating an N64 on my computer, I usually use a 360 controller or a Logitech Gamepad (which is styled after the PS2 controller). So on the physical system, the PS2->N64 adapter here seems like it would be much nicer (and more familiar) for me than using a GC controller...
That said, the original Wii Pro controller is a fantastic middle-ground between GC and PS2, better than either one really; I'd love to find an adapter for using one of those instead!
These are the ones I found (theyre german but its just for the pics)

I actually just borrowed melee from a friend! And I've been playing smash bros since the n64 version, but I've never actually owned a nintendo console until now. Now my problem is that I don't have any gamecube controllers. Is the Classic Controller Pro any good for smash bros? I also see some used gamecube controllers for $14, so I might just go with that.
You can use the Wii Classic Controller (https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Nintendo-Standard/dp/B002TLTBN0/?th=1), but that's all I know about the VWii. Even with the adapter, GCN controllers won't work on the VWii. If you want more controller options, see if the game is available on the Wii U EShop. Good luck.
This
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002TLTBN0.01.lg.jpg
It's a "Wii Classic Controller Pro".
Sorry for not being specific enough xD
Do you think it will work?
Go to target and/or gamestop etc and buy the Classic Wiimote Controller. It plugs into the standard wiimote, but give you all that same buttons as the PS3 remote. This is what I use
When you have it, just plug it up to the wiimote, then turn on the Wii Remote control app. It should find it no problem, it will say "Classic Controller detected!" Hit a couple of button and you should see that it's registering.
Edit: Make sure its the official Nintendo Wii Classic controller, it will have the Wii logo on the front. I bought a cheap one off of Amazon and it didn't work at all.
My controller of choice is the Wii Classic Controller Pro. The face buttons can take a bit of getting used to, but the sticks are really nice and have the same octagon gates, it feels good to hold, and the shoulder buttons are worlds better than the GC's shoulder buttons. The GC's shoulder buttons are the sole reason I can never use that controller
edit: this thing https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002TLTBN0.01.lg.jpg Not the wii u pro controller
The "Classic Controller Pro", right? Not the WiiU "Pro Controller"?
Wii U Pro Controller,
Wii Classic Pro Controller, or the
Wii U Smash Wireless GC Controllers
I highly recommend these three if you can't find the adapter and if you want to be comfortable to play SSB then the three that I mention will do but if you want to use the controllers with other games then I highly recommend the Wii U Pro since the controller is mostly compatible with other games.
They may be referring to the Classic Controller Pro-

Unless I'm mistaken, my all-time favourite controller isn't pictured: The Wii Classic Pro
I honestly would have thought it impossible to improve on the SNES controller for playing SNES games, but they managed it.
If you want a good aftermarket controller, get the generic brand Classic Pro Controller. If you want to make sure you get the official Nintendo version, that one's Here..
The Classic Pro is fantastic for what you want to do, since GC controllers are not yet compatible. Personally, at this stage I'd rather just wait two months so I can play using a GC controller, but keep in mind that it has not been announced whether the GC adapter will work in the Wii menu through the Wii U.
There are a number of controller made by Nintendo for both systems.
Wii:
Wiimote + Nunchuk
Wii Classic Controller
Wii Classic Controller Pro
Wii U:
Wii U Gamepad
Wii U Pro Controller
All are made by Nintendo. Just what I could think of off the top of my head, I may be missing some for either system.
On Amazon you can get a Wii Remote and a Wii Classic Controller Pro for about $35. It's a little clunky to have two things connected together, but it works well and the controller is nice.
I'm guessing they wanted to draw the Wii with the Classic Controller.
8bitdo bluetooth controller adapter + Wii Classic Controller Pro
The only way to play. best d-pad I've used out of any controller.
It really depends on how much quality you demand. I for myself was never happy with knockoffs and always bought (and still buy) original controllers, no matter for which platform. Especially for the Wii there are sometimes promotions in local stores, i.e. I got a Wii Classic Controller Pro for 18 € in a local store. That’s pretty decent and I also use it to play games in DeSmuME.
You'll need the Wii Remote anyway (the Wii U's Pro controller doesn't work for Wii games either). This is the controller I was talking about that you'd need for the VC games.
Personally, I'd recommend you get all 3 (Wiimote, Nunchuck, and Classic Controller), but if you can't then the one you get will depend on which games you'd rather play.
How about this? Unless you meant the actual gamecube controller, in which case best bet would be to try off ebay, or go to Amazon and get them used. You could try this used, but idk if it's guaranteed to be a Nintendo brand and not off brand. Regardless, the chance is only about $15.
Careful, those are probably knock-off, and might be bad quality. For the best experience, I'd stick with Nintendo (though used should be fine too, as long as it's first party).

