Perfect.

Can't wait to pick up mine at launch!

 

[Jea Song]

Personally I don't see a reason to go for this bundle as I already have 2 wavebirds.
If the game is $50 and the adapter another $20 then the GC controller is like $30 in the end.
It's not quite a bargain, is it?

The game would be $60. A BRAND NEW controller would be $20,the adapter $20.

Sounds like a deal to me

 

[GregLombardi]

Will buy.


Beautiful gamecube controller. Come to me.

but that equals one hundred us dollars, the same price as the bundle

 

[rekameohs]

The controllers are selling for $30, so it's a savings of $10.

Whoo hoo.....

Thank the gods I just received the GC to Wii Classic Controller adapter to mess around.
no need to buy this

This does not emulate a Classic Controller - this straight up allows the Wii U to use Gamecube controllers, plus it has 4 ports, so it's clearly the better option.

 

[zruben]

A quick question here:

Those new gamecube controllers will work with an old GC or the gamecube ports of the Wii?

 

[shiftplusone]

For sounds like Four.

No wait that is really stupid

I would almost certainly imagine so.

lol, what a coup would it be if these controllers couldn't be used on GCN and vice versa.

I mean, it would stop people from tracking down cheap used controllers, so there's a monetary reason for Nintendo to do that

holy shit.

I know, I already have GC and Wavebirds and I can now use them for more games than Smash4. Like VC,Wii games etc.

Wireless as in Classic Controller Pro?
Hori : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ND0E604/?tag=neogaf0e-20
PDP: http://www.game.co.uk/en/Super+Smash+Bros+Mario+Gamecube+Controller+For+Wii+U-304923
I feel bad for PDP as the Hori one looks a lot better.

So these are essentially Gamecube shaped CCPs, right?

Smash 4 (Wii U)

Get it?

Yes I get it, that doesn't make using numbers as letters/words any less ridiculous

[Starwolf_UK]

Correct, plug into remote etc. The LR appear to be buttons though rather than analogue triggers. Also the PDP one seems to have them the wrong way round compared to Smash (controller mapping will fix).

 

[Lernaean]

So is this controller made by Nintendo or is it made by a third-party company?

It's most definitelly Nintendo made. The third party is this and i might get one.

Now i want a date and that bundle in Europe.

 

[Finalow]

seems like an american only bundle?

 

[jacobeid]

I've had this bundle paid off for months at GS ha.

Whoo hoo.....

NORMAL CONTROLLER DOESN'T HAVE SMASH LOGO ON IT!

 

[Vidiot]

I still don't know if I want to get this or just the game and gcn adapter without the controller. The controller looks nice, but is wired and I'd rather use my wave bird.

Digital game + adapter only for me.

Need dem boxes!

I'm sick.

 

[Inferno313]

All of these newly manufactured ones will though. Whether you buy them in the bundle or standalone.

 

[BY2K]

It will be mine.

Oh yes, it will be mine.

 

[Bisnic]

I suppose the adapter works with the Wavebird receiver right? I already have a Wavebird, so just the adapter would be enough (+ no wire!).

I believe they said it would.

 

[AdmiralMikey]

That box looks sweet! I actually preordered it from Amazon a few weeks ago before the official box design came out... and I also preordered an additional controller... and a bunch of amiibo figures... Man, my Amazon card is gonna get hit hard that day.

 

[Azuran]

Wired? Are we back in 2002 again? I know why they did it, but some options would be nice. Not all of us play 1mm away from our TV.

I'm seriously thinking I'm going to pass because my TV and system are nowhere near where I sit.

 

[Bullza2o]

Man that box looks amazing!

Has it been revealed whether or not the cord is longer on this controller? It's $10 more than the original GC controller.

I didn't wait to see and just bought a Japanese White GCN controller from Amazon. $30 so same price and I just got it today!

Then this probably isn't the device for you then.

 

[daemonic]

While this is awesome to see, it would have been even better if they sold it featuring an upgraded Wavebird with rumble.

You could use a Wavebird, or just use a Classic Controller or the Gamepad.

This is specifically for people who want wired controllers though.

Yeah, that setup makes sense. Even though I sit directly in front of my TV, I'm not really sure what to do with the adapater/cord dangling from the Wii U on the shelf where it sits. Might need to rearrange.

But still maybe check out the adapter. Should work with the wireless GCN controllers (Wavebirds) if you can track them down. Would probably have to look on ebay or something, but they're pretty nice.

If that option doesn't sound good, the Wii U Pro controller is actually not that bad for Smash. As much as I hated the Wii's Classic Controller for it, the Pro feels surprisingly good. I tried it at the Best Buy demo, and I think that option works fine.

 

[Chopper]

I can has in Europe?!

The bundle is awesome and I would have got it Day 1 if I didn't already have like 5 wired controllers. A wireless bundle as well would have been nice that's all.

 

[womp]

Time to put my Wavebird out at the yard sale. ;P

 

[Comet]

Just pre-ordered it. There goes $100!

 

[Persona7]

Has anyone tried that Hori gamecube controller? I have some of their older models and they are really good and I can use the new one on my wii as a pro controller.

 

[CRA5H]

Can they please just announce the Wii U bundle already?

 

[Persona7]

Can they please just announce the Wii U bundle already?

If they do this I will get one. Hopefully they can squeeze Mario 3D world in as well. I was waiting on a black friday deal/bundle.

 

[SephCast]

I'm so mad I have 2 wavebirds but I'm missing both receivers.

 

[npa189]

My pre-order is locked and loaded and my wavebird is waiting for its glorious opportunity to destroy fools once again. I can't believe they are making cube controllers again just for one game. Sakurai must have really put the screws to Iwata/top brass to get this to happen.

 

[Xianghua]

gamecube lives! even nintendo knows it is the best system ever

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Will older GC pads work with the adapter or is it just the one that comes with the new Smash?

 

[Fiktion]

All Gamecube controllers will work.

Good thing I kept my GC then.

 

[Not]

Mmmmmmmmm. Guess I'll pick up a Wii U and this. Gonna be one hell of a Christmas
