This is 100% the reason.

About the input lag, it can be a problem.  I was playing Marvel vs Street Fighter at my buddy's place about a week ago.  I was using my wireless Street Fighter pad.  I was trying to do Ryu's Shinkuu Hadouken right before I hit the ground.  I'd land everytime I'd do it(Never had this issue with a wired controller).  When I try that same move in Marvel vs Capcom 2 on PS3 with my Dualshock 3, it's perfectly fine.  So it "can" be an issue, but you can make it a non-issue with the right technology.


I think they could still use those spare parts, although I think this is silly since manufacturing costs for controllers is fairly low anyways, (if they really have them, which I kind of doubt) and combine them with a bluetooth chip which is pretty damn cheap anyways.

Yes, but this is Nintendo.  They're very slothful and lazy with these kinds of things.  But I guess the bigger problem is actually engineering the controller, getting patents, etc.  Why go through that mess when you can paint the plastic from unused controllers and repackage them?  Note: I'm assuming most of the new GC controllers are those Mario themed ones.  I haven't looked into the other releases of the controller.

There is those mario themed ones yes

 

and then there is an EXACT replica of the gamecube controller with an actual C stick. The only difference between that and the gamecube controller is the logo on it. One has a smash fireball the original has NIntendo Gamecube.

I dont want to see a Wavebird (wireless GC controller) for Wii U because I never asked for the option of playing with a GC controller to begin with.

I don't understand Nintendo. Why release a gamecube adaptor for wii u and not just make wireless gamecube controllers for wii u?


Because they only released it for hardcore smash fans, and any respectable fighter fan would not want to use a wireless pad as they have increased button lag.

What's different with the c sticks?

They have to have engineering designs to run the patents through.  They also need the plans for FCC approval.  You just can't make any wireless device.  It has to be in compliance regulations.  And yes, this does concern you as a consumer.  They can make an improper wireless device sending signals that are harmful to humans.  It's why these regulations exist in the first place.  also the OP is asking why a gamecube adapter.  I gave my response, a little bit of column A (Laziness on Nintendo's part) and a little bit of column B (Too much of a headache vs using what they have already).

I don't think making a new wireless controller would be an issue at all in any of those regards.

Probably not, but what can Nintendo do?  They're bound to the FCC regulations like every other company.

LOL really. You don't liek the feel of the main joy being on the c stick. Most people hate the Nintendo C stick size. Tip: Got a junk GC Controller. Hate the C-Stick. Put the grey joystick as the c stick. They're both the same type of top and fit.

I never said I hated the new one jsut pointing out the differences. one is a replica clone using parts from storage one is a modern adaptation rearranged to look like a gamecube controller.