I tried using the Wii classic controller to play brawl the other day so I could get used to the feel of what a 3DS would be like. I was just using the default controls, so X was jump, A was attack and B was special. I need to rebind I think because I just couldn't get my head around jump, I would move my thumb right and just press A to jump.
So someone hits me off a platform and then my guy just goes punch as he glides to his doom. So the tiniest change of keys messed up my play pretty bad.
That same day I tried Super smash flash for the first time, with the awkward as heck U I O P keys. I picked it up almost instantly. What the heck brain. I guess muscle memory was really screwing me over xD
I know this is over $13 but its only by .20 more because there's a sale on the item.

This newer model of the classic controller is a lot easier on the hands. I know my Smash Bros.-playing friends love it to death.
If you were a virgin on both consoles, I would say 3DS just for simplicity sake; but since you already own a 3DS, I think the wii is a good choice.
Just like Dominic4523 said, make sure it is one of the backwards compatible models if you plan to play gamecube games.
Also, you need to know that you will need a lot of stuff to fully enjoy what the wii has to offer.
You need a wiimote + nunchuck for most wii games. Some will only need the wiimote, but most will need you to have both, for every player too.
If you plan to play gamecube games, you'll need a gamecube controller and a gamecube memory card to save your progress. Those games are not playable with the wiimote.
Last, if you plan to get virtual console games, you'll need a classic controller model 1 or model 2; and also, the wii shop channel will not be selling points starting next Monday March 26th, so you'll have to check the store asap for potential purchases.
If after knowing all that you still want a wii, go for it, but it is definitely way easier to just got a new 3DS.
Are you talking about the Wiimote + nunchuk, specifically?
Wii also supported Gamecube controllers and the Classic Controllers
https://www.amazon.com/Club-Nintendo-Super-Famicom-Classic-Controller/dp/B004TL1K0A
IIRC they were only made for Club Nintendo Platinum members in Japan?

I use this one to play mario maker on my wiiu and I love it, I have never had a problem with it.
It's going to be cool using the SNES controllers on the NES Classic. I do feel bad for the people who dropped $70+ on the Club Nintendo Super Famicom controller.

Looks like they're using similar (slightly smaller) packaging as the Japanese exclusive Nintendo Club controller.
There was even an official SNES controller that was available as part of club nintendo: https://www.amazon.com/Club-Nintendo-Super-Famicom-Classic-Controller/dp/B004TL1K0A/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1503322075&sr=1-1&keywords=snes+wii It's kind of expensive now, but it certainly was possible to use real controllers.
And right now on my WiiU I'm able to play NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, and WiiU games with homebrew. You can also head to eBay to pick up a SNES controller that plugs into Wii remotes (or Amazon, apparently... wow) to play SNES games the way they were meant to be played. It's a golden age.
It fits the controllers fine. I have the club nintendo super famicom wii controller (https://www.amazon.com/Club-Nintendo-Super-Famicom-Classic-Controller/dp/B004TL1K0A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1505507544&sr=8-1&keywords=club+nintendo+snes+controller) and use it as a second controller for my nes classic and it fits in the case. The foam sort of molds around the sides of the controller since it is slightly wider than an nes controller. I would imagine the snes would fit as well though the cutout may not be exactly perfect. That foam kind of molds around stuff though so it would probably work fine if they don't release a new one and the snes classic is the same size or slightly larger. If it was smaller it might flop around but I doubt it is smaller.

You should get yourself the Wii u controller along with a new game :D. You need it rightnow because you have an itch to play and its so much better when you have a new shiny controller in your hand. So much better game play.
i need this right now because look at that color! Its amazing! My nails need this to shine and stand out in the crowd.

