Yes

Still have a WaveBird? They're compatible with the #GameCube Controller Adapter for #WiiU! pic.twitter.com/Ls6olp3cCZ

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

That's really cool!

I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

That's great!

But the GC controller has only one L button and the Wii U two... And no clickable sticks and no select or home button.
Let's see how Tekken will play with a GC controller, probably worse...

Well that certainly makes the adapter more valuable. Glad it's not exclusively for Smash Bros.

Please Criterion, patch Need for Speed: Most Wanted U to support the Gamecube controller's analog triggers.

Also just remembered I will now be able to enjoy Wind Waker the classic way. Good list of supported (non-VC) games here. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wii_U_games_that_use_the_Wii_U_Pro_Controller

Knew this was going to happen. Now I can use my three GameCube controllers for Mario Kart 8! I wonder if we can change the buttons for Super Mario 3D World as well.

Edit: Oh wait A button is also jump!
