Fans of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U were doubtlessly celebrating when the GameCube adapter was announced alongside the Super Smash Bros. Invitational for this year’s E3; many say that the GameCube controller offers up the best control scheme for the fighting game. Nintendo clearly underestimated its popularity, however, and gamers who didn’t preorder theirs had quite a tough time finding these in stock. Even today, a few months after release, the elusive peripheral is still difficult to find in the wild; though that looks set to change in the near future.
A page went up on GameStop’s site today offering the adapter with a controller for $49.98, with the shipments expected to come in on 1st May.
