As of right now, it's just the Mayflash Wii U/PC adapter, and it currently only supports one controller (all four ports act as P1), but it's a start!
I use the wii u pro controller as well as the wii u gamepad and it has a similar button layout. It seem to work out just fine for me and I find it less awkward then the playstation layout on the dual shock controllers.
You could use a Wii U Pro Controller!
Not confirmed, this is my personal speculation
yes but you have to get the adapter
Just tried using the mayflash gamecube adapter, it works if you use pc mode! There isn't any noticeable delay.
Link to adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE?th=1
EDIT: You need to have the black cable plugged into the dock (The white one isn't needed for only 1 controller, don't know about multiple controllers) and have your controller in the player 2 port.
EDIT 2: Thanks to /u/IcyAthene we know that the C-stick is not properly mapped and the analog stick is basically a DPad and that multiple controllers behave as one. I only tested it in mario kart so i didn't realize it :(
It's an Amiibo that came out along with the game
Amazon UK, US
Nintendo UK, can't find a US link
TL;DR: eSports
r/smashbros is buzzing over rumors of a smash bros wii u port and Smash Bros Melee on the rumored GameCube Virtual Console. They are hopeful that the Wii U gamecube adapter will work with these titles on Switch, or that a similar device will be made for Switch. The dock has the USB ports to use with this. The smash community works (for the most part) on the basis of people bringing their TV and console, and (in the wii u community) their GC adapter, to events to set-up. The bag has space for the dock which would brought to these events. Excluding the GC adapter, and that smash is all players on a single large screen, look at the end of the original Switch video for a similar scenario.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B00RSXRLUE If you don’t want to wait until 2019 to play smash with GCC you can get this adapter, which works just as well as the official Nintendo one, and even works for pc. I’ve owned it for almost 2 years now and haven’t had a single issue
Same here, haven't tested mine on switch, but it is in fact Mayflash and works perfectly on Wii U.
(anyone reading this in the UK for the record, I live in the US, but the picture is the same and the company is also the same. Here's the link to the US one that I currently own)
>f. I heard a brief mention on a reddit thread about game cube controllers working with the switch? Is this accurate? I happen to have a cube in another room with 3 controllers. They are wired of course.
OP, it looks like your other questions were answered, but for this one here's what you need to know. The Switch dock has a USB port that will recognize various headsets/controllers. Not sure what all will work but one of the accessories that does is the wired Gamecube controller adapter that Nintendo made for Wii U. You just need to get one of these to use your old ones:
https://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI
If you have 7 friendsjust kidding no one has, you would need an extra $1680 for 7 3DS + Sm3D4sh to enjoy 'ya stuff, totalling $3226!Oh yeah don't forget if all eight of you want an amiibo of each, you will need a total of $7958!
But to prevent arguing who has the Wii U let's buy 7 wii u's plus a GameCube Controller adaptor for $20 each.
And of course you would need 7 games of $60
Putting you at a grand total of $10618 That's a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan*
This is, of course without the unknown price off the "new" 3DS and 3DS amiibo adaptor.
more info for /u/chickengrande:
Melee and Brawl (and mods for both) are emulated using [Dolphin] (https://dolphin-emu.org/), an open-source emulator that's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. If your computer can run a modern game at a good fps, then it can most likely emulate smash.
For a controller, I'd recommend using a gamecube controller and a [gamecube->USB adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=pd_sim_63_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=41pvJ9j5gAL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0VXR6Z5Q3FN9KQJM0WW5). Of course, if you're just trying it out, you could use a PS4/xbox controller or even keyboard&mouse.
As for getting the game itself, the proper, legal way to do it is to buy the game disc and rip the ISO (the game file) using a modified wii. That said, if you use your creativity, it's not hard to find the files online (no asking for links!).
I'm assuming that your controller already connects just fine to your pc. If you need an adapter, i'd recommend the [mayflash] (https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE)
Once that's done, you should follow the guide on anther's ladder to properly set up melee for online practice. Instead of the basic 5.0 Dolphin, anther's requires 5.9 Faster Melee build of dolphin. Anyway the guide can be found here: https://www.smashladder.com/guides/view/272o/melee/how-to-play-melee-online-netplay-guide-faster-melee-proj
As for online resources, ssbm tutorials has great videos detailing character specific tech (falco lasers, fox practice drills, marth chaingrab guide, etc.), universal tech (wavedashing, dashdancing, directional influence), and just general pieces of advice to newcomers.
I'd also recommend Uncle Punch training mode. This is a mod of melee's event mode designed to help practice universal tech such as L cancelling, smash di, or ledgedashing.
http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE
Nintendo Wii U Pro
If you're super lucky, and near a Walmart (in the US), most stores have these on clearance for $12. If you can't find one, it's worth every penny. These controllers are discontinued and will be only going up in price. Search your zipcode here
Note: The Switch Pro is just as glorious and actually feels better in your hand. It's a bit smaller too and will work with any Xbox One / PS4 controller case. Unfortunately, at $70, I just can't recommend the controller unless it pulls double-duty with the RetroPie and Nintendo Switch.
Edit: After further testing with the Switch Pro, there's a few bugs involving the left stick. It works fine upon first pairing, anytime after ... not so great.
Dolphin is free. Go to smashladder.com and follow their guide for downloading Faster Melee's most recent version. Faster Melee is a version of Dolphin that runs smoother for online play, and is pretty much required for playing people online using smashladder.
You're gonna need to download an ISO file of melee, which is basically the game ripped from the disc. You can try googling it and it shouldnt be too hard. Careful of sketch websites.
If you've been watching for a while you might know the basic terminology already but the SSBMTutorials youtube channel has a lot of good info about the tech. Basic things like L cancelling and Wavedashing can be a little awkward to understand without being shown.
https://youtube.com/channel/UC46ZTid4t2ctB6osM0WTiJA
It's a little tough to get rolling if you don't have a friend to play with all the time that's at your level, but the "Friendlies" tab in smashladder should work ok.
You're gonna need a gamecube adapter. You can buy the official nintendo one, or you can get the Mayflash 4 port. They're basically identical.
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=asc_df_B00RSXRLUE/?linkCode=df0&hvadid=198123773248&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4592356619243608365&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032109&hvtargid=aud-801657747996:pla-385181353377&psc=1
Well you still can't get a Ness in US packaging off the shelf or for msrp, whereas Lucas you can get for less than the cost of a rotisserie chicken
Donkey Kong, Samus, and Kirby pop up pre owned on gamestop every few times a week and it gets posted here and they get a sold out tag as fast as wave 4 preorders.
For more than that just look at the newly named 'obtainabilty' chart.
Also the only people who were right in thinking amiibo would be worth more than 12.99 was toys r us.
This is not true.
There isn't any best controller as it is pure preference, the older controllers generally have a stickbox that feels less resistant than the newer ones.
The coating on the new WiiU controllers is different aswell.
Also the official WiiU adapter has a great 3rd party equivalent from mayflash found here.
You should just order it from Amazon, looks like the controller is on sale right now and doesn't the WiiU use HDMI?
Netplay is amazing now, and fairly easy to set up. Only thing you really need is a USB-GCC adapter which you can get for less than $20
I have the Mayflash one and it works excellent. It was too difficult to find an official one back in the Wii U days. I'm assuming it works for Switch too. No issues whatsoever personally and it has nearly 5 stars on Amazon.
Edit:
Figured I should clarify my comments here:
I do not own a Switch yet (plan to get one Black Friday), but I use it all the time on my Wii U and it works flawlessly. Based on reviews, it looks like it works flawlessly on the Switch as well. I can't imagine it would be any different.
I don't have a wii u. Is there a difference in performance to this one on Amazon for $45 (fulfilled by AMZN).

OP used the official Wii U adapter, which is bloody expensive. I'd recommend the Mayflash adapter instead, which can behave either as the official adapter or can rewrite the inputs to a standard controller for use in things that aren't Dolphin.
If you can find the official Gamecube adapter and don't decide to flip it on ebay for 5x the MSRP, there's that. It needs a special driver but that's not a big deal.
A better choice might be the recently re-released Mayflash GC adapter. This is it here. There are other models but this is the newest and best third-party one.
People shouldn't buy that particular adapter anymore. It's old, has input delay, and has bad drivers on top of it. Mayflash makes a better version these days that's compatible with both Smash 4 and native input in Dolphin.

Nah, it's sold on it's own for $20.
They already are releasing it separately.
edit:

Adapter
Intel 530 HD will run melee at any resolution under 1080p. This one will probably work or this ebay filter. Any intel gen 6 laptop processor will work for the most part. You only need a graphics card that has a passmark score of about that can match or beat this if you want to run Project M a much more graphically intensive game on 2 monitors.

