Players can use the Wired Fight Pad for Wii/Wii U games that support the classic controller, the classic controller pro, as well as Nintendo Virtual console games.
WARNING:
From the manufacturer
Wired Fight Pad for Wii U
Inspired by The GameCube Controller
The Wired Fight Pad for Wii U is a new line of Classic/Classic Pro Controllers from Performance Designed Products.
With minor adjustments, we have built controllers that evoke memories and feelings tied to the now classic GameCube controller.
Just plug a Wired Fight Pad into an active Wii remote, and you're set!
Officially Licensed by Nintendo
We have worked with Nintendo every step along the way to make sure that the Wired Fight Pads truly earn the Nintendo Gold Seal.
Designed Around Iconic Nintendo Characters
Each style within the Wired Fight Pad for Wii U line is based on an iconic Nintendo character.
Here you have the Mario Wired Fight Pad. With a bright red face plate, denim blue backing, black controls that match Mario's amazing moustache, and the always recognizeable Mario "M" graphic, every design element draws from Mario's classic look.
Highlights
- Officially licensed by Nintendo
- A GameCube styled Classic/Classic Pro Controller
- Based on Nintendo character designs
Wired Fight Pad Features
Full Size Right Thumbstick
We drew from the GameCube controller style, making minor adjustments along the way. The thumbsticks in the Wired Fight Pad are equal size.
A full size right thumb stick will come in handy with games where camera controls need to be smooth, as well as with precision targeting.
Dual Shoulder Buttons
Because of the classification as a Classic/Classic Pro controller, the Wired Fight Pad comes loaded with dual shoulder buttons!
Large ZL & ZR Triggers
The Wired Fight Pad controllers come with extra large ZL & ZR trigger buttons, helping prevent fingers from wandering away from the rear buttons!
Soft Touch Back Plate
The soft matte back of the Wired Fight Pad allows players to keep a grip on the controller. This provides great comfort, without being tacky or sticky!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2015Great controller. Well built, does what it says it will.
The shoulder buttons are a bit stiff and it's small for people with large hands, but the buttons will get worn in with use and most people will be able to hold it comfortably. It's exactly the same size as a Gamecube controller and a bit more comfortable due to the different shaping on the back side. It's also lighter, but doesn't feel cheap.
The sticks are more like the stick on the Gamecube controller, with the Octogon shaped setting. The second stick is better than the old c-stick.
Great to have for that one Smash or Mario Cart player that claims they'd wreck everyone else playing instead of losing if they were playing on the Gamecube.
One thing to note though, it does work with the Wii U, but does not work with several games. It emulates the Classic Controller and no the Pro Controller, so it will not work with games that don't support the Classic Controller for the Wii U. This means it's useless for Hyrule Warriors, ZombiU, and Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge, or any game that only supports the Wii U's Pro Controller. There are several so be aware that this isn't going to work for every game on the new system.
So if you're buying it as an alternate controller for the Wii U, be aware that it's not going to replace your Pro Controller. The Classic Pro Controller is not the same thing as the Wii U Pro Controller.
If you're looking for an alternative to the Pro Controller because the button placement sucks look into the Nykon Pro Commander and not this one. It's a great controller, but not what you're looking for if that is the case.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2018OMG this controller is amazing just got it today and I have a modded wiiu and this controller works so far with my vwii-wiiflow emulators,Nintendo, Sega Genesis, gba,gba color ...also works with with any wiiu game disc or downloaded I can say I'm amazed I have no more headaches with this controller and the only downside is it don't feel like a real controller but it is 99% close to feel like one ...I will deffinetly positively buy another one I'm so happy right now ty to the makers of this I recommend this to anyone who has a wiiu or Wii as working 100% all buttons and analogs are easy to use and it works universal even on GameCube games on the wiiu .
Update 6/11/2020
Well it was working just fine till about a week ago even tho it still functions but sometimes the A button gets stuck and the left stick sometimes does it’s own think like instead of turning right it turns left in a game .tried contacting seller for a replacement cause I really liked this controller but there response was I needed to start a return and my return deadline is already up so I guess I’m stuck with it like that . Will I recommend this controller yes if your lucky not to get one that one flaw after a few months .
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2015Given how terrible Nintendo has been handling their Gamecube Adapter inventory, this is a great alternative. Yes, it is basically a remodeled classic controller. However, it feels and works just like a Gamecube controller. I love the designs for all of the characters. They add an extra bit of style and help distinguish who to throw soda or cheese puffs at midway through a battle on Super Smash Bros. The two major downsides are that each Fight Pad needs to be hooked up to a Wiimote (via the port at the bottom), and that there is no vibration function. Regardless, this controller is a great alternative for those who cannot wait for the GC adapter restock (if it ever happens.)
- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2015I really love these controllers. As a huge fan of Smash Bros Melee I am at my best when I can use a gamecube controller. And these are so similar to the gamecube controller that I really like them. Although I can use the Wii U Pro controller and the tablet almost as well, I favor these controllers. They are easy to use and they are very reasonably priced. Since I already had several game cube controllers I initially wanted to just get an adapter, but I found they all were ridiculously expensive. It is worth the money. In addition it is nice that these controllers are pretty much wireless (as they only plug into a Wii controller). I have used mine pretty heavily and it seems sturdy and I have had zero problems thus far. Worth the investment.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2017Great product for a good price. If you're not willing to shell out $100+ for an original game cube controller this is a fantastic alternative. I've purchased 6 of these controllers now and they have all worked wonderfully.
ALSO!!!!
You can NOT use these controllers to play gamecube games on Wii as they plug into the Wiimote and Wiimotes aren't backwards compatible for play with gamecube games. SO If you're playing SSB Brawl or WiiU these are great. If Melee is your game these controllers will not do unless you're using an emulator or willing to get crafty.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2014the fight pad looks good but that the only thing good about it. when i got it the thing i noticed right away is how light it feel. the material feels cheap it not a good a controller to use. I will wait to get the HORI Battle Pad for Wii U.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2014THe PDP Fight Pad is a far cry from the game cube controller. The controller itself is both bulky and very light in your hands. You can no longer use L and R triggers for blocking, only throwing. You can also no longer use the L/R buttons (formerly the Z button) to throw. This pad now requires more fingers on the top of the controller.
The only positive that comes to mind is having an analog stick instead of a C stick gives a better grip for your right thumb.
Ultimately it is up to each user whether they enjoy it more than a Gamecube controller, but it is a very different feel and I would not recommend buying without trying it out first.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2015Pros:
-Responsive, better than gamecube controller
-Looks cool
Cons:
-Cheap rubber on sticks, wears out after 1-2 months of daily use
-The plastic builds up a lot of grime
I like this controller and wanted it to be my new main, but the cheap rubber material prevents it from being a home run hitter.

