So besides adding the promised video capture feature, system update 4.0.0 apparently also added support for the Gamecube controller USB-adapter for the Wii U, although they didn't announce it. And unlike the Wii U that only used it for Smash Bros, its inputs are seemingly treated like the Pro Controller buttons. In other words it works more or less with supposedly all games that uses the Pro Controller.
The Z button is mapped to ZR and Start/Pause is mapped to the Plus button, but there's seemingly no way to press Minus button or ZL button. And of course it's missing the sensors, NFC-reader/writer, HD rumble, capture and home buttons as well. And if the Pro Controller doesn't have analogue shoulder buttons I guess no games will use them on the Gamecube controllers either.
But this is great news to me who like the Gamecube controller and already have a bunch of them and the adapter. It's not going to replace the Pro Controller, but it might be good for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, maybe an upcoming Smash Bros game or any game that doesn't need all those buttons and sensors.
