"A side project I want to try is using a small developer board like a BeagleBone and actually create an adapter you can plug any USB device into and use in Smash 4," he said. Which opens the door to some interesting possibilities. In theory any USB controller you can plug into it could work." "You can read in input from any other controller, format it according to the adapter message format, and then send that down to the Wii U. "The BeagleBone can also be used to implement your own USB devices, so you could implement the same message format the Wii U GC Adapter is using and instead of GC controller commands, send your own," he continued. "The actual protocol the adapter implements is just simple USB HID with some special commands, so implementing it would be easy enough to do." "I'm not trying to clone it, but with what I've found, any aspiring hacker looking for a neat project to try/hardware clone company looking to make money can easily make a compatible device," he said, before noting that using Nintendo’s specific USB VendorID / ProductID would open them up to legal action from Nintendo. Don’t expect knockoffs to compete with Nintendo’s own product, though.

It’s very possible that soon you’ll be able to pick up one of these adapters and use it on your PC.

He’s working on getting the adapter to work in Linux, and there are others in the community looking into Windows support and Wii homebrew. The BeagleBone can also be used to implement your own USB devices, so you could implement the same message format the Wii U GC Adapter is using and instead of GC controller commands, send your own," he said. "What I would like to do is to instead of simply viewing the bytes as they go over the line is to instead send them myself. The good news is that now he knows how the adapter talks to the Wii U, and this opens the door for a ton of interesting uses for the hardware. "In the end it turns out all you have to do to 'enable' the adapter is send it a single byte (0x13 to be exact) and the $60 hardware was probably overkill for simply discovering that. "A similar thing was done when the Kinect was reverse-engineered, but instead of $60 hobbyist hardware they used " he continued. "I used a USB proxy program and connected it between the Wii U and the adapter, then looked at the USB packets going over the wire using it," he explained, giving "props" to the project that made this possible. "The $60 piece of hardware was a BeagleBone Black, a Linux development board," Lelli told Polygon. But first, he needed to spend a bit of money.

Michael Lelli is a software engineer who dabbles in homebrew and emulator work as a hobby, and his latest project is trying to make that little piece of hardware much more interesting. This was a hot item, as the GameCube controller is a nearly perfect fit for the action of Smash Bros., and it sold out quickly.

Mewtwo and Lucas Amiibo are also planned for future release. More Amiibo figures are also on the way, including Dark Pit and Palutena in July, and Olimar and Pikmin, Zero Suit Samus, Bowser Jr., Gannondorf, and Dr. website where consumers can let the development team know which new fighters they would like to see enter the ring.
