Can you use this controller to play GameCube games on the Wii? Something like Soul Calibur 2?

Nope. You'll need a Gamecube controller along with a GameCube memory card to play GameCube games. You mostly use the classic controller for Virtual Console games

You can literally use any controller: the old Wii controllers work as well as the standard one that comes with the Wii U. I prefer the Wii U wireless controllers they made for the system

Just tried it and it does not work in any mode. I have a couple of virtual consol games including the n64 majoras mask and ocarina of time, and it still asks for classic controller to be plugged into the wii remote port.

I use this with my Wii, Gamecube, and other game systems and it works perfectly. No problems yet (2 months in).

Yes, any sort of remote that works on the Wii works on the Wii U (except for gamecube controllers...for now)

Actually you can; if you have a Nintendo Gamecube system just use one of those controls instead. But fair warning it really doesn't make that much of a difference with how challenging the controls are. But still a fun game none the less. This games real challenges your skills in gaming.

unlikely. Originally Nintendo said that Gamecube controller would be supported by anything that uses a pro controller, but they updated later that it would only be supported with Smash. They might change their mind again, but currently the answer is no.

Yes it will most definitely work on wii consoles. I use it all the time on mine, mostly for mario kart wii and it's great! The box it comes in is written in Japanese though. Bottom line is, yes it does work for U.S. Wii consoles and it is an official nintendo product! It is the exact same as the original gamecube controller but they extended the cable which is even better. I hope this helps!

No it is not. The Wii U does not have ports for the GameCube controllers unfortunately. There are adapters that allow the Wii Remote on the Wii U to treat the GameCube controller as a Classic controller. It's a nice option. Be warned though that the triggers are not analog through the adapter and all the buttons become digital because of the adapter.

It is not backwards compatible with gamecube games, only Wii games. A GameCube game would probably break your Wii u. Most of the original wiis are GameCube backwards compatible with GameCube controller ports. The controller, not unless you have the GameCube controller adapter

Yes, you can use the Wii U's gamepad. Alternatively, you can also use the Wii U's regular pro controller, and the Wii's classic controller and Wii remote.

Sadly, no. Not yet anyway. However, Nintendo has announced they plan to release an adapter for game cube controllers in time for Super Smash Bros.

To my knowledge, it only works to connect Wii Classic Controller style controllers to a computer via USB port. I don't make the product nor do I professionally test it. I'm mainly using it for emulation and other games I can get that will support it.

This is only compatible with the Wii U. You will need to get a Classic Controller to hook into the Wii Remote to get a similar experience on the Wii.

I have this and the directions state "This converter is designed for Wii only ! Pls do not connect with other devices" So it's not to be used with the WiiU.

We bought the Smash Brother bundle that included the adapter for the Wii U and it works great! Don't see a difference that adapter or just playing straight from the Gamecube. The cables work well with Gamecube controllers And the new Smash controller.

Only Wii games r compatible with the Wii Classic Controller, unless the game itself has a label saying it is compatible...
