But i was hoping to play new Smash Brothers with GC control cause the other options suck

 

This was my first concern exactly.  The Wii U controller will suffice since it has all of the buttons you need, but if it's true that the idea is to only have one of these per console, the other players may be stuck using Classic Controllers plugged into their Wii-motes.

I really hope they reissue a Wavebird-type controller that works with Wii U for Smash and any other multiplayer games where the Wii-mote is not ideal, but I'm probably just dreaming...
