Pre-order This Third-Party GameCube Controller Adapter

Despite its promises last month, Nintendo still hasn't been able to properly restock the GameCube Controller Adapter. A new supply did appear on Nintendo's online shop earlier today, only to sell out within minutes. That;s is enough to make even the most patient fan go completely ballistic. If you are still in need of an adapter to get your Smash Wii U on, you might want to try a third-party option.

Mayflash, which has produced a number of quality controller adapters for PCs in the past, is set to release its own GameCube controller adapter later this month. You can pre-order it from Play-Asia right now for $19.99, the same price as the official one.

The hook with Mayflash's offering, however, is that it can also be used on PCs! With a simple switch from "Wii U" to "PC" mode, this device can turn your GC pads into USB controllers. Sure, there are methods to get your computer to read the official adapter, but Mayflash eliminates the hassle with an out-of-the-box solution. Nice!