Other places to look:
Newegg
Amazon
PSA: Mayflash makes a clone adapter that works on Wii U, PC, and Switch just as perfectly as the official one and can be found easily on Amazon for under $20. https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE
EDIT SECONDARY PSA: 8BitDo also makes a wireless 1-port adapter for switch and PC that allows you to connect a single controller to your Switch wirelessly, in tabletop, handheld, or docked mode. https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Adapter-Nintendo-GameCube-Classic-Controllers/dp/B07JLF9PVG
I also remember that this Mayflash adapter can be used to play Nintendo Switch games with the GameCube controller. Apparently it's more compatible with that system than the official Wii U GameCube Adapter, but that was from a few months ago so I don't know how compatible it is now. The adapter is also $18.
I think for now, people shouldn't be worried. Amazon shipping is pretty solid. If you're worried about your shipments not getting sent out yet, it might be because you're in an area closer to a fulfillment center, where they can afford to hold off on your shipment, and instead focus on getting out the packages that are farther away. I wouldn't even worry if by midnight tonight they're not shipped yet. (An example: I recently ordered something for next day shipment. I live in the Los Angeles area and we have a fulfillment center in a city over. The package didn't actually ship out until 1:30PM and made it to me by the 9PM deadline (only 8 hours!))
Also, it also seems like all Vlad did was look up the Adapter on the actual Amazon.com website (not like any employee backend or something-- he says, "I looked on the site..."), where it is indeed out of stock. BUT It's probably listed as out of stock because they've all been pre-ordered (I mean, it's not like they were giving them out before release day, so how could they otherwise run out? The other possibility is that they never had them at all... which is pretty unlikely). I'd say if you got your preorder in before they went out of stock, you're probably fine.
I just wanted to say this before people cancel their orders when it might not be necessary to. I'm ready to eat crow if wrong, but yeah. Relax.
https://www.smashladder.com
There's a bunch of guides and stuff as soon as you first enter the site.
>I want to do anther's ladder but I don't know exactly what it is
It's a match-making website where you can find matches, and chat with people in real time. The matches can be anything from Bo3 to Bo5 'ranked' ladder matches, to endless friendlies, to doubles matches. Basically, anything you could do at your local tourney, you can do on Anther's. (except money matchs afaik)
>Can I access it on my wii?
I mean.. maybe? You'd want to use your computer/mobile device if possible.
>Do I have to use an emulator on my laptop?
For Project M, most likely. You'd be hard pressed to find other people that still use the Wiimfi servers and play on their Wiis. The official way to play PM on Anther's is Dolphin Emulator, and there are plenty of guides to set it up, as well as optimize it if you have a slower computer.
>Can my laptop even run project m smoothly?
Well I play it on my laptop, and it runs fine (I even record while playing most of the time). Most modern computers can run it pretty well. It really depends on your specs though. You could get a lot of advice about that, but nothing beats just trying it out on your own and seeing if it works or not.
>If it is on my pc, than how am I supposed to use a gamecube controller?
There are multiple ways to get a Gamecube controller working on a computer, but the easiest/best ways are the official WiiU adapter or the Mayflash 4 Port adapter. They're both the best you can get in terms of lag reduction, but the mayflash is cheaper.
>Either way, how much lag is usually on it? I don't want to throw my timing off.
That really depends on your connection, your opponent's connection, and your own computer. It's usually anywhere between 10ms and 100ms of lag. I usually don't even play with people if the ping is over 60ms. (EC privilege lol) Many top players use netplay for a variety of reasons. Yes, the timing can throw you off if you're jumping from netplay to a tournament set, but if you take the time to adjust properly, then it really shouldn't be a problem. The MU experience and massive variety of playstyles you'll learn is something that Smashers have only dreamed of until recently.
I highly recommend netplay if you can get it working. Almost everyone has troubles setting it up at first, including myself, so don't get upset if it takes a couple days to get it working. I've probably clocked in over 1000-2000 hours on Netplay. It's great!
Hope this helps. Good luck!
if you want to play on your computer, I'll recommend the most recent dolphin netplay build, that and complete instructions can be found here.
Of course, you will need a ROM of melee which you should definitely obtain legally and not through a download of it somewhere on the internet.
You will need a controller. I recommend looking at your nearest thrift store, or joining the facebook group for your local melee scene and asking if anyone would be willing to sell one to you. Or you can buy a new smash 4 controller.. Also you'll need an adapter to play on your computer, the mayflash 4 port is the best and cheapest option, but if you already have a wii u with gamecube adapter you can make that work too. Either way follow this guide to set it up. (make sure it's on wii u mode if you end up with the mayflash adapter)
All this being said, this is not the best way to play melee. The best way will always be to play on a wii or gamecube with a CRT TV (long story short, they have way less lag than HD TVs). If you really end up getting into melee you'll end up going this route eventually anyways, so for that I'd recomend agin your local scene for a gamecube/wii and a copy of melee, though copys of melee can be a bit expensive. For a CRT, check craigslist in your area, or just like streetcorners, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding one. Worst case, your local thrift store will probably only overcharge you a little for a decent CRT.
If you don't want to deal with buying a copy of melee. Then you can mod your wii to play a rom of melee. I recommend the 20xx hack pack that is made for melee training. It has a bunch of stuff you can learn to use, but you can also just play regular games on it, so it's good for everything outside of serious tournament use. Here's the official step by step guide for getting 20xx onto your wii.
Outside of that I think your best option is to see if there's any smash fests or tournaments going on around you and just go, hang out with people and play as much as you can.
Also, just some friendly advice, as great of a resource this reddit, or smashboards, or people in general can be, not everything everyone says is accurate, so do your research.
Have fun, and welcome!
PS, no hate for CS:GO from me. Plus I don't think you'll find too much hate for it here in general since mango plays it.
EDIT: I forgt my biggest piece of advice for new players. Spacing is as important, if not more important than tech skill. Make sure you're movement has a purpose. Good luck Dude/Dudette
Or you could use one of these third-party adapters.
http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458582608&sr=8-1&keywords=mayflash
This one works as well, but I haven't use it and its a little less money
people say its good. look for a review or read the comments for it and decide :)
What sort of information did you need? What you heard is correct. Using any digital TV will require signal conversion from the Gamecube's analog output to a digital input for the TV, which takes a non-trivial amount of time to process. When going from a CRT to a digital TV, there is a noticeable delay between when you press a button and when you can see the move on the screen. It is best to try and find a CRT to practice on. They can be easily found on Craigslist, and people in your region's Melee Facebook group will probably post about available CRTs frequently.
If you don't have a CRT to practice on, then it might be best to get Faster Melee (An optimization of the Dolphin emulator to better emulate Melee) and an adapter and practice on your computer. This should have less lag than plugging your console in to a digital TV.
Unfortunately, Mabel went the opposite direction and she's just under $6 :(
I was tempted to get this, I'm not overly familiar with Animal Crossing but as a Mario Party-type game it seemed like a decent addition to my library at the price. Then I looked it up on Metacritic. That is bad.
As a side note, for people more interested in this than me, a set of 3 Animal Crossing amiibo is also deeply discounted right now.
you can pick up some of the animal crossing ones for only a few dollars
edit: Mabel Amiibo (Animal Crossing Series)
nah you want to buy one of the adapters Nintendo made when Smash Wii U or Smash Ultimate came out, or one of the Mayflash offbrand ones. Then you can practice with your real controller which will lag less in the emulator.
Here's a link:
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE/
yeah, not really sure this is all that great because of that. Having the wired usb thingamambob might be the better route.
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE
If you are looking for a 3rd party alternative might I recommend the Mayflash adapter? I have been using it for going on 4 years now, and it works great on the Switch/Wii U/PC.
Not sure if amazon link are ok but here ya go
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=mayflash+gamecube+adapter&qid=1573615831&sprefix=mayflash&sr=8-2
This is the USB adapter most people recommend. Also if you want to share an eBay listing for a controller here I'd be happy to check it out and let you know if it's a good deal or not!
If you're using an emulated wiimote, you need nothing.
If you are using a real, physical wiimote, you will need a sensor bar and a bluetooth dongle.
Most of us recommend the Mayflash Dolphinbar as it combines both into one device.
http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-W010-Wireless-Sensor-DolphinBar/dp/B00HZWEB74
Update that to the latest firmware to alleviate a burn out problem.
We also support official GC controller adapters (From nintendo) and can emulate those for the most accurate GC controller input (surprisingly enough, we get better analog stick input).
http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/
This is also effectively the same as the official GC adapter.
We also support pretty much any GC -> USB adapter as long as it gives some sort of controller interface, but for obvious reasons we try to recommend one or two.
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.
No, it's in the living room/TV area but we live in an apartment, which isn't small, but the living room is next to the bedroom. No issues whatsover. It does cut off if I'm in the other room which is further away from the living room.
My other tips regarding the Gamepad would be to buy a storage case like this, this awesome screen protector which has the best application processes I have ever seen and maybe extra styluses, though I haven't done that. The case and screen protector will help a lot against dust and scuffs.
I am sure you've looked into Wii U data storage options?
EDIT: The screen protector seems to be out of stock for now. You can look for a different one but I can only vouch for that one because I use it.
I recommend getting the Nintendo GameCube-Wii U adapter, I bought two over the holidays. https://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI
I've been playing Sunshine on PC for the past few days, and lordy lordy does it look gud on 4K downsampled to 720p.
I noticed that my game still hadn't shipped this morning, and was incorrectly linking tracking information to another shipment which had already been delivered. This was my second contact with Amazon support since I hadn't received notice that it was shipped or shipping soon. The first guy just told me it would ship soon. This guy looked into and told me that the gamecube adapters were out of stock and holding up the entire order.
Just for clarification, this was not the game+controller+adapter bundle, but the stand alone adapters.
http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1416510018&sr=1-2&keywords=gamecube+adapter
Yes. Amazon has the adapter listed for 20$, however the date is still TBA.
The nintendo ones will probably be back in stock by the end of this month I'd say, hopefully with some amount to back up the demand. Last time they were available they were sold out almost instantly!
I will tell you this much: the jump from 3ds to wiiu is MUCH larger than the jump from WiiU Pro controller to GC controller, speaking from personal experience. Just getting an actual controller with actual joysticks (no offense, circle pad) will make a world of difference for you in terms of character control and responsiveness. I've seen a lot of people on this sub comment saying they felt like they got worse at the game when they got to the wiiu version; I think that's because control with the 3ds can be a little forgiving in comparison, which in the end just takes away a bit of the precision that you'll really need (and that, in my opinion, you can only really accomplish with the GC controller).
So I would say get Sm4sh for wiiu and pick up one of those controllers if you can, though I know they're a little bit pricey. It's hard to say when you'll have the opportunity to get the wiiu adapter, and this controller will be useful for other wiiu games outside of sm4sh (it's also my favorite controller for Mario Kart, for what that's worth) in the meantime, if that makes you feel any better. I've actually gotten very used to the pro controller and it works great as a substitute for the gamecube controller. let me know if you have questions about it!
Mayflash GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U and PC USB, 4 Port https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dKUHybFWBZA9E
For a controller I'd check at a game exchange near you. One that sells games from previous generations, the one near me has OG gamecube controllers for $25.
For the adapter I'd recommend the mayflash adapter, it's only $15 and works on Wii U too if you're gonna be using it for Smash 4.
This is one of the two most recommended adapters, it has the dual function of allowing you to play other games with the GCC too.
am I being trolled

it's like the first thing on every page about them man
http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE
I have this one and I love it. If it has any input lag, I haven't noticed. It is PC native so it's easy to get it going, and you can use it for Smash 4 if you play that game too.
you will need to download the Dolphin Emulator. it is compatible with most controllers, such as xbox, keyboard, etc. if you would like to use a gamecube controller, you would need to buy an adapter such as this one.
Yep, just about everyone uses a GC controller for PM. If you want to play on PC, you'll need an adapter. This one works pretty well from what I've heard. I use an older Mayflash one and it works well too.
The deal has ended, but Tom and Mabel are still slightly discounted at 10$ each.