Amazon has the Japanese ones and from what I've read they're identical to NA controllers after you open the box.
Wii U PRO controller (shiro) (WUP-A-RSWA) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009AP2518/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_GdJhyb8JF1GNQ
Can someone answer for me if the Wii-U Pro controller can be used in bowser mode? Does it use the motion controls where you'll NEED a wii mote?
I have 2 Wii motes and a pro (http://www.amazon.com/Wii-PRO-controller-shiro-WUP-A-RSWA-nintendo/dp/B009AP2518/ref=zg_bs_1232371011_4) for anyone that hasn't seen it). I want to know if I need to shell out another $45 to play this with my friends (I've spend more on controllers between the PS4 and Wii U lately than I have on games. :)
Amazon offers the Japanese-packaged version of the controller (completely compatible with non-Japanese systems) for $39.50, which is the cheapest I've seen. Link.
I usually share the same reservations but this seems to check out as legit at least according to the reviews and questions. Just the Japanese packaging.

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!

Would that be a good mouse/keyboard combo?
If someone can recommend me a cheap one otherwise that'd be good too :)
Hey... there's always this: http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-Nintendo-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Wii/dp/B00BS520SG
and the hori pads they run as classic controller pro controllers then which is compatible with N64.
Don't know if this helps you, but they have a Yoshi "classic controller" shaped like a GCN one that you may want to check out.
I think Toys R Us had these for a bit cheaper, but linked it to give you an idea.
You can get the third party Pro Controllers that came out for Smash Bros pretty easily:

Good to know!
The Yoshi pad is on for $20 right now!
Thanks for the answer! I will be picking this game up. Now to decide if I use my club nintendo points or try and figure out how to add wii points. I don't have a classic controller, do you think this will work?
Since I couldnt find an adapter I bought this Wii U Fight Pad Controller. It's decent.
I'm guessing this is similar to the PDP Wired Fight Pad (which comes in many character flavours).
Which, like the classic pro controller, is illegal at most tournaments because it relies on the wiimote for power which can cause accidental re-connects.
It's quite sad, as these are my favourite controllers. They're nearly identical to the original GC ones I grew up with, but have the addition of another z-button [like the new pro] and more clickey, which I prefer.
But I have since moved to the new Smash GC controllers + Adapter combo because of this. At least I don't need batteries now.
At the end of the day, an ordinay GC controller is fine to Bidou with. As discussed here.
edit: a review if interested.
Well, actually ended getting this today for 23 bucks. And yes, I got Peach's, it was the only one they got. But if I have to lose my dignity to play Smash with a sorta-Gamecube controller, so be it.
no. Fight pads feel horrible on smash. Also instead of using the adapters I've been using these and they feel near perfect:
http://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSCC/ref=pd_sim_vg_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0D1MMM7EASV4YDKZY40Y
They feel just like the gamecube controller, but function as classic controllers
Nintendo has a series of Fight pads that are like gamecube controllers that plug into the nunchuck slot
They're called "[Wired Fight Pads] (https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSJA)", apparently.
Do you know if I can play gamecube game with this controller and nintendont ?
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSJA
I'm honestly pretty content with the Wii U Fight Pad (not a referral link). The differences in feel are pretty minor and it's a nice responsive controller that doesn't require any new hardware.
But what about these?
They have the +/- and home buttons as well as 4 shoulder buttons and different sticks... ?
http://www.amazon.de/Wii-Gamecube-Controller-Mario-Design/dp/B00LSBNSJA/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1412845713&sr=1-1&keywords=wii+u+gamecube+Controller
All in all, I can't see why this particular example wouldn't work like a Wii U Pro.
If it's still no good, then that's really disappointing.
http://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSJA
It's not really meant to be a recreation of the gamecube controller, it's moreso just the same shape and button layout. The sticks are more like the classic controller's. I haven't personally used one of these, but I think they look pretty nice. One of the common complaints about the gamecube controller is that the c-stick is so different from the main analogue stick, and this fixes that.
He's talking about about this:

It's a classic controller, not a GC controller. It just looks like a GC controller. You don't need the GC Controller adapter, you just need a Wiimote to plug it into.
He might mean the hori battle pad or the pdp fight pad
A remade verion of the game will never happen on the Wii U.. but there is an option for you ;)
Please note though: Because this is a Wii VC title you can only play with controllers made for the regular Wii, so you'll need a Wii Classic (Pro = black one) controller like this to be able to play the game.
These controllers can be plugged into the Wii mote.
Recently Nintendo also released GameCube controllers that can be connected to the Wii-mote. They are officially licenced products so they will work :)
You cannot use gamecube controllers, however you can plug PDP fightpads into your wii-mote and use those, they feel almost identical http://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSJA
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

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.
no one has them yet
Also, you may want to consider these, as they're still usable as WiiU pro controllers. As far as I know there are no other controllers like this.

