where do the gamecube controllers connect to the wii

Open the door on the top of the unit. They will plug in there and work great.

There are two flip open doors on one side for the controller ports and memory card slots.

On one of the narrow sides there is a flap that swings open. It has four Gamecube controller ports and two memory card ports.Example Image Link:http://www.product-reviews.net/wp-content/uploads/new-nintendo-wii-confirmed-slimmer-and-smaller-not-all-good-news-2.jpg

It is backwards compatible with ALL Wii mote controllers (original and with Wii motion Plus), along with all the accessories for the Wii Mote (like classic controller Pro). It does not natively support GameCube controllers but with the new adapter (shown in E3 2014) it will support both wired and wireless GameCube controllers.

Yes. Just plug it in the GameCube ports on the top of the Wii. Just be sure that your Wii has the ability to play/use GameCube games and/or controllers before buying.

Sadly, no. Not yet anyway. However, Nintendo has announced they plan to release an adapter for game cube controllers in time for Super Smash Bros.

No, this is not compatible with the Gamecube. However, you can play Gamecube games in progressive scan using this cable on a Wii.

Yes but it will not play exactly like a GameCube Controller would. This adapter causes the Wii U to recognize the controller as a Classic Controller, and some liberties had to be taken in order to make this happen. For example, the shoulder buttons on the Cube Controller are pressure sensitive and the Classic Controller's are not, so this adapter will not read the degree of pressure you're putting on the shoulder buttons. You have to press the GameCube Controller's shoulder buttons all the way down in order for the console to recognize it as a button press. For a more faithful and high quality adapter, I recommend the official adapter (the one with four Controller ports that plugs into the Wii U's USBs). I own both and after using the official one, I'm never going back to using the Mayflash one.

It should also be noted that you can use a Gamecube controller as well with the Mayflash adapter (and of course Nintendo is releasing the official adapter with Smash Bros. later this year).edit: Mayflash Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii/Wii U

Most Wii's have Gamecube ports on top, under a plastic door. Only the last 2 editions, the Mini and the Family edition(the one designed to lay flat) don't have them. Google for photos of theses two if needed...

On some titles such as Super Smash Brothers 4 and Super Mario 3-D World. Maybe Mario Cart 8...However, it works on every Wii game that supports that controller usage.

yes it does, as long as you guys have a gamecube controller adaptor (sold separately from the wii u, I think)

No, it is also compatible with the new Wii U Pro controllers that are similar to XBox controllers. The old Wii controllers also work.

To my knowledge, it only works to connect Wii Classic Controller style controllers to a computer via USB port. I don't make the product nor do I professionally test it. I'm mainly using it for emulation and other games I can get that will support it.

It'll work fine if you have the gamecube controller adapter. Personally I think it's the best because it has a longer cable than any of the other iterations of the controller. (longer cable is less tugging on the console)

You can literally use any controller: the old Wii controllers work as well as the standard one that comes with the Wii U.I prefer the Wii U wireless controllers they made for the system

This is not meant for use with the Wii. Only PC/Mac. Classic Linker N64 for Nintendo Wii and Gamecube - Classic Controller Connector for Wii and GC This is the item you want for N64 to Wii.

The GCN controller ports don't let you control the Wii Menu, it's a limitation of the Wii. If you have homebrew on your wii it can control a hacked channel like Wiiflow, but not the system menu.
