    Honsetly to think that they released this thing with only smash bros for wii u in mind is pretty sad its essentially $70 for the game if u wanna play it correctly and $100 if u have no gc controllers

    Plug it into the Wii U and then plug in your gamecube controllers. Works exactly as you'd expect for Smash 4.

    This adapter only works with certain games like super smash bros. If you are looking to use this on all games, be aware that if may not work.

    It's impossible for me to get over the fact you can only use this with Smash Bros and yet the PDP pads that plug into the Wii Mote are.... frustrating. Disgusted this can't be used with Mario Kart 8 etc. BUT works as advertised for Smash Bros and price is fair at $19.99 retail. Shame about the early Dec price gouging on these from other online sellers/scammers.

    Works as intended, useful for only 1 game.

    It works just fine and is of high quality but requiring this is a huge oversight on the part of Nintendo. Why would you remove the ports that came standard with the original Wii? Not to mention you can only use it with one game. It should come pre-packaged with either the game itself or the GC controllers. Having to buy it as extra just seems greedy.

    Great accessory that is a must. The USB cables could be a bit longer so those using wired controllers can sit further away, but it's been fine so far.

    It is good for what it does. They need to let you use it on more games.

    Works well although a few nit picks here and there. It feels somewhat cheap, plasticky, and light. Also requires 2 USB ports. Luckily the Wii U has 4 total allowing for up to 8 GC controllers for 8 Player smash. Also the shipping was delayed for me. Other than that, solid product.

    It's great, but it needs a little more weight to it. It falls off to easily and the cord pushes it foward. Still glad they did this though.
