I'm not getting the adapter because I want to get the Hori pad which can be used as a classic controller pro but there is no stock that I can find anywhere and my amazon.co.uk preorder said they will deliver when they have some without even a date.

Is Nintendo gonna start under sticking everything for now on. Because this really angers me that this and Bayonetta 2 were under shipped.

I'm in Germany and I bought one on Thursday. That was the only one the store had. But yesterday in another store I found three hanging around

@Hero-of-WiiU i'm still seeing a lot of bayonetta 1+2 bundles around still and they've gone down in price on amazon.

on a somewhat related note, finding amiibo in ireland is a pain. was lucky to get 2 yesterday. right now there is literally one kirby left in the country!

Pathetic, Under producing one of the biggest games and now I'm without a copy because of this

Kinda ironic, in the USA it's already a rare and overpriced item, meanwhile amazon.it still have avaiable the game bundled with the adapter, and it has a discount of 10€ even >.>;

I'm not sure how Nintendo Australia is going with demand, I know EB/JB have sold out but you can directly order one from Nintendo by calling them. I decided not to buy one since the price is too steep with the digital version and it only works on Smash, plus I think Gamecube controllers are overrated and I'm perfectly happy with the pro controller. But now I have the sudden urge to buy one since its becoming such a collectors item...

Got my adapter with the game. Had every other control option advertised, so I figured I'd complete the set, so to speak.

I ordered mine from zavvi as cheapest in UK. Was amazed I actually got it on release day as they took extra week with Mario Kart 8.
So glad as I can't play smash properly with the gamepad. And got my old Gamecube contollers down from loft too. Good luck to rest. Hope you get it in time for Christmas at least.

I am in Germany also, in Cologne area and nothing, I went to the shops and nothing sold out from day one, there was only few of them and now are gone

I don't know anyone who'd want to play this game with me Everyone is interested in first person shooters, GTA or Assassins Creed. Only Nintendo game they like is Mario Kart 8.

"my Amazon pre-order for the game and adapter bundle — along with my Smash Bros. controller — was delayed at the last moment, on the day of despatch, until 19th December;"

Well that sucks TW. Hopefully people will learn from your suffering though. Whenever I mention on here that sometimes people don't get their pre-orders there are always 2 or 3 people who say that isn't possible, a pre-order means you are getting it day one, and the people who say they didn't get their pre-order day 1 must be lieing and didn't pre-order.

Pre-orders are never a guarantee of anything, they are just a gauge of demand. And least no one should accuse you of lieing just to make a point.

You can't stop the markup vultures. I know several who bought out stores when they caught wind of low production. They are simply going to return them to retail in a month if they can't sell them for a sweet profit. Many people do this sort of thing with no shame.

I ordered a GC controller thinking that they would be sold out, what with Christmas in a few weeks I wasn't sute what to order when it came to the adaptor shall I order it with the game or without. So I wanted to head to my local game on my way to work to buy one but I never made it, it took me an hour to get work as there had been an accident! When I finally got on the game site it said that they adapters were sold out and even on Nintendo's store site it said the same. I don't understand how Ninendo can be sold out of their own product. Crazy!!
No way I will buy on on ebay but I am hoping more will be in stock soon!!

I'm probably just gonna buy a Hori Gamecube Controller if they don't sell more adapters soon since you can use it for more games unlike the adapter.

Those who want to only play smash with the GameCube controller should've preordered it. Though, to be fair, Nintendo should've anticipated this.

When Nintendo said that you were getting a deal by purchasing the Smash Bros bundle, they weren't kidding!

My Amazon pre-order was shipped by royal mail Thursday but I have yet to receive it. If it doesn't arrive today I'm just going to buy the stand alone at GAME tomorrow morning on my way to my brothers and then sell or cancel the adaptor order.

If my Wii U wasn't at my brothers house I would be super pissed right now. However I'm still playing and loving Dragon Age on my PS4 so I'm only mildly annoyed at the moment....