Either the offical GamecubeContoller adapter for WiiU by Nintendo
OR
the Gamecube controller adapter for Wii U & PC by MayFlash.
Both have native support with dolphin and function pretty much identical.
Mayflashs has a pc mode where you can use the gamecube controller as a generic input device. So if you plan on using your gamecube controller for anything else besides dolphin/smash than you should get that one.
If you plan on using gamecube controllers in dolphin those two adapters are the only ones you should consider. Buttons are mapped automatically by dolphin(with these two adapters) so things like deadzones are exactly identical to the console. The native support also has the nice benefit of having no additional input lag.
Currently going for $118.
I kinda doubt it, but I'm no expert. You could use the Wii U GameCube adapter though, I imagine.
First of all, that would be the only reason to use 2 USB ports. One will handle the data from the controllers, and one will power the four controllers. USB 2.0 can't transfer data and power simultaneously.
Second of all, if you look at a photo of the adapter, the plugs are differentiated. Gray is power, and black is data.
Here's another one for you
Edit: also this one
Edit 2: Here
*Edit 3: Also it took me all of 30 seconds to find these three, I'm sure there are more.
I think /u/8drawr means the pro controller but the actual pro pad is a tool for the 3DS
Go onto smash ladder and play some friendlies! A lot of people there are nice (but don't be surprised if you encounter some salty people).
Next step is to get this and a GC controller (either from eBay or GameStop, just not 3rd party always official)
That does not work with a Wii U.
Look at this one instead: https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=pd_sim_147_5?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=WGNFW1C7JRZP695HCAQZ
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE
I'm assuming you mean most lagless
I assume you're talking about a Gamecube controller, in which case this is what you're looking for.
I would have tried to find a way to reuse the original ports.

that one works with smash and only smash, in stock in a few days
It's originally a Gamecube game obviously, and can be played on Wii as well, but these days most people play on PC netplay.
https://www.smashladder.com/ The netplay ladder for both Melee and PM. It has guides to get everything set up, but here is the guide you will want for Melee. You will need to find an NTSC v1.02 Melee ISO, I'm sure you can figure out how to do that ;)
To start off with you can use any PC controller or even a keyboard (it sounds crazy but some people have done it successfully). If you get more serious or you want to play in offline tournaments you will need a Gamecube controller and adapter. Adapters are pretty cheap, just make sure it's a WiiU compatible adapter like this one, Dolphin can detect it in WiiU mode and this will work best. New GC controllers are unfortunately much more expensive, and probably will be until the next Smash game comes out and they make a new batch. This is probably the biggest barrier to entry. You can find lightly used ones for more reasonable prices. It is also possible to repair more damaged controllers (there are guides for this and people who make a business out of it). Third party controllers are generally pretty trash, I would avoid those.
As for actually playing, this guide is the classic for advanced techniques, though it's a lot to take in at once. There are a ton of other guides on Youtube as well if you feel like you need a different explanation or just want something more modern.
Don't forget this isn't 'dozy 8 we're talking about either. We're talking about the beloved Nintendo, the very company that might as well be the gaming world's Catholic Church. A company that, in the minds of the devout, can do no wrong, reguardless of if they release the approximately very same 4 flagship games a year since the Bush Senior administration.
To make matters worse its coming from someone who might as well look like a representative of the Devil himself, EA. Had this come from Gabe, or Sony, or Activision, who in this analogy are the Protestants, we'd might listen to this critism.
But no this came from "EA" who obviously "hates Nintendo" and therefore "hates fun" as well, which means we have to burn the heretic's house down right?
Lets be real here, yes the Wii was a good idea. Instead of a step forwards they took one sideways, it clearly worked well for them, but for the WiiU to work in today's market, they needed to leap two steps forward to retake their lost preformance ground. Which they didn't, they made hardware that was competitive five years ago.
Also, don't you believe that Nintendo doesn't want to directly compete with the new generation, because if not this wouldn't exist.
Nintendo dropped the ball, sure hardware development is "hard" and "it takes a while to figure everything out", but if your shit is competing with last year's ipod touch, you fucked up.

You are talking about the Wii classic Pro. You should look into the Wii U Pro controller. No squeezy triggers, much better compatibility with Mayflash (from what I have heard).
The wii u pro controller is actually only 42.50 right now.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009AP23NI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
And even if it was 60 its still worth it. The battery on this thing can last months.
Get this one.
Its amazing. Put one on when I opened my wiiu.
Not a single bubble or spec of dust due to its unique mounting method.
Can't even tell its on there and it give me a ton of peace of mind.
One of these guys right here. Hori makes the best stuff.
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-U-Precision-Screen-Filter-Nintendo/dp/B009NRO1J2/
I actually just finished putting my two anti-4-year-old accessories on my GamePad last night. I can't speak about any of the products you listed, but here's my solution:
I went with the RocketFish Invisishell (got mine at Best Buy, $7.99 retail) to protect the GamePad itself. It seems pretty sturdy and covers most of the gamepad. Being clear was a big thing for me, so that you could still see the Hylian detailing on the limited edition GamePad. This particular shell also has room at the bottom so that it can still be docked (Hori makes a similar product, but it's twice as much and can't be docked).
For a screen protector I went with the Hori Precision Screen Filter (could only find this online, $7.99 retail) - it was fairly painless to apply, definitely didn't have any problems as far as air bubbles. I did have a little problem with dust, and will definitely say that if you get any dust under it to flip the instructions over and read the section on removing dust. I didn't and ended up with twice as much dust under it as a result. I'll also note that they make a kind of bundle with a screen protector, stylus, and screen cloth - apparently this has a different protector that isn't as good, so go with the one that is screen protector only.
As an aside, I really don't get why people downvote these kinds of questions. Had the same thing happen when I asked for some input as well.
I like the Tomee gamepad case: http://www.amazon.com/Tomee-Wii-Protective-GamePad-Nintendo-U/dp/B00ATJIOTG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1411014773&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=tomee+wii+u
Then just carry the console in a backpack or whatever, wrap some shirts around it.
I used to take mine to work (taking the subway and all) sometimes stuffed on my backpack. I only bought an special case for the gamepad. Like this one... http://www.amazon.com/Tomee-Wii-Protective-GamePad-Nintendo-U/dp/B00ATJIOTG/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1416457832&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=gamepad+case
Probably gonna want to buy two extension cables. Looking at this it looks like it uses two USB ports.
http://www.amazon.com/GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI/
Not sure if each USB controls two controllers or if its a power thing.
As long as the controllers work for the game itself, you can use them in any combination. Note, however, that you'll need the GameCube Controller Adapter for the GC controllers. If you have a lot of GC controllers or friends who have them, you can technically have 8 GC controllers for 8-player mode assuming that you have two GC controller adapters.
Well there are a couple GC adapters here...
Pricey but official
Single controller adapter that goes into wiimote, much less pricey

BUT I tried to "add to cart" and it didn't actually add anything.... Anyone else have luck?

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.

this isn't the official one but this works just as good.
Mayflash would be your next best bet.
You can even get a Dreamcast to USB adapter and play it how it was originally meant to be played.
EDIT: sorry didn't notice you said Gamecube but you get the gist.
It really bugs me to play with a remote. Even the tablet is annoying to play with. If you and your friends are used to Melee, I would buy a GameCube adaptor (this one is only $15 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/) and a couple of controllers.
The mayflash adapter and the official Nintendo one work with Windows 10.
I use the Mayflash one.
There are commercial adapters availble as well, but I don't know which one is best. Here is an example:
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE?th=1
Good luck!
They’re expensive because they’re out of stock and scalpers sell them at the increased price. Nintendo hasn’t been great at restocking them, but there are a ton of alternatives such as the Mayflash adapter
Pick up one of the Mayflash adaptors. They work natively with Switches and are extremely easy to set up with Dolphin. I would also recommend an official gamecube controller instead of a 3rd party. They will generally be much higher quality and you should be able to pick one up at a decent price at a retro game store. It will save you a lot of future headaches I swear.
If you want to use your gamecube controllers this adapter works pretty well. However, it works as DirectInput, so you'll need to run an additional program to get it working with games that only support XInput. Since you mentioned using it for fighting games though, I wouldn't recommend using the GC controller for most of those. The dpad on it is pretty awful, and very few people play fighting games on analog stick (with the exception of stuff that's designed around actual analog input, but that's not most 2D fighting games). If you're not too used to playing them with controller and don't mind learning something new I'd highly recommend just playing on keyboard. It sounds weird to a lot of people for some reason, but it's much closer to an arcade stick than a controller is (and is almost identical to a Hitbox if you know what that is). If you're interested in playing on keyboard and want more info on that I'd be glad to share more.
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1493995616&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=mayflash
This is the best one to use for my PC right?
You can find a mayflash for 14.29 on amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1450487861&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=mayflash+gc+adapter
And as for a good GC controller, yeah it's gonna cost around 25 bucks for a new smash one. Plus 35+22 is 57 not 77 soooo yeah math is hard. Also you can't play pm on a 2ds or a 3ds so I'm not exactly sure why you're posting to this subreddit.
You need this. Plug and play, works great. No input lag. 4 controllers at once. LINK
Unfortunately, I don't know of any USB based controllers that have the same build quality as the original GCN controllers.
Raphnet used to be the bees knees before the Wii U Adapter and Native Control support came out. All the ones saying that the Raphnet is better are probably just the older posts. The current best adapter is the Wii U Official USB Adapter. Inputs should be basically identical to console. You can try and get it from Gamestop. If not the mayflash one works fine you can get it from Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ Make sure you set it up using the guide that Smashladder provides, using Wii U mode.
Here's the link to the one I bought.
Yes sir! Any GameCube controller will work but you need [this] (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00RSXRLUE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1495541563&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=gamecube+controller+adapter&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=41pvJ9j5gAL&amp;ref=plSrch) adapter. I own [this controller] (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00O9GW8VK/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1495541744&amp;sr=8-5&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=gamecube+controller&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=518Z8rDdJEL&amp;ref=plSrch) and its great. However, if you want a different one just browse amazon or your local GameStop. Hope I helped!

Just out of curiosity, which ones do you have? A lot of them are on really good sales on Amazon like the 3-pack. Almost all of them are on sale seen here.

