The plastic feels sturdy, and very much like some of the old multitaps I used to own for the Playstation console all the way back some years ago. Two adapters could be used for eight controllers to be connected at once.Īs far as the adapter itself, it is a very solidly built accessory. The visuals on the package indicated that four controllers could be connected to the adapter, which is attached to a Y cable which goes into USB ports on the Wii U. The packaging contained no instructions, only the adapter wrapped in a mesh wrap to cushion the accessory. The boxes came crushed, and partially opened, no doubt by customs officials. The adapters, being mailed from Hong Kong, appeared to take a moderate beating in the transit. The packaging of the adapter is very simple, and very flimsy, unfortunately. Thus, Mayflash devised a solution in the form of an inexpensive adapter, priced at $20.

The only suitable location to pick up the accessory was on eBay or Amazon for insanely high prices, no doubt from people who wished to capitalize on the extremely high demand and limited supply. Nintendo sorely underestimated the demand for this little accessory, which resulted in the accessory being sold out in stores everywhere.

The adapter came out of a situation in which Nintendo of America created an accessory to allow players to use Gamecube controllers to play Super Smash Bros. I usually like to stick to first party solutions whenever possible, but in this case, the way things are heading currently a third party solution is more than acceptable.