@Iggly Just prepare to be disappointed if you expect those third-party controllers to approximate the quality of an official GCN controller.

@ACK I don't expect them to make it at the same quality Nintendo makes them, but they should be at a decent level of quality considering it's approved by Nintendo.

I'm glad I didn't pre-order it nor bought the Hori/Pdp fight pad. I don't really like playing with the left stick used for movement anyway (and that goes to all 2D games).

I'm disappointed that the only way to play with the DPad is with the Wiimote alone. My movements are more precise with the DPad but I'm crippled with the lack of buttons or the bad buttons placement on the Wiimote.

Sadly this is yet another nail in the coffin of ever seeing GCN on the virtual console. If Nintendo ever wanted the release GCN VC games this would have been given a decent production run.

I remember during the summer months being criticized for saying I'd rather get the Hori/PDP pads than the official GC controller/adapter solution. I said that not only because of the wider compatibility, but because I knew something like this would happen. Turns out I was right. I'm only using the Pro Controller for now, but when I get a chance the PDP pad is all mine. I'll have the closest thing to a GC controller, that I can actually use outside of Super Smash Bros.

Good luck to all of you trying to find an adapter.

@TreesenHauser Same, although I would buy an adapter if it worked with ALL games, not just Smash 4.

@whodatninja To be honest, same here. That's probably the only thing that stopped me from going for it.

Certainly some potentially disappointed faces in my family... this might be the start of disappointing sales for the adapter...

I actually found a Smash bundle at one of my GameStops yesterday when I went to pick up a couple of amiibos. I bought it and sold the game to my friend for 50 bucks and kept the adapter and controller. Sure, I lose 10 on the deal, but that's better than getting price gouged on Amazon/Ebay.

Got my smash bundle from amazon. Can't find my gamecube controllers though so kinda pissed. Lol
Nintendo really do need to sort out there production issues though, no excuse for This!

?? Why the H-E double hockey sticks would anyone spend that much on something that is going to be re-stocked? This is ridiculous.

I received my Smash U + adapter bundle from Amazon yesterday. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

So glad I pre ordered mine, along with the smash GC controller and a couple of Amiibo. All arrived at 11AM yesterday! Nice prompt release day delivery. You could even say they smashed it....

Amazon told me today that I won't get my smash Bros and adapter bundle until 22nd December! Shocking delay! Made worse by the fact I got the pad delivered... Lame

under shipping stock is a great way to create the illusion things are selling out fast. money money!

Tickle me GC adapter

@Iggly Just be aware that Nintendo isn't in charge of QC for Hori, so being "approved" by them likely has no impact on the build/construction quality of the controllers.

Honestly, I'm a controller snob. I've exclusively used first-party controllers for well over a decade (excluding the occasional fight stick). I do purchase some decent third-party controllers when I see them on clearance for extra controllers for friends, but those experiences have only reinforced my allegiance to Nintendo's controllers. Even with deep discounts, I feel I save more money boning up for the much pricier official controllers.

Pre order guys! I hate to sat it but if your even a little interested in something pre order it. If you don't want it just don't pick it up and get your money back.

I pre orders the 100 pack and I'm super happy.

I wasn't able to get one. So smash bros will have to wait, sadly :/

@ACK have you tried the Hori gamecube controller? I have one and it works fine.

Here's a solution. Get over the NGC controller and move on! Seriously. I think it's dumb that some of you won't buy the game because of that controller. True fans? Psh

My local Grainger games did not have my pre order saying how it was under shipped but they said more should be in stock next week

@ThomasBW84 Are you at least getting your copy of Smash from Amazon before Dec. 19th or is your entire order on hold until the 19th?

@Knuckles I cancelled all my Amazon orders, as my GameCube adapter was in a bundle with the game. I managed to order one on Friday morning from the Ninty UK store (they're now gone) and thankfully it has actually despatched. Disappointed to not be playing Smash this weekend, but I should have it before Wednesday.

