I tried two dance pads and this happened in both cases.Īfter a little trial and error, I realized that the problem occured most consistently if I had my foot pressed down on another arrow while trying to press “down” or “right”, which of course happens all the time when you play DDR the “right” way. The best I could score on “Ice Ice Baby” was a “C” on Basic. DDR would recognize the “up” and “left” arrows perfectly, but was hit or miss on the “down” and right” arrows. But dancing itself was a little more spotty. I was hopeful when I saw that the up, left, up, and down arrows seemed to work fine when making menu selections. I popped in my old copy of Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 3 and plugged in the dance pad. The first one I tried it with was my Dance Dance Revolution pad. …and then you plug the other end into a Wii remote (Note: not the Wii U unit)

You plug your old Gamecube plug into one end… With the Mayflash Adapter, you can supposedly use these controllers with the Wii U.īut does it actually work? I put it to the test. If you upgraded to a Wii U, you either had to keep your old Wii around to play games that used these, or you had to toss them. So if you’re like me and had peripherals that used GameCube plugs, anything from Dance Dance Revolution dance pads to Active Life Outdoor Challenge, Explorer, Carnival, or Extreme action pads, to the Cyberbike bike controller, suddenly you were all out of luck. In later versions of the Wii, they quietly took away these sockets, and of course they weren’t in the Wii U when it was released. Gamecube controllers have plugs that look like this, that used to plug into one of four GameCube sockets on the top of the original Wii. A company called Mayflash has released a converter that lets you use Gamecube Controllers on the Wii called the Mayflash Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii/Wii U. Here is news I’ve been waiting for for a long time.