There's always the Wii U Pro Controller. But any lower than tournament level, who the hell is willing to buy 4?
Nope it's a bit more complex than that.
List of "Classic" controllers:
I don't get it, I see plenty of them at a decent price on both Amazon and the usual import sites:
As you can see here the real Pro Controllers have the Wii U symbol on the top, unlike the one you linked. That ebay one seems to be a knockoff, probably of Chinese origin. I would personally just recommend getting a real one.
No prob. . .this is the one I'm talking about- http://www.amazon.com/Wii-U-PRO-controller-black-WUP-A-RSKA/dp/B009AP23NI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1407021918&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=wii+u+pro+controller
It looks like the price has gone up since I bought it though : /
I was actually looking at this one on Amazon but I think it's the same thing.
Yeah, I hate the price on controllers, but right now, you probably wont find the Pro for much less than $50. Xbone and PS4 controllers are like $60.
I just looked on Amazon, and you can get this one for $43
You could always buy the cheaper 3rd party controllers, but I personally don't trust the reliability.
You can get those Wii U pro controllers on amazon for $46 http://www.amazon.com/Wii-PRO-controller-black-WUP---RSKA/dp/B009AP23NI/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1419431359&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=wii+u+pro
Also you can get Mario 3D Land for $30 price matching it on Walmart.

Nintendo sells the official Wii U Gamepad Styluses here.
I purchased the Hori Wii U Precision Screen Filter from Amazon and am reasonably satisfied with it. It was pretty easy to apply, but it seems like there is a very small gap of exposed screen along at least one edge when you apply it. It is small enough for me not to care though, I just make sure dust doesn't gather there by cleaning it out every now and then.
Make sure you apply it in a bathroom or somewhere relatively dust-free so you don't have to deal with dust getting under the protector during application.
1.) Yes this is normal.
2.) These are the best: http://www.amazon.com/Wii-U-Precision-Screen-Filter-Nintendo/dp/B009NRO1J2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1397062252&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=hori+wii+u
Have fun with your new console!!
The combination of nerf armor and the hori gamepad screen protector have kept the gamepad in ptretty good shape considering that my children actively try to break pretty much everything in our house.
The screen is durable, but it does scratch easier than you might expect. That's why I got the screen protector.

A second post from me, a 5 port usb charging hub, $12usd.
That one is just the best selling one on Amazon, you can probably find one for cheaper. But it charges anything that normally charges off of usb; iPads, iPhones, android smartphones, PS Vitas, the Nintendo 3ds/xl and the WiiU gamepad if you can get the cables, etc. Who doesn't have a plethora of stuff that can charge off of usb these days anyways.
I use a usb cable because of the original power supply's tendency to break easily (2 of mine did)... It works absolutely fine, it just charges slower but that's not a problem for me. I haven't tried using a wall adapter with it, though, I just plug it into my computer.
Edit: this is the one I got.
Edit2: If anyone could figure out the power output of the original adapter VS one for an iPad etc. that'd be helpful, electrical stuff gives me a headache so I haven't bothered
I have one of these, works great! I use it a lot for XCX:

There are usb chargers on the market that do exactly this though.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ARMQ7VM?pc_redir=1408592440&amp;amp;robot_redir=1
I look at the specs, I see that they can match up. And in fact, there are products that do precisely what you and others in this thread say can not be. You can get usb cables with a gamepad plug in, plug it in to your wii u, and it will charge.
I got the Tomee one as well. It works pretty great. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ATJIOTG/
I personally got the PDP Silicon Jacket + Tomee Carrying Case + Hori Screen Protector and have been reasonably happy with the combination of the 3. The quality of PDP jacket does seem to be a bit inconsistent from the Amazon reviews, but a few people have posted tips on there about getting it to fit better. If it seems absolutely terrible, maybe you should just return it though?

On 20xx vs normal Melee: it doesn't matter. 20xx has L-cancel lights and random music if you're interested.
On stage zoom: there might be something out there but you'll get used to the camera pretty quickly, it's fairly good and intuitive
On Xbox controller: other people have you advice on how to set it up but if you're ever planning on going to an actual tournament you'll want a real GameCube controller. To pick one up for Dolphin you can get an adapter here:
https://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI
and a controller here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00O9GW8VK/ref=pd_aw_sim_63_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;dpID=518Z8rDdJEL&amp;amp;dpSrc=sims&amp;amp;preST=_AC_UL100_SR100%2C100_&amp;amp;psc=1&amp;amp;refRID=RJYQ1G895VQENF05P5BE
If you have any interest in playing Smash Wii U these will work for that too. A guide on how to set it up for Dolphin is here: https://www.smashladder.com/guides/view/258h/controller-setup-guide
Anywhere, once they're released.
http://smile.amazon.com/GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI/
The adapter that came out with SSB? This thing?
> :|
You can buy the adapter by it's self for 20 bucks.
http://www.amazon.com/GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1408243922&amp;sr=8-9&amp;keywords=Smash+Brothers
Then buy the new game cube controller for 30.
http://www.amazon.com/GameCube-Controller-Super-Edition-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ4B4/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1408243922&amp;sr=8-10&amp;keywords=Smash+Brothers
Or you could buy the adapter and find an old game cube controller for much cheap I bet.
In short, you need one of these. https://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI
There will be 3rd party versions but I've heard stories that some don't always work out on Switch but regardless you do need the Adapter that was designed generally for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. However, along the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, there will be a Switch model of the Adapter being released along side either separate or bundled with the game.
Yes. No release date, but I would wager the day smash hits.
> As for the Wii U, I would have loved a GC controller, and I still have my crispy pair of original ones, good as new. I didn't play my Wii U enough to justify buying new versions of an old controller, so I went at it with the tablet.
You...what? You didn't need to buy a "new version" of the Gamecube controller, because the new version had the same cable as the old version and they both required the adapter to use with the Wii U.
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
Your link didn't work.
I also found this one, which was listed under Frequently Bought Together: http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI/ref=pd_bxgy_63_img_2?ie=UTF8&amp;refRID=022H1JWC48VAJE988SMY
That looks like the official adapter.
I did see the Smash edition before this, but it is not branded with Nintendo, so I thought it was a third party generic brand.
Thank you for your help.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L3LQ1FI/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1468608284&amp;sr=8-2&amp;pi=SX200_QL40&amp;keywords=wiiu+gamecube+adapter&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=31IjKqU-7TL&amp;ref=plSrch
Is it this one? If so then it only works with Smash Bros. Nintendo released it because so many smash players still prefer the gamecube controllers.
Anybody buy a new gc adapter recently? People don't trust mayflash in my region for some reason, but it looks like the official one is up to $45. Is there any hope of that going down?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L3LQ1FI?ref_=mw_olp_product_details
Is this the only place I can order the GCN adapter for the WiiU (for Smash)? Amazon has a placeholder date which concerns me. Does anyone know where I can get the controllers at launch so that I can download the game in peace?
The Wii U Pro controller
It's a wireless controller for the WiiU. You can play almost any game on this system with this instead of the gamepad. The battey life is incedible and people say it's the best controller on any system.
Here's an Amazon link
The ones that plug into the wiimotes are called wii classic controller pro. The ones that are wireless/usb are pro controllers
edit: Oh and for the ps4 and xbone games that aren't available for the Wii U, Ubisoft is avoiding it and said that Watch Dogs may be the last one, you can only have a cinematic experience in Assassins Creed Unity with other consoles. We also won't have Call of Duty any more.No minecraft and something that I actually miss is the last FIFA we had is 13. So a bunch of games are available for ps4 and xbone but not for the Wii U, I would go even further and say most of these consoles games aren't on the Wii U. But hey almost all of the best games of the Wii U are exclusives too.
You can only use one gamepad with the Wii U. The pro controller's are excellent though. 80 hour battery life off of a USB charger.
http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Pro-Controller-Black-Wii-u/dp/B00MUY0OFU/ref=lp_3075113011_1_2?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1422584280&amp;sr=1-2
The cheapest option will be a Wii Mote Plus, it's identical in function to the Wii mote with motion plus adapter attached. You can get them used or refurbished for 15 dollars or less.
https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/us/po/browse/productDetailColorSizePicker.jsp?categoryNav=false&amp;navAction=jump&amp;navCount=2&amp;atg.multisite.remap=false&amp;productId=prod400003&amp;categoryId=cat20005
The Wii Pro Controller is my personal favorite, it's similar to an xbox 360 controller and has really great battery life. These go for about 50, but sometimes are on sale for 40ish. Here is a link.
http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Pro-Controller-Black-Wii-u/dp/B00MUY0OFU/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1452522197&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Wii+U+Pro+Controller
In Canada? It's only 1c less than $40, but it's better than $55 MSRP: http://www.amazon.ca/Nintendo-Wii-Pro-Controller-Black/dp/B00MUY0OFU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1451599293&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=wii+u+pro