And, before anyone asks, I went for the bundle again rather than simply buying the game and adapter separately because stock on the standalone adapter is hard to get and it costs less in that set; I'm not made of money

I preordered the game with the cube adaptor from my local Grainger Games but that was the only one they had delivered.

Wow, I am so glad I got mine with the bundle!

@Nictendo64 I can play without the GCN controller, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't more comfortable and my preferred method of playing. Though the Pro Controller is almost just as comfortable to me. The thing that holds it back for me are the buttons, they're too small for my larger hands. (though that can be said for just about every other game that uses the pro controller)

It seems like Nintendo hasn't produced enough world wide.
All retailer around my place got only 1 Game+Adapter bundles. I don't know how many single adapter they had. Not much I guess. Haven's seen any. But if you don't buy the bundle right away, you make a really big mistake! No seriously. The adapter came for free here, kind of. 60€ for the Game... 61€ for the bundle... Weird discount decisions. lol

Does Nintendo know this prints money?

Where i bougth the game the open 2 times the bundle preorders, they opened them only until their stockt limit. I wonder why amazon didn't do that

Its just insane to me that with how much Nintendo has been struggling, they finally put out some products with high demand (AT HOLIDAY TIME NO LESS), and don't produce enough product, or EVEN MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT AVAILABILITY. Botched pretty bad, this could have been a nice boon for Nintendo. But they seem happy to sit back and let us wonder while people gouge the desperate for $100+ for something thats 20 bucks

As much as I love the gamecube controller and all its awesomeness, I've got to say the Pro controller is slightly better.

But I do feel bad for those having to wait to get their hands on their preferred controller input.

However, I will say that people should learn to use a proper forum for venting their frustration; a product's reviews and ratings board should be reserved for, oh I dunno, reviewing and rating the actual physical product...?...not the sideshow hokum that are the inevitable products of botched supply and demand.

In a way, I kind of like stuff like this: It reminds me of being a kid and that "hard-earned" sort of thing when it comes to finding certain hardware pieces. I'll never forget finding my brother a Wii during the first Christmas it was out, for example. Anyway, I traveled about 60 miles away from my house yesterday and checked every Target, Walmart, Kmart, and Gamestop along the way. Nobody had one, until, of course, the VERY last one. I ducked in the last Gamestop almost begrudgingly, and lo and behold, I got their very last one. The clerk was very surprised they had one, too!

Is it that hard to just supply the demand?

I would be concerned... if the GCN Controller was actually the best controller to play Smash. It's not, imo, the Wii U Pro Controller is. Regardless, I preordered one, so I got it day one.

I feel so good for preordering almost a month in advance now

saw one in game for £20

Preordered and got it day one. You never know when this stuff is going to happen, so it's best to take precautions.

Honestly, it's not worth it since the adapter works with only one game. Once you get bored with Smash, that hunk of plastic will turn into a dust magnet. Just stick to the Pro Controller people. Saves you a lot of money and frustration.

When I think about it, this reminds me of Nintendo's classic NES stocking strategy in response to the crash of 1983: "Only create enough stock as necessary to turn a decent profit, even if retailers complain stock is too low. If it sells out, make more later, if it doesn't, cut it off. It's a Nintendo product, so meeting the holiday season with gusto is crucial, but people will buy peripherals they need to make the products work any time."

A lot of peoples' purchases hinge on this. This is pretty much unacceptable. Hoping it really is a temporary hiccup based on unexpected demand and that they'll be restocked soon.

Got mine with the bundle edition as i figured the Mario Maiibo would be far more wide spread.

@Guitardude7
So, what about arcade sticks and racing wheels when you get bored with fighting and racing games ? Also just a hunk of plastic ?
And its said that the adapter is not backwards compatible, no one said that future games wont support it.
Just look at the Amiibos and the games that start adding them as an afterthought. There is no telling which game might use this thing.
Though, its unlikely, since the GC controller is missing quite a lot of buttons compared to the standard ones.

