They don't make hardware that uses it anymore, and haven't for 3 years. (That was when they dropped gamecube support from EU wiis anyway).
Despite the smash bros communities massively inflated ego, there aren't that many of them to make it worth running a manufacturing operation for antiquated hardware. Given how many near identical knockoffs there are on amazon, I presume whatever license nintendo had on the design has expired, so it's really easy to get them anyway.
ive got a heavy hand, and i can break any knock off with less than a week of casual play. Most players hate knockoffs for how cheap they are and how easily they malfunction. Nintendo stopped selling the controller even though the first WiiU supported the controller.
they are still being manufactured and sold in japan.
But NOOOO, like you said, nintendo wants NEW "innovations". The reason they are so against SSBM is because its fifteen years old (and still great) but old. As the game developer, im surprised they didnt copy/paste *cough* PORT, the old game onto their new systems, in addition to their new smashbros games. hello FF7.
Im dead serious about the GC Controllers tho; Even the new WiiU2(?) classic-style controllers are not as robust. They are better than knock off products and work with Wii, so u can play the GC disc on a first Wii; I know people who "import" controllers; however many hoops they have to jump through, just to replace their 15yr old hardware :p
because taking a "vacation" to "nintendo factory" and returning with "twenty" boxed controllers is a fun "weekend".
