Reddit reviews PDP Wired Fight Pad for Wii U - Mario

This might interest you. It's functionally a classic controller, but it has the form factor of the GameCube controller.

If I were you, I would look into using the fight pad. It reports itself to the Wii as a classic controller pro and so should be compatible with all games that work with the classic controller pro, but it is shaped like a GameCube controller.

I've never used one because I have a white Wii that accepts actual GameCube controllers. However, this is what I would look into if I were in your situation. It is an officially licensed product, so it should be of pretty good quality I would think.

PDP Fight Pad = October 30 (Look pretty bad, like goatlink said)

HORI Battle Pad = November 21 (Look pretty good !)

But if you want, there's always the Mayflash adapter, to plug a Gamecube controller into your Wiimote. I have one, works great.

No, he's talking about theses things:

You would need a classic controller to play them. Unfortunately, the only game that the GCN controller is compatible with is SSB4. But if you want a GameCube styled classic controller then you could get one of these

You're getting the classic confused with the GameCube controller here. GameCube Controllers with the adapter can only be used for Smash. Classic Controllers (also 3rd party ones like PDP Fight Pad) plug into the bottom of wii remotes (in place of the nunchuck) and can be used with most Wii and Wii U games.

Also, check out the Controller Infographic link on the side bar.

ALSO dude by the way I don't know if you saw some of the other responses to my comment, but there are other alternatives that may work better. Somebody just linked me this fightpad that I'd actually never even seen before, which appears to be a duplicate of the gamecube controller. It plugs into your wiimote.

I've never used one so I can't really comment on whether or not this better, but definitely check this out if you haven't already ordered a pro controller :D

This

It's a Classic Controller (Plugs into the nunchuck slot of the WiiMote)

Edit: I'm using two of them myself and it's not bad. Can't compare to a WiiUPRo controller or a GC controller right now. Of note: I always used a Wavebird for Melee/Brawl. (Yeah, super-casual I know.)

If you do want a gamecube controller which works with other games you could get one of these and hori makes a similar controller that you could try out as well.

I have one of the pdp controllers and the only difference between it and an authentic controller is that the c stick is a normal classic controller stick, and that it plugs into a wiimote making it wireless.

I have used Wii classic controllers, Mario fight pads, and gamecube controllers for Nintendont. This is my favorite for the gamecube games, because it's wireless due to plugging into a wiimote.

just use a wiimote with a gamecube style classic controller and it works great as well. though not as hacktacular as using the GC adapter or some other gamepad.

Have you ever used either the Hori Battlepad or similar PDP Fight Pad? If so, can you compare this controller to either of those?

The Hori Gamepad is the best third party controller I've ever used, though still not up to the original. I'd love to know if this is as good as the Hori controller or better before buying one.

Just a PDP Fighting Pad variation.

You cannot use gamecube controllers, however you can plug PDP fightpads into your wii-mote and use those, they feel almost identical http://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSJA

Also Know that Owning a Wii U means you have access to those Wii games as well and the Wii U comes with an HDMI Cable so it's much more useful then a Wii since most new TVs don't have a Composite out or even a Component out.

Also Know that to play any of these games on either Wii or Wii U (which ever one you get) you're gonna need a Wiimote + one of these:

The PDP Fight Pad

The Classic Controller

or The Classic Controller Pro

A remade verion of the game will never happen on the Wii U.. but there is an option for you ;)

• On your Wii U go to into Wii mode.
  
  
• Visit the Shopping Channel
  
  
• Search Virtual Console games filtered on N64 games
  
  
• Find Majora's Mask (it's there, I know for 100% sure)
  
  
• Buy it (need credit card or you need to buy a $/€10 eShop card (or equal value depending on your location) which will count as 1000 points in the Wii Shopping Channel, unfortunately you can't tranfer money from the eShop to Shopping Channel)
  
  
• Now you can play MM on your Wii U in Wii mode :)
  
  Please note though: Because this is a Wii VC title you can only play with controllers made for the regular Wii, so you'll need a Wii Classic (Pro = black one) controller like this to be able to play the game.
  
  These controllers can be plugged into the Wii mote.
  
  Recently Nintendo also released GameCube controllers that can be connected to the Wii-mote. They are officially licenced products so they will work :)
  
  

He might mean the hori battle pad or the pdp fight pad

He's talking about about this:

It's a classic controller, not a GC controller. It just looks like a GC controller. You don't need the GC Controller adapter, you just need a Wiimote to plug it into.

It's not really meant to be a recreation of the gamecube controller, it's moreso just the same shape and button layout. The sticks are more like the classic controller's. I haven't personally used one of these, but I think they look pretty nice. One of the common complaints about the gamecube controller is that the c-stick is so different from the main analogue stick, and this fixes that.

But what about these?

They have the +/- and home buttons as well as 4 shoulder buttons and different sticks... ?

All in all, I can't see why this particular example wouldn't work like a Wii U Pro.

If it's still no good, then that's really disappointing.

I'm honestly pretty content with the Wii U Fight Pad (not a referral link). The differences in feel are pretty minor and it's a nice responsive controller that doesn't require any new hardware.

Do you know if I can play gamecube game with this controller and nintendont ?

They're called "[Wired Fight Pads] (https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSJA)", apparently.

Hasn't been released yet. Amazon says March 20th.

I like these glossier ones better

I managed to snag mine early, but another thing I looked into was the PDP Wii U version of the Gamecube controller. To clarify, it's a Wii U Controller done in the style of a Gamecube controller that wires into a WiiMote much like a classic controller for the Wii. I don't know how it performs and would like to think its a good replacement, and if I manage to get a test run on it and am satisfied might look into getting one as a 3rd Wii U Controller.


Does anyone have any experience with the PDP Controller, actually?