I got one for a... reasonable price online. In Denmark, the stores had absoluely NONE. But the one I got online is going to arrive on 3-5 Dec., it said...

Pre-ordered Smash WiiU on the eShop, but knew the GC Adapter would be under shipped. Preordered it from my local gamestop, and got it on release day.
There is a temporary alternative. The wired Fight Pad from PDP. A GC controller that plugs into your wiimote. Not ideal, I know, but it does work good and could hold some over until more reasonably priced stock is available. http://www.gamestop.com/wii-u/accessories/wii-u-fight-pad-controller-mario/115420

Mine arrived yesterday

Nintendo must not have expected it to do this well, otherwise there would be stock. They probably figure it's a niche, so they made like a quater of a million of these things, or something.

Sold my used one for $45. Used that money to buy 2 more at my local Gamestop. Sold those for $60 each. Impatient people are great.

I received the game/Gamecube controller adaptor bundle from shopto.net on Friday, but I also preordered a Smash branded Gamecube controller from them and due to some kind of supply problem from Nintendo (apparently), that hasn't been dispatched yet.

At least I've still got my old Wavebird to use for now

I wonder if this is what 90's parents felt with Tickle Me Elmo...

Did anyone else preorder just the game? I did, and I it still hasn't arrived~

No issue getting Gamecube controllers, but this adapter is definitely scarce in physical shops and online. It seems like a lot of retailers are only stocking Wii U games, no accessories, possibly having been burned by low sales the past couple of years, so online is the best way to get any of it.

I want one just to increase options for play. I've got two classic controller pros, I've got an import Pro Controller coming from Japan (the White one that isn't on offer in the UK) and a couple of gamecube controllers (the White Japanese Wii-era one and the new smash one that's in the post). Hopefully the nintendo UK shop will get one soon!

@FragRed Welcome to the club. That's how it is for all of us nowadays- all my coworkers just play big-name AAA blockbusters. Thankfully, that's what AI is for- play against the computer, play the Classic mode, All Star mode, Events mode- unlock all the characters and stages, etc.

And, that's why we have Nintendo communities. Start a forum topic about playing online, get some other people just like you who don't have friends with a Wii U, and go Smash together. You can also always play online with random people over the world if you want.

Oh, and you can always check online for local events in your community. I live near Madison, Wisconsin and some local bars and hangouts were advertising a Smash Bros night, come and hangout and play locally with others. So there's a number of options you can take.

Hopefully, this wakes Nintendo up to the fact that the gamecube exists in its fans. Give us some Gamecube VC.

I got the Smash Bros GameCube/Adapeter bundle, and it was delayed for about three days past release before it ended up shipping out. I started to get worried there for a second, but it did eventually come and I'm grateful for it.

This will majorly affect sales. My order has been delayed and they have not taken any money from me. I wont be buying the game without the adapter.

Does anyone know where to get the Luigi Hori controller in the UK as only place I can find is Amazon which never got it in stock for pre orders and other than that the only option I can find is Import

I decided to cave and import one from Amazon UK at the last minute (I live in the USA). It says that I should receive my order at around the 5th to 10th of December, and I hope to God that's true.

Umm... People in the uk Argos has still got stock...

Let the games begin XD

I recently bought one of these from my friend for $15. He bought two of them from Best Buy, one for him and one for his bro in the suburb but his bro didn't had Super Smash Bros. for Wii U yet so he sold it to me for $15. Best deal ever I had to say. Sucks for those who didn't get the thing early, even more disturbing are those who buy this just to re-sell em for jack up prices online. Not helping the Super Smash Bros. community at all.

I was out of luck on this thing, nowhere had it in Chicago... I walked into my local gamestop for something completely unrelated and I over heard the two employees talking about a pre-ordered GameCube adapter that the customer still hasn't picked up. So I jumped right in and asked about that sucka, he was over two days late and I got to go home awesomely with a brand new $20 adapter on a stroke of luck.

