I have pretty much given up on the Wii U Gamecube Adapter being sold individually over winter break. It's ridiculous because they released a bundle with four Gamecube controllers + adapter, a bundle with 2 Gamecube controllers + adapter, and the original bundle with the game + adapter+ remote increased by $10 (used to be $100 but is now $110). I will not play with the Gamepad so I'm going to freeze my game in carbonite until I get one. Why, Nintendo? You made the adapters because you knew people would want to play with the Gamecube controllers, but then you only release a small quantity that are all gone day one? For shame.