For the GC Controllers I use an unofficial adapter for WiiU which is directly recognized by Dolphin (I have never need to change it from WiiU mode, so an official one should work too). But of course, this is PC, so as long as there is a way to recognize the input from a port, you can get it working eventually (as has been the case since time immemorial).
For the Wiimotes, a USB bluetooth 4.0 dongle is more than enough as long as you let it interface directly with the emulator through continual scanning (once synced everything works, speaker included). Also, for the sensor bar I use an old wireless baterry powered one with rechargable AAA batteries, but if I were looking for one now I'd get a USB powered one.
Oh, and btw, that same bt dongle can also support DS4 / DS3 / Ouya / generic controllers connected to it at the same time as the Wiimotes, so it's definitelly worth the $10 (I didn't include newer Xbox controllers for the simple fact I've never tried them over bluetooth, but they should work too).
alternatively you can check your local facebook marketplace or craigslist listings for cheaper controllers. max I'd pay for an indigo / black / platinum is $20, $25 if it looks brand new.
all n64 vc games on the virtual wii need the classic controller pro. you can use the official ones, hori battle pads, or the pdp ones. if you install nintendont on the vwii you can use wiiU pro controllers, ps3, or ps4 controllers or the usb game cube adapters. all of them on the wiiu require a full pro controller of any gen (so non wiimote)
|
you can also inject roms so long as you own one game with that emulator. so if a game is not on the wiiU but you have it you can use caffeine on the current firmware to hack any rom into virtual console.
|
edit- there is also this guy from mayflash that will make your gamecube controllers plug into a wiimote and work as classic controller pro https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-Nintendo-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Wii/dp/B00BS520SG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1469665411&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=mayflash+gamecube+adapter , mayflash also sells this guy that is better than the nintendo smash game cube adapter https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1469665411&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=mayflash+gamecube+adapter
edit2- if you plan on playing online you need the lan adapter as well, there are lots of 3rd party for that as well since you only need the same chipset (ASIX AX88772)
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE
This is cheaper and works great it’s all you need https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_gHj.zb94X1BDV
> A big life philosophy of mine is rhat people are too accepting of being okay with saying incorrect things.
I responded to the statement "2 port is cheaper and has direct." When I search "mayflash 4/2 port wii u adapter", they are both listed at $15.99: 4 port, 2 port
Ususally when people say "2 port" without any further clarification, they are referring to this piece of garbage. If you find a listing for this, it probably would be cheaper, because it's obsolete. But it doesn't "have direct", because at the time there was no official Wii U adapter to copy.
Here's the adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1464213384&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=gamecube+adapter
Just a heads up also, when you do the setup for it (it involves a program called zadig, it's a very simple setup) you'll want to set it to Wii U mode, even though it has a PC setting on the switch.
While it may be slightly over your budget, I would recommend this adapter, https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/
Works perfectly with Dolphin and should work with everything else as well. I would recommend the official adapter that Nintendo created for the Wii U but that is even more out of your budget and Amazon currently does not directly carry it.
Yeah Ima second the top comment here, if the melee Doc inspired you why not play melee? If you have any questions about getting into the scene feel free to ask, all it really takes is a gamecube controller and an adapter
I've absolutely found melee to be a much more rewarding experience than any of the other games in the series. The 3rd party online through smashladder is ironically much better than online for any of the other games. As others have said, it's cheaper and more useful to get Faster Melee and a Mayflash adapter rather than getting a gamecube. This will allow you to play online. Check out SSBM Tutorials to learn more of the basics and figure out what character to play. Good luck, I hope you end up picking up the game. I'd also be down to teach you some of the basics if you're in the US and have decent internet, just dm me if you're interested.
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE
I haven't put Android on my Switch, but I do have Dolphin on my Galaxy Tab S4......which Gamecube adapter do you have? I ordered one on Amazon a while back and it did not do anything, never worked. I ended up returning it and getting the MayFlash adapter which I was told worked much better-- and it did, it works perfect and my Galaxy actually recognizes it. It may work on the Switch, but I'm not sure if the Switch even recognizes any of the adapters.
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE?th=1
is this the one I want?
AFAIK this is the mayflash adapter you want. It supports native inputs which basically means little to no input lag. The 2 port adapters work, but they add a noticeable amount of input lag.
If you're gonna get an adapter make sure you get the 4 port mayflash one. Others will lag.
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE
You should buy either the 4 port mayflash or the official wii u gamecube to usb adapter. Both of these make dolphin feel just like the gamecube in terms of controller inputs.
4 port mayflash: https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1487737578&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=4+port+mayflash
Official Wii U: https://www.amazon.com/Gamecube-Controller-Connection-Tap-Wii-U/dp/B00O9GPB00/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1487737600&amp;sr=8-5&amp;keywords=wii+u+gamecube+adapter
I have the 4 port mayflash and it works flawlessly. A guide to setting them up in dolphin is found here: https://www.smashladder.com/guides/view/26oz/controller-guide-2-0
Buy a Mayflash adapter, the Amazon page says it is supported by the Switch. I've used one on my PC and Wii U with no issue.
Where can i get a car for under $200? lolz
if your playing smash 4, you dont need a gc adapter to get started anyways. just use w/e wiiu controller you have, and if you like it enough, $18 dollars will be no big deal.
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE?th=1
also ebay and craigslist are perfectly fine.
I do have the GC Mayfash adapter(which is not the same as that one you posted, the mayflash version has text on the top + at the bottom its label has the mayflash logo: https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE?th=1 ) and it works perfectly fine playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.. as in "L" throws items, "R" and "Z" both jump

Been using the Mayflash for a few years now, and It hasn't given me any issues at all. Highly recommend.
amazon link
I'm not sure, but if there aren't you should check out the Mayflash 4 port adapter. It is known for having no input delay and works the same as the official one. I use one and can vouch for it, check it out here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_dWTBCbSRB37J8
I don't know much about how to get Bluetooth information from an adapter that doesn't give you that information, but if you like there are USB adapters for GameCube controllers like the Mayflash adapter (https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE?th=1) or Nintendo's official one (http://www.gamestop.com/wii-u/accessories/wii-u-gamecube-adapter/115426). Though I don't know about the compatibility with your controller if it doesn't function exactly like a real one.
Sorry for the confusion! It's this one. Wow the price doubled from what it was yesterday when I ordered one!
Have you considered the mayflash for pc and wiiu? its about 35 dollars and people who got it said that there's no input lag. I'd check it out.
http://www.amazon.com/GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Wii-PC-WiiU/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=pd_sim_vg_4?ie=UTF8&amp;refRID=1KF6H5RJNFTQ6YM976VE
Mayflash adapter + newly manufactured GCN controller is a godlike combo imo.
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Super-Smash-Classic-Gamecube-Controller/dp/B00O9GW8TC/
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/
Fairly cheap, compared to modern controller prices at least, and supported out of the box by the devs. The octagon gate on the analog stick in particular is really great for throws. (Unfortunately I feel Brawlhalla tries to use the analog triggers as digital, but I fixed that by changing my dodge button to the x button personally, ymmv)
wait are they really $55 on amazon?
Mayflashes are good too right? Link
I play keyboard but I've spent years playing on emulators so maybe not :p
A healthy portion of the community uses Gamecube Controllers but since the supports most controllers and the game is available for Xbone, I wouldn't be shocked if most people just used an Xbox controller.
#keyboardmasterrace
Yeah, the 4 port - http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=sr_1_2/184-9153600-9354402?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1453217096&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=nintendo+gamecube+adapter
I've seen that other people play on OSX so it def should be fine. A few months ago as a test I got dolphin and melee ran fine on it, so I know the program itself is fine, just need to know about the controller. Thanks!
I'd rather get this http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE, and if you don't already have a controller you can buy the new Smash GC controllers.
Mayflash GameCube to USB adapter.
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.
It depends on what games you want to play.
The old school Wii Remote and Nunchuck will work on many multiplayer games and are also necessary for playing any Wii games
However, if you want to play Wii U games, you can also choose the Wii U Pro Controller. (which can NOT be used when playing original Wii games. Only for Wii U titles)
I have found that owning one of these isnt necessary, I have been able to get by with 4 players on my Wii U using only the supplied gamepad and 4 old Wii motes (nintendo land, mario kart, mario bros can all work with the old wii motes).
It's also probably worth mentioning that this is a Wii subreddit, and your question relates to a Wii U.
I don't mind one bit...but you know what people can be like :)
the old Wii remotes were upgraded towards the end of the life of the original Wii, so if you plan on getting Wii remotes, make sure you get the Wii Remote Plus models, to ensure you can use them on everything (some games require the added "Plus" functionality to work)
i believe he is referring to these
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-U-Pro-Controller-White-Nintendo/dp/B009AFLXJS
Do you mean this thing?
Because yes, those don't work in Brawl (or any Wii games for that matter)
You can't. Here's the next best thing.
Yeah, there is a Wii Pro Controller that works. But you plug it into the Wii Remote for it to work. After that it's a normal controller. It's very similar to a PS2 controller but it doesn't have clicky sticks. It comes in 3 colors, so it's up to you which one to pick. If you want a white one, buy it here. If you want a black one, buy it here. If you want a golden one, buy it here. There is always the Wii U Pro Controller which comes in both white and black, but that only works on Wii U games and not Wii games.
I tired connecting my wiiU pro controller (newly bought from here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009AP23NI/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&amp;me= ) to a friend's wiiU and after he synced it the controls were all weird like in super smash during the character selection the left stick would work but during the fight it wouldn't. Can anyone help me?
Cheapest I've seen the pro controller is $40. Right now there are Japanese versions for it (that also work on NA consoles per the reviews) going for ~$43 on Amazon
Nintendo Wii U Pro U Controller (Japanese Version), Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009AP23NI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ID-OybARREXNZ
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&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1482789261&amp;sr=1-5&amp;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&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1482789583&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=wii+classic+controller) and attach it to your wiimote as you do the nunchuk.
I purchased [this] (http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B009AP23NI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1) version, not sure if its the same you are wondering about. Labeling on the back was in both Japenese and English other than that, no difference whatsoever. I'll actually have to look at one of the pros we have here at work to see if there is any difference.
If you'd like the screen protector, I HIGHLY recommend this one. I just got it and it's the best screen protector I've ever bought.
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-U-Precision-Screen-Filter-Nintendo/dp/B009NRO1J2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1410413196&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=wii+u+protector
One more question for you: is the screen protector different than just a screen filter?
I'm assuming you mean this:
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-U-GamePad-Protector-Nintendo/dp/B009UONG26/ref=pd_sim_vg_2?ie=UTF8&amp;refRID=15H1018YZ4N40RQS6ECK
But does that cover the screen as well? Or do I need to also purchase one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009NRO1J2/ref=s9_simh_bw_p63_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-6&amp;pf_rd_r=1HJ0BMTCVXC17F97N0QF&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;pf_rd_p=1909107822&amp;pf_rd_i=3075112011
Thanks in advance for any insight!
I keep a protective cover and a screen protector on mine. Those are marked up prices on Amazon and I paid much less at the time, so I'm sure you could fine similar cases and screen protectors for cheaper. Otherwise just take care of it and most likely you'll be fine. Worst case scenario I'm sure Nintendo will be doing repairs on them for quite a while, it'll just be pricey.
Thanks for your detailed response! I really appreciate the link you put for the LAN adapter as well.
The screen protector seems like a really good idea. Any brands you would suggest? Amazon pulls this up, and it looks promising.
Again, thank you! Happy Holidays :)
This is anecdotal evidence, but I recently bought a screen protector for my Wii U gamepad and it works just fine. I'm not sure which screen protector you bought, but the one I bought has generally favorable reviews.
At launch the wireless range for the gamepad for some reason was really bad. I'm not sure if the recent update did something to increase its receptive range, because now I can watch/play games even in the bedroom behind a wall. I didn't change where my Wii U was located, nor did I purchase or replace my current router with a different one, so I'm not sure what changes were made.
In a previous Nintendo Direct Iwata has said that they're aware the loading between apps is taking forever. There will be another patch coming out soon, as it was intended to be a two part update. The first one was stated for Spring (which was pushed out already), the second one should come soon. I imagine by the next Nintendo Direct we'll hear more about it. I believe in a previous statement Reggie also said they'd like to put the initial system update onto the Wii U's from some time onward in the future (I think closer to holiday season?) so consumers can play it out of the box without having to wait 1+ hours for the update.
No one end is the port that will fit into the gamepad and the other is just USB. So it will fit into any usb port
http://www.amazon.com/Tomee-Wii-U-Charge-GamePad-Nintendo/dp/B00ARMQ7VM
so if I use that I can plug it into this

I use this. Though now it's really pricy for some reason... when I bought it it was only $10. Now $55. Great case though, maybe it will go down in price later.
http://www.amazon.com/Tomee-Wii-Protective-GamePad-Nintendo-U/dp/B00ATJIOTG
I have found a great alternative to the official Rocketfish Wii U bag, if you can find one at Marshalls or TJ Maxx it should cost around $25 (unfortunately $55 on Amazon), and I also picked up the Gamepad controller protector on Amazon for $15. This combo works really well together, and you can fit all necessary components, as well as 10+ games and 4 Wii controllers easy!