I finally got mine yesterday, and I now find that I've actually gotten used to the Wii U gamepad. Folks, the gamepad works really well for Smash.

I have been unable to get one. I almost want to get the wireless $25 gamecube controller replicas. I am starting to wonder why I would pay $20 for an adapter that works for one game. Oh well, I will get one eventually.

@Einherjar Actually yes, those are just hunks of pastic that you'll only use once and never again! Great example! Oh and on top of that, they weren't eighty freaking dollars.

And Nintendo clearly stated that the adapter will only work with Smash Wii U. They ruled out and possible usage for future games. it's ONLY for Smash. You can't even navigate the Wii U menu with it.

I'll get mine when they do gamecube games on the VC because really... the Pro controller is better for Wii U games in general.

This is ridiculous to say the least. Im stuck using the cc pro... Some C sticks inputs dont come out sharp enough and i lose jumps at times and its hard to get use to the bumper buttons for me that is. I really regret not pre ordering this one out the gate, once again never again.

Of course Nintendo didn't produce many, it is a novelty item for crying out loud! When word got out that they were going fast because of the fanboy hype, people started hoarding them just to overprice them. Well, that's all Nintendo's fault naturally...

Seeing as I feel that the classic controller pro and gamepad work perfectly fine this doesn't concern me one bit. That and the fact that I expected this seeing as the adapter was only made to accomodate Smash players they were obviously not planning on making a ton of them. Still sucks for people who wanted them though.

Causing "frustration?" sigh, should have preordered it then like I did. Tough luck. Use the Pro Controller which is great.

@SphericalCrusher I did pre-order and I'm still without my Smash Bros. + GameCube Adapter bundle, as are many others that pre-ordered.

So happy I got one when I did, would not like to deal with all this madness.

I don't get this at all. I like the GameCube pad but the Pro Controller is my favorite gamepad, period.

Nintendo want to sell more wii u's but then make it difficult for the casual buyer to even bother. This is the sort of thing that gets people excited, but then give up bothering when there's effort needed.

I'm pissed with amazon, I knew about the adapter but the date was set for 31st dec, then I get an email to pre-order smash bros but it only showed the game. I would of pre-ordered if I'd seen the bundle.

Now I hate game stop employees, they are so smarmy. They have copies but they are for people who preordered and they say the only way you can ever get one is on amazon third party or ebay at extortionate prices.

I wasted time going to target and toys r us as they never had it. Best buy did but say they just sold the last one every time I get to a store.

I can't stand this rarity bs. I'm up for paying $100. Not downloading illegally, actually buying and they say tough luck. I'm on my second wind of video games as having kids got me into it again but I'm getting a headache buying this might stop bothering. Buy a bike.

Damn this sucks. Gamestop and Bestbuy told me to wait till the first week of December. Really hope they have some. Frys did allow ya to still buy some and have them shipped in by December 9, but they reached the limit.

Really hoping that stores get them soon or see Nintendo put it up on their website directly.

@MeddlingIdiot Preordered where? Every person I know that has it, preordered theirs. I know lots of people complaining but they didn't. If you preordered from a local store, then they must have had a shipping error and got less than what they were supposed to get. Our GameStops got more.

My adapter ordered from French Amazon started its journey on Thursday. I ordered two controllers as well and they are bit delayed, said it will be shipping on 6th ( If google translate was right )

Even in my tiny country, adapterbundles are sold out - I don't know if stores got those versions at all - maybe they have Amiibo ones (I ordered game online, but in Fri picked up Link Amiibo from store but really didn't pay attention to their stock.)

