But because Mario Kart didn’t build support for the GameCube controller, this didn’t work either (if you look at the back of the Mario Kart 8 box, you’ll see it supports every other controller out there–the GamePad, the Wii Remote, the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, the Wii Classic Controller, and the Wii U Pro Controller. As much as building Wii emulation helped Wii users adopt the Wii U, I have to think building support for the GameCube controller into Wii Mode and Virtual Console games would also help win over a good chunk of the 21 million GameCube owners out there.įor my final test, I attempted to use my Cyberbike with Mario Kart 8, a Wii U game. What’s ironic is that, judging by the masses of people clamoring to get their hands on one of these (heck, they’re being resold on eBay and Amazon for over $100), Nintendo would have a money-printing machine if they managed to produce enough of them AND build reasons for users to keep using them. But I’m guessing that the executives at Nintendo didn’t want their customer service department fielding support calls for 20 year-old games and decided to keep support disabled.

It’s a shame, because from a technical point of view it really wouldn’t be that difficult (heck, just a few days after the product was released, some enterprising hackers figured out how to get it to work on PCs).

Now, it’s obvious by now that they simply didn’t touch the Wii emulation portion of the Wii U system to support this device. Again, no response at all, just this message:Īnd again with Cyberbike. I then tested it with Active Life: Outdoor Challenge. As expected, there was no response at all when I tried to use the DDR dance pad. I put the Wii U into Wii mode and tested it with Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2. Then, you plug your GameCube controllers into the other end.

Of course, that’ll use up all your USB ports, but there is a line in the manual saying that “A standard powered USB hub may be used if there are not enough open USB ports on the Wii U console.” It also points you to their site for more information. One thing I found interesting was that if you have two GameCube adapters, you can actually plug one of them into the two USB ports in back and the other into the two USB ports in front, and you’ll support up to 8 players for games that support that (which, again, is only Super Smash Bros. You start by plugging the USB plugs into the Wii U.

The additional plug is needed the enable things that need extra power like rumble and WaveBird wireless ability. On one side are four GameCube controller ports, while the other side consists of two USB plugs, one grey and one black. It feels solid and is black with an embossed Wii U logo. Here’s specifically how I went about testing:įirst, the adapter itself looks like it’s really well made. Support for it needs to be written into the software. So unlike other “adapters” like the one you use to convert, say, HDMI to DVI or USB to Ethernet, it looks like the GameCube adapter isn’t capable of having a simple adapter that just plugs and plays. This accessory is not compatible with Wii software.

Yesterday, my some miracle I got my hands on one at the Nintendo Store in New York. Still a lot of us had been holding out hope that this was just an exercise in “CYA”–that the adapter would still work on other games but they gave us these disclaimers so they didn’t have to support them if they didn’t. For purposes of those of us who use the Wii for exercise, that would open up a whole lot of Wii games for our use–the Dance Dance Revolution series, Active Life series, and Cyberbike games.įor a brief period of time they were hinting that it’d work on everything, but in recent months they’ve been very, very careful to say that it would only work with Super Smash Bros. Over the past few months, Nintendo has been a little cagey about whether their GameCube Controller Adapter for Super Smash Bros.
