if it even comes to fruition, i'd love it
i'm sure lots of people would buy it, since even on the wii and it's version of smash, people used the gamecube controller

I have a 3rd party accessory that plugs into a wiimote and maps the classic controller's buttons onto a gamecube controller and all in all that works really well. Of course I would have to buy more of those in order to use more gamecube controllers for multiplayers games. If this actually comes out and the price is reasonable I would definitely buy it.

This is a smart move Nintendo.

Smarter move would have been to make the WiiU include actual controller ports =/

Would be kind of strange tbh.
The controller is pretty compact for what it is, while being put on the console... I don't know personally. I don't use my Wii U for on screen play lol

Throw the audience a bone for a game that's going to be an over-hyped flop.
