And frankly, it doesnt need to be more, as it wouldnt work i have a hard time getting used to that on here. The GC controller adapter is merely a bonus for hardcore Smash veterans and nothing more. Considering the WIis hardware, its another feet on its own.

Even in this case, youd need an emulator, translating either bluetooth or USB input signals and interpret them as the Wiis local GC ports. And like i said, regarding Wii mode, its basically original Wii hardware and an original Wii OS. Wanting the controller to work with each and every game on the system is pointless. To ensure that it has no input lag and a proper and steady connection, the USB port is the way to go here. This also would cause more problems than necessary, not to mention that the adapter would still need a power connection somewhere. Mapping up to four different input signals to one connection is not without flaws. If you connect the adapter via bluetooth would mean, that it gets recognized as one, single connection. Your second error lies withing "why USB in the first place" Yes, it could work with VC games, but the GCs natural button layout makes it more awkward than anything else, not to mention its inferior D-Pad compared to all WiiU compatible controllers. Its missing 4 buttons already (1 shoulder button, one face button, 2 clickable sticks) And quite honestly, that could cause more problems that it is worth.Īlso, like i said, just try to think of games that would work with it. They mainly check for bluetooth connections, which DOES require an emulator running alongside it constantly. WiiU games arent programmed to look for USB ports in search of controllers. This DOES require a massive OS patch, no matter which way you look at it.

The OS would need to be constantly running a subroutine to check for input over the USB port, emulate it and tell the game "this is input from a bluetooth Pro controller" With consoles, everything is a bit more "fixed" meaning, that its not that simple to emulate input ports.
The "easiest" way would be to emulate that signal with the adapter, which could result in input lag, since such an operation isnt accounted for and further stresses the hardware. Games are made to look for bluetooth controllers.

Wed 8th Oct It would require a massive patch so that each and every game released so far is able to read the USB ports and look for controller input.Try using a different Gamecube controller.Try different ports on the 4-port Wii U Gamecube adapter.Swap the order of the two USB cables from the adapter.Unplug and replug the USB cables from the adapter into the Switch.(Actually rebooting, not just putting it to sleep and waking it.)

My Switch is in its dock and it is (successfully) connected to a TV. However, when I connect my Gamecube controller to my Switch dock via a Wii U adapter (all genuine Nintendo parts), the controller is not recognized by the Switch - the only controller it shows as being connected are the pair of Joy-Cons.
