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. ## Features - Built in Turbo - Compatible with all games supported by the Wii Classic Controller - Compatible with all games supported by the Wii Classic Controller Pro - The button A, B, X, Y, L, R and Z can be customized with Turbo ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BS520SG | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars (659) | | Date First Available | March 28, 2013 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2.47 ounces | | Item model number | 6902013012305 | | Manufacturer | Mayflash | | Product Dimensions | 3.54 x 0.79 x 1.57 inches; 2.47 ounces | | Type of item | Accessory | ## Images ![Mayflash Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii/Wii U - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811gazwX8wL.jpg) ![Mayflash Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii/Wii U - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8123ymWwWlL.jpg) ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must Buy for Fans of the Gamecube Controller. *by Z***K on July 11, 2013* 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.

It didn't work! *by T***R on September 10, 2013* We bought this in order to play Super Smash Bros on our Wii U. We start the game up and it didn't work.

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.

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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Brawl *by C***N on April 14, 2014* I've switched all of my Wii playing to the Wii U since its WiiMode upscales to 1080p and you have the added benefit of a digital signal through HDMI versus the not as crisp component image of the original Wii. One of the downsides was no longer being able to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl with a GameCube controller; it's always felt awkward to me to use a Classic Controller for this game, having played so many years of Melee. This adapter fixes that problem and far as I can tell is highly responsive with no lag or cutting out even with my Japanese import white GameCube controller with a six-foot cord. WaveBirds work great as well, so long as nothing is blocking the path from the controller to the receiver. (WaveBirds had this problem even on the GameCube itself.) The only slight annoyance is the function of the Start button: pressing it once acts as the Select (-) button on a Classic Controller, so you have to rapidly press it twice to have it actually work as a Start (+) button. It's not a huge problem, and it makes sense to do it this way if you intend to use it for any Virtual Console games that have an important in-game use for Select--like Super Metroid, for example (Select to switch weapons)--but it can feel a little tedious when all you wanna do is choose a game mode or pause the game and needing to press it twice. Apparently this adapter has troubles with Wii MotionPlus remotes. I've not tested it with one, but just passing that along. I own two of these, ordered six months apart, and both were sold by TOTALCONSOLE (fulfilled by Amazon) as they usually have the lowest price. No problems where that's concerned. Now I can Brawl with a friend. Save the cardboard back of the packaging so you have the instructions on how the Start button and Turbo functionality work. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/242729-mayflash-nintendo-gamecube-controller-adapter-for-wii-wii-u](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/242729-mayflash-nintendo-gamecube-controller-adapter-for-wii-wii-u) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
