Don’t think they really will considering there is the official adapter that will come out around the same time as Smash 4 does.

But eh, I’m one that actually agrees that the Gamecube controller just feels the best for Smash Bros. I’m not saying all other controls are inferior. Just that I prefer to use the Gamecube controller.

Also consider this: One Wii U pro controller (Which if Nintendo wasn’t selling the adapter, would likely be the controller they’d be trying to sell us on for Smash.) is $40-50 dollars EACH. That’s just as much as the 3DS game itself or 10-20 dollars less then the Wii U version on it’s own for just one controller. If you have a sibling that likes to play Smash with you, or friends who don’t have their own Wii U that you invite over. That’s another $40-$150 dollars for just CONTROLLERS. Meanwhile, the Adapter will only be $20 (Half as much as ONE Pro Controller), and you can use the same controllers you’ve already had for years.

Even if you don’t like how Nintendo’s not going to try to make people change their control schemes. At least look at it from a “Saving Money” perspective.
