    I'm usually morally opposed to pre-ordering games but boy, I'm glad I did. Looking for this thing seems to be a nightmare.

    Thanks for the heads up! I snagged one for myself and one to give to a friend for Christmas.

    @irrelevantjohn: Yeah, no trace of the adapter on the Canadian store. I went to Wii U Accessories and while it still has some of the new Gamecube controllers, it didn't seem to list the adapter, which I assume means it is super duper out of stock in Canada still.

    I do believe they will continue releasing them because yesterday on amazon the bundle with the game said it will be instock on the 15th but they took it down like 5 min after without even a chance to buy it. but being that this also says in stock the 15th I don't think that was just a mistake by amazon.

    I was just wondering, can you only use 1 Gamecube adapter per Wii U? Any way to get 8 gamecube controllers on a Wii U?

    @idgit: on this site it says 8 but you probably need a adapter that ads 2 more usb ports to make it work

    Two GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U accessories are required to connect eight GameCube controllers (each sold separately)

    @frankiebeanz: There are 4 USB ports on the Wii U. Two in the front, two in the back. Using two Gamecube controller adapters works fine apparently.

    Lovely, seemed to have missed out on it by a matter of minutes or so.

    Thanks for the heads-up anyway, though.