JoséReviewed in Mexico on September 22, 20175.0 out of 5 stars Excelente artículo
Excelente artículo, como todo control original tiene la mejor respuesta. Recuerda que debe ser usado con un Wiimote existente normal.
Jamie B.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 11, 20175.0 out of 5 stars Great for Wii Classic Pro Games and Nintendont (Gamecube Emulator)
Great works perfectly as a Wii Classic Pro controller. Exactly like a Gamecube controller plus a left shoulder button and an improved right stick aka c -stick. The only thing that is different is that the trigger are not analogue as with the Wii Classic Pro. Works with Wii and Wii U games that support the Wii Classic Pro controller and Homebrew emulators like Nintendont (Gamecube emulator).

mikiReviewed in Italy on October 5, 20165.0 out of 5 stars Ottimo e funzionale
Buon prodotto, compatibile con wii u (controllate i telecomandi utilizzabili nei vari giochi).
Per un bambino appassionato di Mario e di Smash Bros, un must. Prezzo accettabile, finora funziona perfettamente nonostante l'uso tutt'altro che delicato.
Consigliato.

G.OubReviewed in France on February 16, 20154.0 out of 5 stars Manette imitation game cube
J'ai pris cette manette pour jouer à Super Smash Bros sur Wii U.
Et je n'en suis pas déçu.
Les vrais savent que rien ne vaut une manette de game cube et c'est ce qui m'a séduit dans celle-ci pour un prix relativement correct dira-t-on.
Les seuls petits défaut sont à mon sens le câble de la manette qui est très court et le fait que celle-ci doit être connectée à une wiimote c'est ces deux petites choses qui coute une étoile au produits.
Je la recommande quand même grandement face à la pénurie de vrai manette Game Cube et d'adaptateur pour Wii U
