## Description

desertcart.com: Mayflash Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii/Wii U : Video Games

Review: A Must Buy for Fans of the Gamecube Controller. - I was a little reluctant to purchase this after seeing that a lot of people were saying that this product is not compatible with Wii Motion Plus remotes and I can confirm that it is NOT true. This product lets you use your Nintendo Gamecube controller in place of the Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro. There is no input lag on this device at all and the packaging tells you on the back what the buttons are mapped to, the only button that the Gamecube controller would be missing is the "ZL" button so not every game is 100% compatible but most games that support the Classic Controller will be. I tested this on a 3rd party GC controller (Nyko Airflo) as well as the official Nintendo GC controller and had no problems at all. Despite what the packaging says, the Gamecube controller CANNOT work as a Wii U Pro controller, and the device DOESN'T support the rumble feature that the GC controllers used because of being read as a Classic Controller. A list of Wii U games that support the Classic Controller can be found on the internet, also you can look on the back of the game's box to see if it supports them, I had tested this device on a standard Wii remote, Wii remote with external motion plus add on, and a Wii remote that had motion plus built in(Wii Remote Plus) and it worked flawlessly on each of them every time. I had played Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, Rayman Legends Challenge app, and Super Smash Brothers Brawl and all of those games were able to use the GC controller at its fullest. There is also a turbo button feature that you to map any of the buttons to (Only one button at a time though), but I used this just long enough to see if it worked and it did. The only problem that I had with this product was that the GC input seemed a little loose but not enough to pull the plug out by accident so I can't take off for that. I recommend this device to anyone that likes the GC controller and want to use it in the upcoming Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart 8. I will definitely be purchasing more of these devices and more GC controllers in the near future. Purchased from TOTALCONSOLE. EDIT: UPDATE 4/5/2014 I am still using this product and at almost a year later it is still going strong. I have come to love this product so much that I have ordered 3 more of these adapters in prep for Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart 8. I play Super Mario 3D World often and the Gamecube controller in my preferred way to play... Despite missing the "ZL" button it has the "ZR" button and both of them have the same function in this game so you will be able to get the most out of the GC controller in SM3DW. I also forgot to mention its compatibility with games on the Virtual Console... All I can say is that it works! EDIT: UPDATE 4/14/2014 I mentioned in the last update that I had purchased 3 more adapters, and I have been testing them. I can still say that this product is great! I tested all of them with several different GC controllers and they never gave me any problems... The 3 extra adapters worked just as well as the first one that I bought a year ago, but I also noticed they all had the same problem... I mentioned in my initial review that the adapter that I received had a loose input. The other adapters also had the same loose input, but once again I did not have a problem with it slipping out of the port with natural playing... With that said I tried moving erratically and was able to cause the controller to become unplugged, my suggestion is to just not get too into the game! My 5 star rating still stands as I have never had any problems out of this product, the loose input was worth looking into because of the many reviews on desertcart that mention it as a major flaw with the device, and it does seem to exist with all of these units. EDIT: UPDATE 6/2/2014 Nintendo has now announced their own Gamecube controller adapter for the Wii U and Super Smash Brothers, but I think as it will only be compatible with that game (as of when it launches). Nintendo may come out with updates for older games such as Mario Kart 8 to officially support Gamecube controllers, so as of now consumers can still find use out of the Mayflash adapter in games that support the Classic Controller including Mario Kart 8 and most Virtual Console titles. Also, as of this update all four of my adapters still perform perfectly.
Review: Didn't work. It didn't work! - We bought this in order to play Super Smash Bros on our Wii U. We start the game up and it didn't work. One of them connected and it seemed okay, for some reason the other refused to recognize it. Okay, try another remote, it connects, we hit start. nothing. hit it rapidly it until it goes, characters come up....then they just start moving on their own. We run left, and it just stops sometimes. The b button went off at random. I don't get it. Given that we purchased two of them I think its safe to say we didn't just get two defects, and the product is unstable. I would suggest not buying this, IT DIDN'T WORK, simple as that, returning right now.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work for Super Smash Bros for the Wii U?**
A: Yes but it will not play exactly like a GameCube Controller would. This adapter causes the Wii U to recognize the controller as a Classic Controller, and some liberties had to be taken in order to make this happen. For example, the shoulder buttons on the Cube Controller are pressure sensitive and the Classic Controller's are not, so this adapter will not read the degree of pressure you're putting on the shoulder buttons. You have to press the GameCube Controller's shoulder buttons all the way down in order for the console to recognize it as a button press. For a more faithful and high quality adapter, I recommend the official adapter (the one with four Controller ports that plugs into the Wii U's USBs). I own both and after using the official one, I'm never going back to using the Mayflash one.

**Q: Does this work with the Wireless Wavebird controller? I've seen some ppl say yes, others say no. If you have TRIED YOURSELF, let me know the answer.**
A: I have tried this with the wireless Wavebird controller, and performance is EXTREMELY poor. The controller intermittently disconnects and reconnects, and the neutral position of the analog stick keeps getting reset, which makes games impossible to play. I have 4 different wavebird controllers and this was a problem on every single one of them. Do not use this with a Wavebird, it won't work. Sorry.

**Q: I cannot get the turbo light to stop blinking. This device is useless in Wii U mode. Tried tapping the button twice to erase settings but it wont?**
A: You need to use an original wiimote with the mayflash adapter. If you are using the wii motion plus wiimote the light will continually blink and the controller will not work.

**Q: If I buy multiple adapters and plug them all into Wii motes, can me and some friends play brawl simultaneously at the same time?**
A: I'm not 100% certain but I do know that Nintendo is releasing a multi port GameCube controller with the release of the new Smash Brothers which will be released at the end of the year. With the multi port adapter you can use for GameCube controllers all at once.... The price for the Nintendo GameCube multi port adapter is $19.99.

### ⭐ Didn't work. It didn't work!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best and only adapter for Gamecube on Wii U
*by N***S on October 14, 2013*

So my title describes this adapter very well, though the adapter is actually quite good. At first when I tried it out by connecting it into a Wii remote and then plugging in a controller, the cursor was slowly moving toward the top of the screen. I simply unplugged the adapter (leaving the controller attached) and plugged it back in again. Usually this is a common problem when the joystick is offcenter when the controller is connected, but this time that wasn't the case. Despite this connect and reconnect, it hasn't happened since. The responsiveness despite going from a controller, through the adapter, through the wii remote and back to the Wii U is still very precise and responsive. I was very impressed. Because the adapter is emulating a classic controller, the start button does need to be pressed twice quickly to function as a typical "START" button press. Pressing and holding the same button for several seconds will bring up the HOME screen. This isn't a problem at all in game and is just an fyi for anyone purchasing this adapter, as this is the way it has to be. With that said, this is a great controller and is highly recommended if you prefer your Gamecube controller and plan on picking up Smash Bros and or Mario Kart next year. This adapter works for any and all things from Wii U games supporting the Classic Controller to Wii mode on the Wii U and everything supporting the classic controller there. Also works well on the original Wii, should you simply need to have the controller used in a location that is further than the cable would reach the Wii.
