Is this controller compatible with Wii U also?

It depends on what you are going for. My friends have played Super Smash Brothers Brawl with a third party adapter on the wii U. They were able to use this control to play on the wii U. I suggest looking up the, iirc, mayflash adapter for the wii U.

No, the Wii U does not have GameCube ports. However, you can make it work if you buy an adapter:http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/06/you_can_now_use_your_gamecube_pad_on_your_wii_u

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.

Nintendo just announced an official adapter today! Release date pending... http://kotaku.com/nintendo-made-a-gamecube-controller-adapter-for-wii-u-1583342868

Perhaps. There are GameCube controller adapters such as Mayflash Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii/Wii U that supposedly will allow you to play on the Wii U. I haven't tried one.The Wii U does not have GameCube ports, and games released on the Wii U aren't made with the GameCube control scheme in mind.

This controller is compatible when using the Nintendo GameCube controller Adapter for Wii U. Note that at this time, the adapter only works with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and is not recognized by the Wii U menu or any other Wii/Wii U games.

To my knowledge, currently there is not an adapter or port for this controller type on the Wii U. At least, not an officially licensed one. Considering the competitive scene for smash, however, I would not be surprised if there is a homemade connector out/on its way. Hope this helps!

After Nintendo announced the official adapter in May, all of the older answers here are rendered wrong. All gamecube controllers can be used with the Wii U with the (still unreleased but confirmed) adapter. However, as of today (August 19th) We don't know yet if the adapter will work with all wii U games, only a few, or just with Super Smash Brothers for Wii U.

It works perfectly fine with the NA console. Syncing the controller is very simple, its just pressing the sync button on the back of the game pad and the sync button on the Wii u console itself.

It can, but you would need to buy the Wii U gamecube controller adapter as well. Currently, the adapter is sold out in many places, but should go back to the original price of $20 within a few more weeks, if you wait.

No, the nintendo Wii U console it is compatible whit the nintendo wii remote w/o, the nintendo wii clasic control and the nintendo wii u pro controller.

No. Unfortunately, not. Wii games can only be played on the Wii U with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck controllers. Some of them can also be played with the Wii Classic Controller, but it depends on the game (Check the back cover). I too, have a Wii U and wish I could use my Wii U Pro Controller for playing Wii games...

Searching on the web I couldnt find any reference for this compatibility, yet, you must try searching on users guide because this controller seems to be very flexible about compat. Luck

You actually don't, most games have plenty of compatible controllers. I would recommend buying the pro controller if you find yourself uncomfortable with the wiipad.

The Pro Controller can only be recognized by the WiiU, going into Wii mode literally turns the console into a Wii so it will not "know" what a Pro Controller is anymore. You have to use either Wiimote or the origical classic controller.

It should also be noted that you can use a Gamecube controller as well with the Mayflash adapter (and of course Nintendo is releasing the official adapter with Smash Bros. later this year).edit: Mayflash Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii/Wii U

Yes it does, the only thing you'd need is the Controller Adapter for the Wii U for it to work.

As far as I know, this will **only** let you connect the Wii U Pro Controller. However, I believe you can use it to connect to a PS3 or PC. Hope this helps.

I actually haven't tried that out, I can test it out in a bit.Update: I have tested it on Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing extra to do for the controller or adapter to be detected. I gave it a go on the zsnes emulator and configured the inputs and it worked out fine for every button. Played Super Mario World on it and everything responded like it would when I'm using windows. I have yet to try other games/programs on Ubuntu.

Yes. I use this game with my Wii U, balance board, and controller with nunchuk.

The mayflash allows you to play the Gamecube controller with the Wii U. Yes it will work for the Wii U. It was the only adapter out there I could find that would let u play the Gamecube controller with the Wii U. Until Nintendo came out with the new adapter. I hope this help's U

Yes It does BUT! you have to make sure your nintendo wii is the first model, you can do this by checking the console yourself and look for 4 round holes on one of the sides of the wii, those are the terminals to connect your controller receptor. This controller works only with the games design for it, like gamecube mini dvds

Scott, this is an adapter for the computer, not the Wii U, you can however buy these for the Wii U, they work perfectly: Mayflash Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii/Wii U