Well, Nintendo is releasing a port for the Wii U althought we don't know if we can use it on other games, and if we can, then
you'll probably need the Wii version becausethe Wii U doesn't read GCN games.>You want to place this adapter inside it? That's possible when you use an internal USB adapter cable like that one.
I was thinking of something like this
Im thinking of removing the cables at the end(usb) to plug them into a usb on the computer, and simply solder the cables onto the original backside of the front. Im actually not 100% sure that would work, but without trying I would never know.
I've used 360 controllers without issue. I set up a PS4 controller for my friend yesterday and that also worked without issue. You'll be fine with either one, though the PS4 controller needed DS4Windows running to make it work properly. The 360 will just work with windows.
The best solution, however, is to buy a Super Smash Bros. Gamecube Adapter and a Gamecube controller.
I don't know about $50 but I've seen it priced at 20 at GameStop and Amazon, online of course.
I mean I see it on amazon right now or is this a fake?
link
SSB Gamecube controller connects to the separate Gamecube controller adapater.
http://www.amazon.com/GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=undefined&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=wii+u+gamecube
The PDP ones(OP link) connect to the Wii Mote and are "wireless." So if you are looking for the zero input lag route you'd want to get the adapter I linked and the Smash Gamecube controller which is essentially a regular Gamecube controller.
Under the product name "Wired Fight Pad", you can clearly see the manufacturer is PDP, NOT NINTENDO. Here is the North American Amazon listing for the Smash branded Controllers. That image is not a placeholder and has been confirmed to be the final product image by several other North American retailers as well as numerous videogame news outlets. Here is another listing from BestBuy. I searched for these on AmazonUK (I assume you are not from North America) and was not able to find this controller which leads me to believe Nintendo has not officially announced the global availability of the GameCube adapter as well as the reissued controllers. As for North America, both the adapter and original model GameCube controller will be made available the day of Smash 4's release. I even have this here Bundle pre-ordered. Older model controllers circa 2001 will work with that adapter as well. Here is the listing for the stand-alone adapter.
This is all I need.
That was my thought too. Unfortunately amazon has experienced the same under-stock. Amazon Canada currently has 1 adapter in stock for $170 http://www.amazon.ca/Super-Smash-Bros-GameCube-Adapter/dp/B00L3LQ1FI
Amazon US is not much better, with 8 in stock going for almost $90 each.
http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI
Hurry! If you act now you can get one for 5x the original price!
only $95!!
http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI
I don't think the controller itself will run out. [Amazon sells them here and is in stock] (http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Controller-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ4B4/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1416593888&amp;sr=8-7&amp;keywords=gamecube+controller)
You can also buy the adapter separate, but it's hard to find
Honestly most gamecube controllers have been out of production for a while, but it wouldn't make sense for them to release an adapter for a peripheral that's no longer produced. I doubt this controller will end up being rare. If the first bundle run of the game is the only print, it may end up being valuable but in terms of rarity, I'm sure a lot were produced. It'll be more of scarcity due to demand but I doubt it will be too rare.
http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1416961531&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=gamecube+controller+adapter&amp;pebp=1416961534841 Save money how? Also everywhere else its sold out.
2 new from 119 dollars, holy crap
people just tryina scam people and shit
You could use one of these to make the Gamecube controller work.
If you were interested in picking one up don't pay mind to the price gougers. It will be back down to $19.99 when it comes back in stock.
You need an adapter. The official one is hard to get because Smash players buy fuck tonnes of them, but you have other options such as the Mayflash adapter which is cheaper and compatible with PC, but apparently not without issues.
What game do you wanna play, by the way ? 'cause I should warn you that GameCube controllers are not compatible with most games on Wii U. Only Smash and apparently some Virtual Console titles.
amazon
You are thinking of the actual new Gamecube controllers which Nintendo is making.
http://www.amazon.com/GameCube-Controller-Super-Edition-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ4B4
They will also be usable on a Gamecube, but to use them for Smash on Wii U you will need a $20 adapter.
http://www.amazon.com/GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_text_y
Both Gamestop and Amazon have the adapter listed as a standalone item.
Not from what I'm seeing. Are you in the US?

But the bundle is just $100.
I mean... It's not unprecedented, even with Nintendo themselves.
Nintendo released an official GameCube adapter for Wii U.
Find the 3rd party version or possibly the Switch branded one of these.

I had heard of shortages too. Seems like they are around.

Seems to me there's three reasons to buy Wii U Smash when you already have it on 3DS:
I bought it when we got the Wii U over Christmas because of the first bullet point; Fighting games aren't my jam, but if we have 5+ people over then odds are 3 or more will be up for Smash. I rarely play it by myself, but it sees as much play as anything we own because of people coming over.
If you decide to get it, you'll need the right set up too. Fighting game tournaments require wired controllers, and on the Wii U that requires an adapter.
If you buy a new console, look for the Smash/Splatoon Bundle:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Nintendo-Wii-U-Splatoon-and-Super-Smash-Bros-Console-Deluxe-Set/46332497
I think it was a holiday special, but you may be able to find a local walmart, target, or something that still has it for $300. If you can't, the Mario Kart bundle is less than $300 on Amazon, and Smash is usually right at $50 new on there.
In addition to the gamepad (default controller), there's two options for Smash-compatible controllers, the "Fight Pad" that plugs into the back of the WiiMote, and the "Smash Bros Gamecube Controller" that plugs into a Gamecube adapter. At tournaments, they'll make you use Gamecube controllers wired through an adapter, otherwise there's too much interference.
If you have old Wii accessories, you can use wiimote/nunchuk combos from that, and if you have the gamecube adapter you can use old gamecube controllers.
Lots of the Smash DLC is discounted if you buy it for the 3DS and Wii U at the same time.
Don't forget, there's lots of other solid games for the Wii U that aren't on any other console - you can find lists in other places on this or the Wii U sub - that may make the math look a little better.
I'd go for the nintendo brand wii-u adapter, less risk of messing something up with the drivers and whatnot. My mayflash adapter broke and I had to get a new adapter anyways.
http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1452895007&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=wii+u+adapter
To save you a little time, you can go straight to the section on controllers in the faq: https://www.reddit.com/r/wiiu/wiki/faq#wiki_controllers
To give you an idea of a specific case, Mario Kart 8 has a flying (gliding, actually) part where you steer with motion control even if you've been using the thumbsticks for steering. I've read people saying that the motion control for MK8 works exactly the same with the Motion Plus as with the classic wiimote, but I don't know for sure.
My guess is that friends are going to prefer to have a pro controller for driving, unless they are already used to tilt control for steering the car. Although, if someone's really good relative to other people, it might be fun to have them handicapped by having to use tilt control to steer.
Also there's a bridge for Smash for the hardcore that want to use GameCube controllers on it. http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI Just to let you know some of the options.
SmashBros is not only great, it's also still super grassroots, not run by a company, and completely free besides the initial cost. This documentary is a great intro to the scene.

http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-nintendo-u/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_text_y
and real Nintendo branded Gamecube controllers like these:
http://www.amazon.com/Super-Edition-GameCube-Controller-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ4B4/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_img_y
or
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017KIBAI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
The reason I recommend this is because the latest development builds of Dolphin have native controller support built in. This means you can just setup the adapter to work with Dolphin and then plug in your Gamecube controllers and you're ready to go with no additional setup. The controllers auto calibrate just like on a real console and you can even unplug controllers and plug them back in during gameplay and everything will still work. It's works really awesome.
Nope
Mayflash or Official Nintendo adapters are the only ones that give console-like performance with ZERO input lag. Others will not offer the same experience, usually with a few more milliseconds of input lag.

These are some off the top of my head. Check the E-shop because I believe a couple of these games will be going on sale in the next couple of weeks as a promotion to Super Smash Bros.
Hoped I helped :)
Yeah, understandable. There is a Pro Controller that might feel more comfortable:
http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Pro-Controller-Black-Wii-u/dp/B00MUY0OFU
No. The only legit Pro Controllers have the Wii U logo on them. For example...
http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Pro-Controller-Black-Wii-u/dp/B00MUY0OFU/ref=lp_3075113011_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1413587673&amp;sr=1-1
I know you might be inclined to purchase one of these knock-offs but I would highly recommend investing in a Nintendo Pro Controller. First of all it will be covered under Nintendo warranty, and you can always send it in if it needs to be fixed. And the authentic Pro Controller has an 80 hour battery life when fully charged. They are completely worth purchasing. Save your money and buy the real deal.
ISO: Wii U Pro controller.
If you've got a (wireless) Wii U pro controller that's just gathering dust, I'd love to buy it and put it to good use with the new Zelda game I picked up over the weekend.
FYI, the wireless Wii-U pro controllers will work with a Mayflash usb adapter. I mention this because I was all set to buy a USB controller when I learned that I could use wireless controllers that I already had.
I am looking to spend $25 for one, so a little too much for me.
Also Amazon sells these new for $40
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-U-Pro-Controller-Black/dp/B00MUY0OFU
They're "by Nintendo", which means Nintendo is the manufacturer. The controllers I'm seeing are either sold by Amazon or a third party vendor. This, for instance, is sold by a third party vendor, but it's an official Pro controller.