You could get a HORI Battle Pad. I have one of my own, and I love it.
Maybe you were thinking of these or these?
I seriously doubt it. Maybe look for one of these?
Or this one: http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU/
Oh yeah I also have these coming as well:
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415326873&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+smash
They seem to be the most accurate reproduction of the original.
Pro controller works for everything that the gamepad does. Dude, trust /u/nuclearOptimist and DrDroop on this: the PDP pad sucks.
If you absolutely have to get a pad on the cheap then get the HORI ones. http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU
Well you can always get this to use a gamecube controller. It will work with Wii U games that support the classic controller and classic controller pro, as well as Wii games that support the classic controller and classic controller pro.
There are also the Hori controllers licensed by Nintendo (?)
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1414290073&sr=1-1&keywords=hori+gamecube+controller
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU If this is what you are talking about, Does it function as a pro controller? or does it plug into a wii mote?
He means those.
They act as classic controllers that plug into wiimotes.
If you already have 4 wii remotes, just get 2 more nunchucks. They're the most versatile remote that Nintendo has out. The gamecube controllers will only work for Smash so beware. You might want to pick up one or two of these if you really like Smash, but if you want the most playability for the least money, get the nunchucks.
Link is broken.
Actually, just googled it based on the name in the link. Found it here. It looks identical to the GameCube controller! Thanks.
I was pretty mad that I couldn't get a GameCube adapter, but holy shit I bought a HORI Battle Pad and fell in love. If you want a Wireless experience with a GameCube controller without forking over big bucks on a WaveBird, or, like me, couldn't find a cheap adapter, this controller is the one for you.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
I haven't tried it myself, but the HORI battle pad may be worth looking into. It's a classic controller (plugs into wiimote) shaped like a GC controller.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419548256&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+wii+u
Classic Controller Pros are going to be very hard to find because they aren't produced anymore. If you can't find one, the Hori Pad is also an option since that plugs into Wiimotes as well.
If you don't mind having to connect it to a wiimote, I'd suggest a Hori Battlepad. I picked one up last week and it works great. The best part is that you can use it with the Wiiv. I still plan on getting the adapter since I have 4 GC controllers from back in the day, but this definitely will help until they get stocked.
Havent ever used them.
Here are some reviews on amazon
I know this might not be what you were hoping, but have you considered getting one of the pads in the GameCube layout?
Specifically the HORI Battle Pad for Wii U?
It's like PDP's pads that are GameCube layout, but has digital buttons for the Triggers (L & R) and the Shoulder buttons (ZL & ZR) are similar to a PlayStation's R1 and L1 (Soft press and not hard click).
I ordered both the Mario and Luigi one off Amazon and I personally love them and use them for a lot of my Wii and Wii U games that support the Classic controller.
Cons from my use during the week:
Other than that it's essentially the same as a Gamecube with a few extras.
EDIT: Forgot to add Walmart has them for cheapest ATM. ($25 MSRP) Amazon's has it a bit above MSRP due to demand since Nintendo underestimated the Adaptors and Amazon warehouses are sold out.
I use the gamepad. I have large hands and it fits my playstyle with Yoshi. My hands just wrap around the big thing, and it feels comfortable. It's also quite easy for me to dash dash/perfect pivot dance with it too.
I reverse grab and shield on my back buttons, and change my Y to grab as well. I also have a Character arrangements, like Diddy/Swordsman/Projectile countersets.
When I'm not using the gamepad I use the Hori Battle Pad for Wii U. I like it and it is quite responsive.
Got the exact same feel, only the R and L buttons are now "normal buttons" instead of the deep triggers GameCube has, I got myself this and I love it! http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU
I have the Mario and Luigi versions of the HORI battle pad controller, and they feel surprisingly similar to a gamecube controller, if a little light.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU
Don't get the PDP fight pad. Those controllers aren't really made well. Get the HORI Battle Pad. This is what I used when I played Xenoblade Chronicles. The controller connects to your Wiimote like the classic controller does. That and it's made by HORI. They are THE third party accessory makers for Nintendo due to their high quality products.
Maybe a Hori Battle Pad?
Worst case scenario, there's this out there. Plays like a GC controller but is recognized by the hardware as a classic controller. Less elegant and more expensive than software, though.
not particularly, tbh. Try a hori battle pad if you can get your hands on one
They're usually on amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/HORI-Battle-Turbo-Mario-Version/dp/B00ND0E5ZU
The Hori Battle Pad may work, it plugs into the wiimote its self.. Provided you all have enough wiimotes to go around at least.
The Hori battle pad controllers look to be better made then the PDP and only need to be plugged into a Wii Mote for it to work.