UK Amazon has price has ogne up for 20 pounds for the controller. With the logo. "Old", white, official costs 24 pounds

Italian Amazon seems to have a few adapters and few adapter bundles, with reasonable price (25e adapter, 55e bundle, which is NICE. Tho I don't know their shipping rates)

@Guitardude7 Exactly, an arcade stick isnt 80 bucks, its around 100+
And a racing wheel is also not 80 bucks. The newest one, for the Xbone is around 400.
Also, nintendo outrules quite a lot of things and changes it by demand. Dont poop your pants over such a novelty item. Buy it or dont, no ones is forcing you.
Heck, this thing only exists because of fan demands, so people wanted it "only" for smash.

@robwop i shouldn't think a casual buyer would even know there was GameCube controller support, just look for the system and the game.

Really this isn't all Nintendo's fault, but retailers who have stopped selling their stuff. I can't get a Pro Controller anywhere but online. Honestly outside of used Wii games I don't even bother with the shops any more, so it just would have been nice if Nintendo made more of them or limited them to two per customer.

@Sean_Aaron I think Super Smash Bros, along with Black Friday deals and being the holiday season has caught many retailers out, at least here in the UK, when it comes to Nintendo related products. I couldn't find a Pro Controller anywhere yesterday.

Seriously where can I buy one, everywhere is sold out

In the UK...

GAME in Orpington seemed to have plenty of everything on Friday. (except Drive Club PS4 bundles)

@MeddlingIdiot I pre-ordered from Shopto on Wednesday and it arrived on Friday, maybe Amazon didn't order enough idk.

@SphericalCrusher Amazon. I received an email from them at 2am on the morning I was meant to receive it, basically saying there's been a problem and that I'll have to wait until December 19th. I emailed them back and they blamed Nintendo for screwing up supply. I cancelled the order and went with Shopto who supposedly had some in stock according the their website, but I've still not had any dispatch confirmation...

Well I pre ordered from Amazon and as yet nothing. My amiibo were shipped as expected, but game and adapter bundle not yet. Currently showing an expected delivery of tomorrow but as it's not shipped I'm not holding my breath. Personally I blame Amazon. They knew how much stock they ordered. Don't keep accepting pre orders if you can't cover them.

Only silver lining is I'm spending so much time on Hyrule Warriors, I still haven't touched Bayonetta, so shouldn't run out of games.

Don't really want to get a fully wired up GC controller that wires directly into the console.Got the wired fight pad instead (yoshi edition) which wires into wiiuremote. GC controller effectively but also can be usedas a classic controller in vc games as well as others. Played 8 player smash with 7 players in the living room & an amiibo y'day with this controller as well as a 3ds, wii u gamepad, 2 wii remotes & nunchucks, wii u pro controller, wii u classsic controller pro. Worked brillinatly & was a phenomenal experience

@FragRed you might be right, but I didn't even see a space at GAME for anything but a couple of those Hori fight pads that act like Classic Controllers. Of course things could be worse: Tesco doesn't even bother with Nintendo at all it seems!

My local Game store (Norwich) was woefully under stocked with bundles, not enough to fulfil in store pre orders and the stand alone adaptor was also very limited, my brother picked up one of the few pads they had available. I'm waiting for my bundle and a controller which they said they're hoping to get in this week. Was a similar story with bayoneta bundles too

@RIC616 A lot of the problem is Nintendo's end, the retailers request stock and Nintendo say you can have X amount, so Amazon could ask for (let's say) 100 units but only be delivered 20 from the initial batch

@Sean_Aaron Same with my local sainsburys.

It hasn't even released in every country. ;P
The release in Finland isn't until sometime Q1...

I looked through every Euro Amazon site, and I could find stock in the Italian, Spanish and French Amazon sites, but only a few would ship to Finland and those were not cheap when including the postage.

On Thu-Fri night I managed to make an order from Amazon Germany and the state of the order is "Expected to ship on Dec. 1.-2." so fingers crossed!

Frustrating, most like, but no issue for me, as I have no problem with and in fact have gotten quite used to the Pro Controller. Plus, I never have enough people around to suddenly have need for my GameCube controllers. Eight-player Smash is likely never happening at my house.

@steveo_1983
Exactly! One of my local stores only got THREE of the Game+Adapter -bundles - and it was a GameStop!