Are you asking if there are any other controller options? If so, they make something called a pro controller (Amazon Link). If you're looking for an alternative gamepad, I don't think they make any.
I have the one mayflash made and it works wonderfully.
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE?th=1
I know a few methods to do this
No, not multiple adapters. Multiple controllers from the same adapter. I would be using the 4 controller supported adapter shown here which would have multiple controllers from the same USB port, basically.
This controller on Amazon is probably a little bit nicer, and it doesn't ship from Hong Kong.
If you already have a gamecube controller, or a few of them laying around, your best bet is something like this adapter.
I have one of these controllers that works very well with dolphin.
hey man, check this one out: https://www.amazon.ca/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=mayflash+gamecube&qid=1566480085&s=gateway&sr=8-1
this is the most used gc to switch/pc adapter next to the nintendo official ones. very cheap and work great, i have bought two.
Just gotta grab one of these and do a small bit of configuring. They even make one for wiimotes. I've got both, and they're pretty awesome.
Does anyone know if this adapter works:
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE?th=1
Hello, I just bought RoA and I've got the same results as this using the Mayflash adapter and this controller, but when I'm on any character select screen (versus mode, practice mode, etc..), the cursor slowly moves up automatically. Yet, when I use THIS controller, everything is perfectly fine. This leads me to believe the problem is with that first specific controller. Any thoughts or comments? I could keep using the black one, but I want to use the white one perfectly as well.
I use a Mayflash adapter to play with a GameCube controller, so the controls are identical to the original game.
As they probably will be. You live in US? I just buy 'em off amazon
The third party mayflash WiiU one works just as well: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00RSXRLUE
Unfortunately, no.
The Nintendo adapter is only meant to be compatible with the WiiU, and it is a godsend that Dolphin supports it natively. Unless you are using the Mayflash adapter which can switch to PC mode instead of WiiU mode, there is no other use for such an adapter.
I would strongly recommend getting the Mayflash adapter, here
Dolphin 7840
Mayflash 4 port as seen here
When I say it did not work, it simply produced the same results as when I have the PC mode enabled.
Yeah, it looks like the mayflash with 4 ports works too.
I ordered this one, I'll let you know when I'll have every thing set up (probably end of next week).
Then what is this sherlock?
What you probably have is the new wireless ones they made for switch, which are not actual GC controllers. Go to any tournament and you'll see a ton of people using adapters like the above.
Otherwise please show me the GC controller port on your Wii U / switch lmao
I have a few GameCube controllers each for 15 shipped.
I also would highly recommend the mayflash 4 port adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE.
This adapter allows for a great feature on dolphin where there is no input lag going from the controller to the pc. You can also find these on ebay as well for about the same price
Yeah sure man, either get the Mayflash adapter (which I'd recommend because it has "native" mode, and PC mode, so you can freely use it with other games besides dolphin):
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/
Or you can get the official Nintendo adapter, which looks better and also works (and you've got the official Nintendo quality):
https://www.amazon.com/Gamecube-Controller-Connection-Wii-U-Nintendo/dp/B00O9GPB00/
What about this adapter ? It comes with 4 ports and it's cheaper.
I've used 4 Gamecube controllers with the Mayflash Gamecube adapter that has the PC/Wii U switch along with 4 Wii U Pro controllers with the Mayflash PC adapter and gotten 8-player to successfully work. I haven't needed to use any programs like x360ce so it seems as though it'll at least accept PC controllers (as opposed to Xbox controllers which likely work too). You just have to get used to how the buttons are placed, which is generally well-done on the Gamecube controller.
So, to more specifically answer your question, you can definitely use a basic Gamecube to USB adapter if it's the Mayflash one. The Nintendo one likely works with a bit more effort, here is an article that hopefully will help. Disclaimer: I haven't tested this method since I have the Mayflash adapter; also the article is from 2014, however the website seems trustworthy on the subject.
Also, I haven't tried PS4, Xbox 360, or Xbox 1 controllers, however I have had success mixing two different types of controllers (mentioned above) with success, so I would imagine it'd still work (as long as the PC recognizes the controllers).
Good luck!
Yeahhhh that might be the problem. I suggest you buy an official adapter or mayflash one.
Official: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F36FWMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mlQnDbX33DYJG
Mayflash: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_bmQnDbBHQRDVW
Ah OK. Would this work then?
Assuming you mean this adapter, it 100% works with multiple controllers on the Switch, just like on Wii U. You just have to set the toggle to Wii U mode, not PC. I just tested it in Mario Kart 8 with 3 different GC controllers and 1 set of Joy-Cons (because I don't have a 4th GameCube controller). Each one worked separately and I was able to control 4 separate karts at the same time.
You need an adapter to make it work. I use the $20 Mayflash adapter, it works for PC, Wii U and Switch, and Dolphin emulator.
This one: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00RSXRLUE/sr=8-1/qid=1483395333/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&amp;me=&amp;qid=1483395333&amp;sr=8-1
Yes, there is.
You can, even on PC: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=dp_cerb_2?th=1
On the BC Wii it has 4 Gamecube ports.
I'm probably just echoing what everyone else said, but here we go.
Fox is technically the best character in the game, but I wouldn't recommend him for a beginner personally. The tier list assumes that all players play as perfectly as possible, and the things that make Fox good require you to press a lot of buttons very quickly at very specific timings, which is more difficult for newer players. To find out which character (I'd recommend just one to start) you want to main, I'd recommend watching some professionals play matches and see if any of them catch your eye. The easiest characters for beginners to pick up are probably Marth or Sheik, but the most important thing by FAR is to main the character YOU want to main. If you want to main Fox, do it! If you find that you really have your heart set on Kirby, don't let anyone stop you! Hell, I'm from Minnesota, and our 3rd ranked player is a Kirby main. You have to play with whoever YOU find the most fun to play with, otherwise practicing won't be fun, and you'll never get anywhere.
Oh, and get a gamecube controller. Get a gamecube controller. Get a gamecube controller. They're practically designed for Smash Bros, and they're the only controllers you'll be able to use in tournaments if you decide to go to any in the future. Don't get a cheap knock-off either, they're not nearly as good and they break easily. Get this one, or a different color of this one. It's by far the best for a beginner. If you happen to get really into Melee, you might want to get one of the older editions of the GC controllers, as they're considered to be slightly better, but they're way more expensive. If you're using Dolphin, you'll also need an adapter. It might be a little annoying to get set up, but Dolphin Emulator's site has troubleshooting for every possible issue.
Welcome to the community!
TL;DR Play whoever you want but I'd personally recommend not Fox for a beginner, Marth or Sheik would be "easiest". Get a real GC controller and an adapter to use on Dolphin.
The Wii U is great. Can you get it cheap anymore though? They've ceased production, so the price is only going to go up, right?
At first I was going to say, yeah, totally, get a Wii U! But then I remembered the console is only part of the investment.
Downloading Games: If you're like me and hate discs, you'll want to get a hard drive like this one. The Wii U only has 32GB of internal storage and some games take a lot of space. For example, Smash Bros is 15.6GB. And yes, you need a weird external USB hard drive with its own wall plug since the console won't provide enough power on its own.
Multi-Player: If you want to play with other people, you'll need some more controllers. Got any WiiMotes laying around? Those work, though many games like Nintendo Land require the Wii Motion Plus ones specifically.
Playing Smash Properly: If you really want the authentic Smash Bros experience, you'll also need a GameCube adaptor or two and a bunch of GameCube controllers. You can use up to 8 controllers in this way.
The costs start to add up a bit. Though, maybe just for me because I like Smash Bros. There's a lot of other good games on there though. Definitely check out Mario 3D World.
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE
Or the official WiiU one.
yeah no I found an adapter. Just need a controller.
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1501131388&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=gamecube%2Bcontroller%2Badapter%2Bfor%2BPC&amp;th=1
There's an official adapter for up to four gamecube controllers (or eight with two of those but without rumble support) on the switch (since a lot of smb fans love it):
https://www.amazon.com/GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B07DJX3ZR8/
Mayflash offers the same for a quarter of the price:
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE/
And they even brought a smb special edition gc controller:
https://www.amazon.com/GameCube-Controller-Super-Ultimate-nintendo-switch/dp/B07DJX3Y47/
&#x200B;
If you already own a gc controller this might be the best option. It's a shame they didn't include some analog triggers in the first place.
Phone or tablet with SD835 or SD845 (855 soon)

You do not need to carry both of them around. You can use the button re-mapper function on the included smashbox's software to mimic the hitbox layout. It will support all fighting games that offer legacy controller support, if you have a mayflash adaptor (https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE?th=1).
I have the following re-mapped profile saved and simply load it up if i want to use it as a hitbox. You won't have a PS button, but you will have start/options.
This would be the button reassignment (compare with PS4 controller)

- Set Mayflash adapter switch to “PC” for use on PS4.
I never use my right thumb for up, only the left thumb. So, it works for me. You can also dual mod the smashbox by installing a ps4+ brook board or Brook UFB in it and switch back and forth between the PCBs if you want your PS button, touchpad button, etc. It may be your ALL-BOX!! : )

Sure do! You can use the one that accompanies a Wii U, but I use this one. If you are looking for a place to do some matchmaking, check out Anther's Ladder. I can normally find a match in under a minute, and Project M is much less popular than melee. There are guides for setting up Netplay on that website, and that whole community is super friendly.
I own this adapter and it works well.
Although Xbox controllers are certainly 'plug-and-play' (as you might expect, since Microsoft owns both Xbox and Windows), if you get the Mayflash 4-port Gamecube adapter, Gamecube controllers will also require no setup. The official Wii U adapter also works, but I think you have to install some drivers first (which is still really easy).
The 4 port one. This one http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE
The mayflash adapter should work fine. Also, I flaired your post this time, but please remember to flair all of your posts from now on.

See if you can buy a Mayflash adaptor. They have a switch on the back that makes them work effectively like a Wii u adaptor.
They normally go for about $20

I personally use a mayflash adapter and it works great on the Switch for Ultimate and as a bonus you can use it on PC.
Mayflash gamecube adapter for 16 bucks
Some people like hooking up other controllers, another great thing about gaming on PC. The Steam Controller works amazingly well for Wii motion games for example. Or you could hook up a GameCube controller using this to play Melee or Brawl.
I use this [GameCube adapter] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_kJ7zzb0N32T89) with a white USB type c OTG I found in the audio section at Walmart.

I use one of these, which has a WiiU mode/PC mode switch on the back.
I start it before, then load the game. Try both modes of input if you can't get it working.
I personally use a Mayflash adapter, so I have a dedicated PC Mode on the adapter. I'd suggest using that if you can't get it working at all.

