anyone who really didnt expect a GC adapter to come out for the WiiU at some point was fooling themselves
all the personal squabble aside, it par for Nintendo to do this, they weren't "held at gunpoint;" its sound business acumen
That adapter will probably sell for around $30 US a pop, and then they can start reprinting fresh GC controllers for original retail price again (which varies, but is usually in the $30 US range, same as the adapter)
so if you want the "old school" experience, and lets face it, a majority will, then in order to get the full package (adapter and 4 controllers) you'll be shelling out $120 US straight to Nintendo
If anyone is being "held at gunpoint," its anyone that wonders why GC ports weren't installed on the WiiU in the first place