Hello. I have this controller that is also from HORI and the turbo button basically very quickly presses a button over and over again when you just hold it.
For example, I turn on turbo and hold the A button on the controller and the controller registers the A button over and over again. So I guess if there was a part in a game where I had to mash A to get out of something I could just turn on turbo and hold the A button and let it mash the button for me. I personally never use the turbo feature. Basically auto rapid fire.
It's called turbo because it registers the pressed button at "turbo" speeds, I guess.
It wasn't in the original trailer because the controller you have linked is from HORI, and they make third party accessories. All the accessories leaked today are from HORI and not from Nintendo, so of course this controller wouldn't be in the trailer. The controller in the trailer was an official controller from Nintendo where this one that you have linked is a third party one made by HORI.
You’re talking about these ones? Those are developed by Nintendo.
Then there are some Nintendo licensed third party controllers. Which look a lot like a GC controller.
As pigcheddars said, the Wii U Gamecube controller is only usable in Smash but you can use the Hori Battle Pad as a Wii Pro Controller.
Yeah, that was exactly the controller I was thinking about. I got the Luigi one for the Wii U. The A button just felt so clicky and cheap, which entirely ruined it for me. But this controller intrigues me since it's wireless and has all the buttons a pro controller has.
Keep in mind some alternatives exist. For example, the HORI Battle Pad plugs into a Wiimote and is similar to the GC controller. It can give you a GC feel without an adapter, with less wires strewn everywhere, and with a nice character-based paint job.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Luigi-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E604/
I got myself two of these, recently:
http://www.amazon.ca/HORI-Battle-Turbo-Luigi-Version/dp/B00ND0E604/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1417636426&sr=8-10&keywords=gamecube+controller
It's Gamecube controller-shaped Wii classic controller that plugs into Wii remotes. Great substitute for the gamecube adapter for Smash. I'm loving them so far.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Luigi-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E604/ref=pd_sim_sbs_vg_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1ZY1WQ0J2YHSDFV4Z3NB
best controller for analog play + mayflash adapter
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ND0E604/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00ND0E604&linkCode=as2&tag=nellyplayz-20&linkId=ZMHIUMXJQBOESZXJ
This, coupled with a Wiimote, which is Bluetooth and is possible to use on a pc, would be your best solution. Hori is known for quality third-party peripherals.
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?
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
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.
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?
>Has nintendo ever been big on arcade sticks though?
No. By the time at home arcade sticks were a thing tournaments all around had a ps2 set standard (except for Melee brackets) due to the popularity of the console and the fact that more fighters came out for it. In turn, madcatz, mayflash, etc. didn't really produce fightsticks for the Gamecube.
This is really the first time Nintendo has had any sort of involvement with traditional fighting games, and I feel they just don't get the importance of fightsticks to certain players. And even after all the complaints they're releasing the 'HORI Pokken Tournament Pro Pad', aka the same fucking controller. It sort of seems they don't want the game to do well (like some other games they've made), but they obviously had to pay some bills to get Pokken, a game coming out 3 months prior with literally no player base or fan base, into EVO above many other games with guaranteed players/viewers.
right here!
Believe it or not, the official Pokken Tournament controller is really really nice for a classic SNES controller feel. Best of all, no pesky analog stick to get in the way that many modern controllers have. I absolutely love the soft d-pad on it too. And if you're running modern Windows (especially 10), it will recognize the controller without much hassle.
I'm Happy with my Pokken controller: https://www.amazon.com/Pokken-Tournament-Limited-Controller-Nintendo-u/dp/B019QB4SL0
nope lol
I'm not sure we're looking at the same thing, or maybe this just became available again since you posted that, but yo:

16 pounds. Kinda high but go go. That ships via Amazon Global, but it's still shipped and sold by Amazon, from one of their US warehouses, with a delivery guarantee. Have you tried calling around some local game stores?
Looks like this one.
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.
Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, and Stardew Valley. I don't think you need a pro controller for these. I would suggest the pro controller for games that require more subtle input. Pick one up for doom or your first FPS that isn't using Gyro aiming; I also wouldn't play Dark Souls without a pro controller.
If you want to play any of the SNK fighting games or street fighter on switch I would forgot the pro controller and suggest one of two option.

I purchased both and I have to tell you the fight stick wins hands down, even for Pokken. However the pokken fight pad is supreme for sonic mania & wonder-boy in monster world, and any 2D plat-former with limited button commands.
Both controllers will need to be used when the switch is docked. I would personally rate the Hori gamepad with an 9/10 (10/10 if it had triggers on the side) and the Hori fight stick a 9/10 (upgrade to proper sawa buttons like the madcats sfv controller and I would change this to 11/10 any day)
It's the controller specially made for Pokken, but compatible with Wii U. It's very similar to the control that they use in the arcade versions of the game.

There is a HW repair (solder) by cluster. Seek it in this sub or on his site. The issue with 3d party lies in the signal quality. So you have to solder a diod if I recall correctly.
I think you can go for hori controllers. They work great with the nes mini unmodded. Check youtube.

those rock on the Nes mini.
Doubt no more.
http://www.amazon.com/Tournament-Limited-Edition-Controller-Nintendo-u/dp/B019QB4SL0
Well, if you want to compete in an arcade setting ever, you'll need to get used to this.
Which can be bought for the Wii U here.
Actually this
Pokken tournament pad probably.
looks like a "gamestop brand" version of the wii's classic controller pro

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.
Sidenote - Nice, cheap peripherals (I've used for 2 years now)

I managed to snag mine early, but another thing I looked into was the PDP Wii U version of the Gamecube controller. To clarify, it's a Wii U Controller done in the style of a Gamecube controller that wires into a WiiMote much like a classic controller for the Wii. I don't know how it performs and would like to think its a good replacement, and if I manage to get a test run on it and am satisfied might look into getting one as a 3rd Wii U Controller.
Does anyone have any experience with the PDP Controller, actually?
I like these glossier ones better
Hasn't been released yet. Amazon says March 20th.

HORI has been making peripherals for Nintendo consoles since the famicom (they had the first turbo controllers I believe). They're releasing a GC style controller soonish for ~25$ on Amazon.
Use a Battle Pad. It's a
Pro ControllerClassic Controller with the same layout as the Gamecube Controller. It looks awesome and I'm getting one. (I promise I'm not a paid shill.)EDIT: /u/piford brought to my attention that this is actually a Classic Controller. Whoops.
Do yourself a favor and pick up one of these:

You'll thank me later: it's the only controller properly suited for playing Xenoblade 1
I'm pretty sure that's what it does when the controller is unsupported. I'm almost certain the n64 games only work with the classic controller pro , not the plain classic controller. But the pro seems to be quite hard to find, at least around where I live.
Not quite sure where to buy it from. I see this one amazon but idk if it works in the US.
This is what I plan on using. http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU
When I saw it at GS, it was clear to me that it wasn't a Wii U Pro Controller, but an all-in-one Classic Controller that didn't require you to tether to a Wiimote.
I upvoted you because I guess a lot of people must be confused by this, but I never for a moment thought this was supposed to be a Wii U Pro Controller.
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0
It's been a "Pro" controller for the Wii much longer than it has for the Wii U.
I don't think it's misleading at all. Look at the box. It clearly states:
And it also has bluetooth and works with Android.
It also clearly states on their website:

Pfft hardly. Get a real controller.
you can always buy one of these: http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Mario-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E5ZU
They are similar to the gamecube pad, but plug into a wii remote. Or buy a third party gamecube adapter, or hunt for an official adapter.
Or just play SSB4 with a different control scheme :-)
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.
I just found one, no it isn't
The picture you showed me was just a
fan's imaginationplaceholder image of what one could look like.So does anyone know for sure if the old controllers work?