Honestly, I tried a USB controller and I never could get it to work. I’ve been using Mayflash’s USB GC hub for years and it’s worked perfectly even with my Wavebird.
Really easy to setup for Dolphin too.
This tutorial says you can use the official adapter but the same method works for this too
I have a couple of controller questions. I'm currently trying to assemble a collection of platform specific controllers to give a bit more authentic feel.
First I'm wanting to go wireless Gamecube and I currently own a trio of Wii-U Battle Pads, 2 are PDP one is Hori. I'm debating between picking up the Mayflash wireless Wii adapter or a pair of Wavebirds and a Mayflash USB adapter. Will the Battle Pads get the job done in Dolphin and if so would they be recognized properly(I'm assuming the Wavebirds will)? The former route is definitely has the financial advantage as would look much better next to my Mario and Luigi Wiimotes(provided I can ever get Win10 to connect to them).
My second question is regarding Colecovision and Intellivision controllers. A while back I stumbled on a site that offered an adapter bundle that would do Coleco, Intellivision, Atari, and a few other old controllers. Unfortunately I didn't bookmark it and haven't yet been able to find it again. I do remember the bundle was very pricey but to me seemed to be worth it. Does anyone have a clue what I might be looking for?
Have heard only bad things about the 2 port, not sure if it actually has any issues but still probably best to avoid it. Get the 4 port instead. amazon link
edit: Here's the official smashladder controller guide. Definitely read this if you haven't already.

Just play on your PC, it's super easy to use and theres virtually no input lag. Much more convenient because you can load up PM instantly rather than waiting forever on the Wii, plus you can play vs others online
Haven't used that one, but this one is generally considered the best AAIK. Longer cable than Nintendo's and works easy on PC.
[This] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_oaSMAbKFBNEYF) is what I've been using for the past 3 years and it works great.
ive heard people saying that about this adapter but this one shouldnt have any input lag afaik
I use this one for RoA, Melee and PM:
http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE
Not sure of model, but I bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1451490964&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=mayflash+gamecube+adapter
I just noticed that it says that the adapter works with mac under the PC mode. Does this mean I have to run my mac through bootcamp? It works fine with one controller, just nothing more than that.
The wii u GC controllers work, yeah
There isn't a universal adapter, but they're only two main choices
This is what I use, so I can vouch for it personally

So nintendo's official gamecube adapter for wii U doesn't work on pc. Something like this will though: https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=pd_sim_147_3?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B00RSXRLUE&amp;pd_rd_r=H67HFMSJTDDS2FNT44MZ&amp;pd_rd_w=ycOMg&amp;pd_rd_wg=p0vdg&amp;refRID=H67HFMSJTDDS2FNT44MZ&amp;th=1
Ah, that's a shame. I'm pretty sure only the mayflash one works.
https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/
It's not particularly expensive, so if you really want to play with gamecube controllers, you should get it.
(By cheap one that works on the wiiU, do you mean the official nintendo one? I'm unaware of any that work on the wiiU aside from the mayflash one and nintendo's official one)
This: and don't skimp. Get the rPi 3, get one of these, disassemble it, and wire it up to the controller ports on the game cube, use the power supply to power one of these internally, and get one of these and wire it up to the power switch. Then figure a way to reuse one of the back ports with an HDMI extender.
... or whatever.
If you're coming from smash like I did you could buy an adapter for your game cube controller

I just use the PDP GC controller. $20-$25 bucks, it feels like a GC controller and his digital shoulder buttons. Its USB so you don't need a GC adapter. Looks sweet too.

Could I ask for two small things that go together?
A Mayflash GameCube Adapter, because the GC controller is the easiest for me to use w/ a disability

Go get a mayflash one, or any other knock off. They work just a well (if not better: PC mode).
The one with 2 ports is not natively supported by dolphin, and that's most likely what is causing the input lag. I had this adapter a while ago and it lagged pretty bad (I'm assuming this is the one you have?). I recently bought this adapter and have almost zero noticeable lag on my 2 ms response time monitor.
> does this make the official wii u adapter better than the raphnet one now input lag wise ?
Yes. The new builds have native GC adapter support. This means the adapter will be lagless. AFAIK, the only two adapters that work natively with Dolphin are the official Wii U GC adapter, and the new Mayflash adapter.
As for the monitors, I have yet to actually try the new build with a native GC adapter. I'm anxious to see if the input lag is indeed indistinguishable from a CRT. According to the numbers I've seen in my hours upon hours of reading on this matter, a CRT will start displaying the next frame sooner than an LCD; but the LCD will finish the entire frame before the CRT. This is of course, assuming a gaming grade LCD monitor with low lag.
I think the only thing that's been holding back LCDs is the fact that most people have been using them with consoles instead of an emulator. Using a PC+emulator circumvents the issue of turning an analog signal into a digital one (console to LCD), since the PC's video card outputs a digital signal natively.
If you are talking about these, they support rumble, but don't work with VC. These act like gamecube adapters.
These are probably what you're referring to. They will have some extra lag, but will work on both Wiis and Wii Us. Anything that you can use a classic controller with, this will work with. So yes, most VC games.

I assume this is the mayflash adapter you're referring to? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RSXRLUE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I bought this in December and it works great, I've absolutely used multiple gamecube controllers at once with it. A lot of the time set up is a little fussy though. It wont always automatically detect the controllers, you have to like manually go to "Controller Set Up" and like "Search For Controllers" first. Then all of the gamecube controllers show up as USB controllers. I've used them to play Mario Kart and Nine Parchments with people~
It was this model https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RSXRLUE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1
And yes, I am using the native wiiu mode for the dolphin 5.0 version.

There's some two-for packs at that price I came across on Amazon.ca, but apparently, I need an adapter to plug them into the Switch?
Plugging these into this ... am I doing that right?
Well it is true that most 3rd party adapters suck, but specifically the Mayflash 4 Port is really good. It was pretty much the standard like 4 years ago when official adapters were out of stock for months. I mean just look at the amazon reviews. It has almost 2 thousand reviews, at 4.5 stars. Trust me, it's more than legit.
Agreed. I bought this one when the game first came out and it has worked perfectly.
This one also works natively in Dolphin. When switched to Wii U mode, it's functionally identical to the official adapter, as far as I can tell.
If you have a GameCube controller using one of these can get you set without too much trouble.
You do have to install some kind of driver in a roundabout way that I don't remember right now but a quick Google search should give you what you need.
I've been enjoying sunshine and Luigi's mansion for a year or two now with mine on both my laptop and desktop
You'll have to get an adapter too, I reccomend the mayflash 4 port: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RSXRLUE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00RSXRLUE&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=smashladder03-20&amp;linkId=KCZPS7WCLAGRYRCE
Just follow this guide to set up, it's very quick: https://www.smashladder.com/guides/view/26oz/controller-guide-2-0
Make sure to read the whole guide, USE WII U MODE NOT PC MODE FOR DOLPHIN
I use this mayflash adaptor which is only 15$ right now. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RSXRLUE?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

I'm getting tired of my old cube, and I would love to be able to play smash with my friends again. All of those who owned the game either lost their copies or left the school. I can run it on my PC but Xbox controllers just don't work the same.
I've been searching for it on Amazon for hours (on and off) and so far I've come up dry.

I actually just got the game last night as well, and I'm liking it a lot. Much nostalgia.
If you want to spend a few bucks, you can get this gamecube-to-PC controller adapter. Personally I'm playing with a 360 controller (until my custom xbone controller comes in Sept) and it works great.
The Nintendo Officially Licensed Collect and Display case would beg to differ. You have to be pretty special to think that the way you do something is the only way.
These fit them just fine.

They are really nice! You can also scan the amiibo still in the case! Sadly, I wanted to leave my Gold Mario NIB, but his card was bent, and when I opened the shipping box, I accidentally scratched the front plastic with my knife.

I understand how emulators work. What are you trying to say with that argument? Are you saying, "yeah pc's wont preform as well but they have an excuse." because thats what I'm hearing. Just because it has an excuse for running worse, doesn't mean it is as good an experience. And yes, amiibos are not downloadable content, but they are extra content so they function the same way.

Yes, similar to this one:
Wii-PRO-controller
>I wish I was able to charge the gamepad using the system itself.
3rd party option or this
> hooking up a sensor bar and trying to use that on the plane is a bit.. untenable
Hold B while starting up the Wii U, you will go straight to Wii mode without needing to select anything using a wii mote, then the gamepad has a built in sensor bar (around the camera), so you can use motion controls with just the gamepad - no sensor bar required. You can also order a classic controller pro, wii classic controller, mayflash adapter with a gamecube controller, or a knock off - all of which plug directly in to a Wii mote, but let you play with a more standard control option.
>I can't wait for this (if it's still true)! I'd love playing Mario Kart 8 with my wife when we're without a TV.
Just get 2 other controllers and switch the gamepad to display the race instead of the race/map/horn/items etc. then it's just a tiny TV
Fuck, I JUST left the house. It looks a lot like a Mini USB. Well, actually, it looks exactly like the GamePad charger cord, except black, short, and has USB on one side. Since I can't take a pic of mine, here's a link to an officially licensed one!

You'll need GameCube Adapter if you want to play SSB4 with a bunch of people.

They're selling the gamecube adapter for 22 bucks on canadian amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/Super-Smash-Bros-GameCube-Adapter/dp/B00L3LQ1FI/
I'd recommend buying the one made by Nintendohttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L3LQ1FI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1459306565&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=gamecube+adapter+wii+u&dpPl=1&dpID=31IjKqU-7TL&ref=plSrch
Here's one that's 15 bucks. The mayflash adapters work on PC and WiiU pretty well. https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1466097223&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=gamecube+adapter

this right?
I personally use a USB to gamecube adapter like this one to play gamecube games, rather than just one controller.
Absolutely nothing wrong with the Mayflash one, and it's five dollars cheaper.
If you do end up ordering online, I suggest getting this Mayflash adapter instead since it works on both Wii U and PC (there's a little switch on the back that sets the mode).
I own both the Nintendo adapter and the Mayflash adapter. Literally the exact same thing (build quality is very similar as well) except the Mayflash adapter is typically cheaper and also works on PC. You can finagle with software to get the Nintendo one to work on PC, but the Mayflash one is recognized as native D-Input.

If you wanna play optimally for when the game comes out, you should buy a Gamecube Controller adapter https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Switch/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1541148722&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=gamecube%2Badapter%2Bmayflash&amp;th=1 (this is a third party one, but it works better than the first party one.), and ofc a Gamecube controller to go with it https://www.amazon.com/GameCube-Controller-Super-Ultimate-nintendo-switch/dp/B07DJX3Y47/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1541148735&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=gamecube+controller . There are cheaper controllers, but they're all third party and not very good at all. The Gamecube controller is actually considered the only actual good controller to use for competitive , so you should buy these.
