Pre-Order Prices for Super Smash Bros. GameCube Controllers

By Jorge Ba-oh 25.06.2014 6

Pricing and pre-orders have emerged for the official and licensed GameCube controllers for Wii U.

Those wanting to recapture the classic Super Smash Bros. experience when the new game launches on Wii U will have multiple options available. PDP will launch a range of wired, character GameCube controllers for Wii U, and Nintendo will have their own official adapter for hooking up to the system.

Pre-orders have emerged for the controllers, with the character controllers going for $49.95 AUS (£27/$46 USD) on EB Australia. The Nintendo GameCube controller (Super Smash Bros. Edition) is currently available to pre-order on Amazon for $29.99 (£17), with the adapter listed for $19.99 (£12).

Thanks to C3 reader Flynnie for the tip.

Will you grab hold of any of these controllers, or the Wii U adapter?

£12 for the adapter seems pretty good considering you can use it with 4 controllers. Will definitely pick one of those up!

Sounds good to me, will probably be £15 in the UK methinks. Not too bad, and will defo pick one up for sure! That said, don't have many perfectly working GC controllers though!

I hope these will be backwards compatible with games like Mario Kart.

Ooooh its been a while since I was accredited Smilie

I had a little foresight and picked up brand new Gamecube controllers before they dissappeared off the shelves. So i still have 2 brand new controllers, plus 1 that is still in good condition and my wavebird too!

Although i am hoping there is a Wavebird that is released too!

I think i will just get the adapter although if they release that "Smash pack" with the game,adapter and controller then i will probably just get that!

Nice info, I'd like to see more character themed controllers like Samus, Link, Megaman & Little Mac. I've got my copy of GameStop's Smash Bros bundle preordered. You get Smash for Wii U, the GameCube Adapter & a special Smash Bros themed GC controller with a 10' cord length (I believe) all for $100 which is cheaper than buying each of the 3 items separately from Amazon lol!!

It is not wise to speak on subjects you do not know all facts about, nor is it smart to judge a game based on looks alone. PSN: Nintendo_Gamer 3DS: 4296-3029-7422

Yea i'd love a Samus/Metroid themed controller and a Link themed controller. Shit, i'd rather have these than over priced pieces of plastic memory cards that essentially do nothing...
