CCC Says: "Today, Nintendo announced a bit of information that has a lot of gamers angry. A while back, when they first announced the Nintendo Gamecube Controller Adapter, they suggested that the Gamecube controller would be usable on games that support the Wii U Pro controller. However, now it seems as if that is not the case. In a statement issued to Gamespot, Nintendo said that Smash is the only game that will take advantage of the Gamecube Controller Adapter. The statement read as follows:
"The GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U is compatible with Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U specifically - it is not compatible with any other Wii U software."
Masahiro Sakurai, the director of Super Smash Bros., explains why he believes online play isn't a good fit for the series.
I feel bad for Smash fans. Those guys have been trying to maintain the scene active for 20+ years and get nothing but hate from Nintendo.
Sakurai explains how he and Nintendo still don't understand how the internet works.
FTFY
I’m sorry, but if a game is MP then there’s no f*cking argument that can justify no online MP. What he says about competition being different from just playing with friends shows me how out of touch these people are.
It’s not until a new generation that understands things steps in to clean-house that we’ll see some evolution here.
It's a big fighting game so online multiplayer is a must. Competitive smash is the only thing I see fun in these games anymore asides from the big character reveals, singleplayer is laughable and you ain't gunna have people over for couch gaming much.
If Nintendo makes a new smash, it needs a huge evolution for singleplayer/couch play to be enjoyable for me any more. But we all know they'll just do a deluxe edition for their next console lol. They really need to up their servers as well.
he sounds more like is trying to justify Nintendo ineptitude to create a proper network infrastructure in order to Smash Brothers work properly online.
Wii U recently celebrated its tenth anniversary, and in honor of the occasion, new data has revealed the top ten best-selling games of all time in the United States.
Xenoblade Chronicles X needs a remake when Switch 2 comes out! The game was fantastic, and it looked great! Better than most Switch games.
It isn't going to happen though. Monolith soft said "it is way too big", and would be too costly. I would absolutely buy that again, especially a remake or even a remaster.
Xenoblade Chronicles X should have sold better.
Thank you homebrew community for breathing life into the system Nintendo spent years trying to forget.
One of my favourite systems for homebrew along with the Xbox, vita and ps2
Please port Xenoblade Chronicles X, I'm shocked it hasn't happened yet since everything else pretty much got ported to the Switch.
There are few franchises that seem to have been played by almost everyone in the world at least once. Standing with titans like Pac-Man, Mario Kart, and Call of Duty, Super Smash Bros. is a household name.
Been playing Smash Bros. since the original came out and this is one list I can whole heartedly agree on.
Kinda interested in the game (Switch), but its consistently high price combined with 2 equally expensive Season Passes means I’ll probably never get to own/play it.
theres unofficial nintendo gamecube adapters and people say it works on other games like kart 8 and 3d world
you can see videos of it on youtube too so I think it will work just it has a little lag so theyre saying it wont work
Most Wii U software would not work with the GameCube controller anyway. There are way more buttons now. Maybe in the future Nintendo will have GameCube games on the eshop, which was talked about when the Wii U came out.
Well of course you hate it.
An unnecessarily large amount of gamers, lately, seem to want to find a reason to hate on absolutely everything Nintendo does lately, even to the extent of blowing up small issues into larger ones via inane articles.
It's the "popular" thing to do right now.
Doesn't make it fair, but it is what it is.
I was really disappointed when I learned that this was SmashBros4 exclusive. I really wanted to use this on Wii mode because I still want to be able to Brawl with a gamecube controller now that I don't have a regular Wii anymore.
And for those who are going to talk shit, yes I really enjoyed Brawl, deal with it. It's a game I'd still go back to now and then because I never find it boring to play.
Then buy a GC adapter for Wiimote.
