Reddit mentions of Gamecube Controller Connection Tap for Wii U

Now if ONLY I could buy the adapter that's required!

For less than this!!!

I am not sure why the Japanese accessories are cheaper on Amazon... but I'm glad there's no region-lock on controllers!


Official Japanese GC Connection Tap - ~$35


Japanese Wii U PRO controller - ~$45


Refurb Wii Motion Plus and Nunchuck -~$25

This is the offical one from Nintendo. And this is Mayflash's version of the same product. Both should perform as good as the other in Dolphin.

Mayflash's version has a PC mode though, where you can use you GC controller as a generic input device. Plus it's jus a third of the price. Then again Nintendo products are known for their resilience.

IMO Mayflash's has a better price-performance ratio. I would buy that one.

You should buy either the 4 port mayflash or the official wii u gamecube to usb adapter. Both of these make dolphin feel just like the gamecube in terms of controller inputs.

4 port mayflash: https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487737578&sr=8-1&keywords=4+port+mayflash

Official Wii U: https://www.amazon.com/Gamecube-Controller-Connection-Tap-Wii-U/dp/B00O9GPB00/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1487737600&sr=8-5&keywords=wii+u+gamecube+adapter

I have the 4 port mayflash and it works flawlessly. A guide to setting them up in dolphin is found here: https://www.smashladder.com/guides/view/26oz/controller-guide-2-0

Again, no.

You can either use one of these with your GameCube controllers (don't buy it there, that price is not right)

Or one of these new controllers that are exactly the same as the GameCube Controllers but have a USB connector instead of the GameCube connector, so you can plug it in directly to your Wii U

Yeah sure man, either get the Mayflash adapter (which I'd recommend because it has "native" mode, and PC mode, so you can freely use it with other games besides dolphin):

Or you can get the official Nintendo adapter, which looks better and also works (and you've got the official Nintendo quality):
