  Scott has so many Wii U related stuff that it's only a matter of time until he makes a 5 hours long video on the complete history of the console. And I mean literally the COMPLETE history

  It’s strangely hilarious to see Scott’s face in the reflection of the metal Mario controller while he’s fidgeting with it.

  Take a drink every time scott says "It's a Gamecube controller". You'll be wasted before the 10 minute mark.

  These un-scripted videos have been really fun to watch Scott, thanks for making them

  I was at Toys R Us one day and happened to come across a number of the GameCube Adapters. I bought one impulsively for the mere fact that they were hard to come by, and honestly barely used it for Smash Wii U. Fast forward several years now to having a Switch with broken-ass joycons that drift, this adapter has now become my best friend. Amazing how I’m still using the GameCube controller three whole console generations later.

  I wonder if Nintendo knew what sort of loyalty they were creating when they made the GameCube controller.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxbvdUrHCWI&amp;t=100">1:40</a> I can confirm that the Wii U is indeed entirely capable of playing GameCube games hardware wise. Hackers have gotten it to work pretty much flawlessly. Fair enough if they didn&apos;t want to support it hardware wise, but it was baffling they never threw some of them on the eShop at least.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxbvdUrHCWI&amp;t=106">1:46</a> You can actually run GameCube ROMs on a soft modded Wii U with pretty much perfect compatibility and GameCube Controller Adapter support (Which is actually my preferred method of playing GameCube games over HDMI), so really the only reason was the disc drive and no memory card or controller ports.

  I remember thinking I would never get a GameCube controller adapter after seeing it was sold out everywhere. A year after it released, I was at a GameStop and just saw four of them hanging on one of the hooks (or whatever you call those things) just nonchalantly.

  I used to frequent smash tournaments during the Smash 4 era and honestly I never saw anyone use any of these. It makes me wonder how many people actually bought one.

  Fun fact: Power A secretly released an updated version of the GameCube style controller for the Switch, replacing the fake analog grey triggers with a more straightforward button feel
