Topic: $99 SSB conroller and adaptor bundle at Gamestop

Did Nintnedo Life cover this SSB bundle available for pre-order at Gamestop? $99 doesn't seem like much of a deal for a $60 game, $20 adaptor and $20 conroller but at least it gets word out about the controller and adaptor. Geting word on the street is always good.

That's... Really expensive, in my opinion. I dunno, maybe it's my inner cheapskate. I never play with GameCube controllers, but I may buy it just to have some Smash merchandise.

Yeah my gamestop is taking preorders on it so I'm definitely pre ordering and getting this version over the just the game. Also the adapter itself costs 20 dollars so as long as the gc controller is more than 20 by itself (which it most likely is) then this bundle is worth it.

Nintendo Life covered that a bundle would be made available for $99, so it's not exclusive to GameStop.

Well even better that it isn't a Gamestop exclusive, now it won't cost $149 used.

We have 3 or 4 or 5 (they're scattered throughout the house) old Gamecube compatible controllers, - all 3rd party- but they are all wireless. On the bright side my kids have bene using a Classic Pro for Smash and Mele, and we have a Wii U Pro, so I think well be ok w/o the adpator or another controller.

Still thinking on this, I have a GCN controller when I first got my Wii and wanted to try some old games that I never played. But that is by no means my favorite Smash controller, so I would probably get the adapter if more games are compatible, whether Project Cars or Cube VC.

I will comment in this thread, never being able to find it again.

Has anyone seen(am I'm sure you have) the pdp mario themed gamecube style classic controlls...that connect to wiimotes. Im leaning in that direction. Its cheaper and i really want to rid myself of wires dragging across the room. Whats the point of buying an adapter and control over one game?

Gah. I'm glad my old Gamecube controllers are still working. That price is a bit rich for my blood.

IDK $30 is quite good considering they go for $36 on Amazon for the official ones currently and more else where.

Before the adapter was officially announced, the controllers were running in the $60 range.

Been that price long before the adapter was announced.

It's too expensive for me considering it'll only really be used for one game until the Wii U gets Gamecube VC titles. The Pro Controller and Wii Remotes might cost an arm and a leg, but at least they're widely supported by the system's available software.

Fair enough I still play Melee and a few other GCN games so will be getting some controllers for spares as this seems like a good opportunity.
