    It's the best there is (at one thing).

    The Gamecube Adaptor does one thing: Connects four Gamcube controllers to a Wii U for a proper game of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. There's currently no other games supported, so only pick it up if you Smash best with a Gamecube controller.

    If you're serious about Smash, this is a must. The bundle featuring one controller, this adapter and the game was a hot seller so for those who missed out I recommend this. Ideal control scheme for this type of game.

    Great product. Nintendo made a wise decision when they decided to produce this. Works with all GameCube controllers, no lag.

    The adapter works as advertised and doesn't really have any cons. The only complaint is that Gamecube controllers only worth with Super Smash Bros right now (though that isn't a fault of this product.)

    Fact that this works with the wavebird was all I cared about, and it works just fine. Time for some 8-player smash!

    The GameCube controller is probably one of the best controller for playing this game, meaning that this GameCube Adapter is a must have.

    The GameCube controller adapter is a must have for all fans of the Super Smash series. There's no comparison between the game pad or pro-controller and a Gamecube-style controller!

    Pretty neat adapter for the Wii U. The best part is that it can be used on PC by installing vJoy drivers for the adapter.

    This is a first rate Nintendo product. It acts as a nice extension cord on its own, giving you more freedom of movement with your gamecube controllers.

    It's hard to find these, but I preordered at Best Buy and got mine reasonably close to the Smash Bros launch so I can't complain. One you do have one, it works perfectly, just like GCN controllers did in Melee and Brawl. They really are a cut above Pro controllers or any other Wii U option.