Well, I'm no too bothered. I've got a copy of the SSB bundle on back order, but I already put down a deposit.

My brother actually pre ordered the game I'm getting, but he got sick of waiting so he just happened to find one at gamestop, so he's giving his pre order to me! yay!

@steveo_1983 You can easily notice this is Nintendo's problem by looking at the Nintendo UK online store. If it wasn't their fault then there would still be stock available but that's not the case. In fact, the adapter (both on its own and with the game) has been removed from the site.

@Sean_Aaron I'm talking about people who played the gc version (or wii version with controllers). Stopped playing video games because they grew up and found a way back in when they saw the adapter/controller combo. But in the end when it's a pain to get say "can't be arsed". I know plenty of people who've said this and I'm only still trying due to my OCD tendencies.

@robwop I only have GameCube controllers because I have a Wii and a couple of GameCube games I play on it, so it would nice to also be able to use them to play Smash Bros. U. If I was coming into the Wii U cold and I wanted to use a GameCube-style controller, I'd get a Wii U bundle with a remote and the Hori fight pad, though I admit that would be more outlay than this adapter and a GC pad or two.

I think Nintendo didn't expect this kind of demand so hopefully they'll do another run of these adapters. I note that the adapter has completely disappeared from the UK Nintendo online store - not sure what to make of that; hopefully it doesn't mean that's it for these adapters!

Not sure if others made this point already but remember Nintendo has to fight for shelf space in these stores, and based on the wii I and late wii track records, they don't get much space. When I got my preorder package at best buy (went early as my gut said they would get wiped out) they only had a few stock on the shelf and the amiibo a were already heavily dented.

Point is, there are retail realities that are beyond Nintendos control. You can bet the exclusive amiibos are a retail strat, just as the adapter shortages

Yikes! Even the cheap Mayflash adapter I got last year (to plug Gamecube controllers into Wiimotes) has jumped up 200%! This is insanity.

Meh on the Game Cube adapters and I have piles of controllers laying around. I just bought a Mario PDP controller because I can use it with anything. Also what's up with the supposed Bayonetta shortages? I just walked into Target and bought one.

@Grumblevolcano Both Pkmn Ruby/Sapphire steelbook editions disappeared from the site around early November then mysteriously came back around the 17th which is when I decided to place an order before they disappeared again. I have no idea why they disappeared only to come back but hey, maybe the same thing will happen with Smash.

I had one in my hands...and wanted one...but couldn't use it right now since my Wii U died so I didn't buy it.

SOMEONE SLAP ME.

I'm annoyed the adapter has disappeared from a lot of webshops over here...You can't even preorder one right now. Ditto for the 2 Smash bundles.

I just had the base game pre-ordered, but when I arrived to pick it up on launch day (at EB Games), the manager asked me if I wanted to upgrade to the bundle. They had one extra bundle, as someone had just cancelled their preorder. I'm so glad I jumped at the chance and snatched that bundle!

That Wii-U console should just be built with 4 GC ports right into it. Stop d*cking around Nintendo

And bring the Wavebird back into production

I am a big smashbros fan, and have played all the versions up to brawl. I have 7 siblings that are coming for Christmas and have a great desire to play the new smashbros for Wii U will all of them and not switching off. I was kind of shocked that the adapters are gone everywhere! I'm glad they are going to restock, i just hope they do it soon, so i can play it with my family.

No! I want the adapter and can't find it either. I'm so mad. I'm probably going to end up paying that $100 for it on amazon.

@MeddlingIdiot I am in the same boat, man. I preordered the bundle way ahead of time at Best Buy, but I could not make it there the first day to pick it up. By the time I got there they had already given it to another customer as they had oversold preorders. The irony is they sent me a reminder email to pick it up an hour before I went to the store, even though they were all gone the day before. I am so disappointed in Best Buy and Nintendo for under shipping. It is the Skyward Sword controller bundle all over again....
