You could also try Retropolis in the ferocious mingle in camden street and Super Hoshin at the back of the Hairy Lemon. They are open thursday to sunday and usually have better prices than Rage.

Keep an eye on CeX too, they come in on the odd occasion.

when the super smash bros comes out for wii u they are bring back gamecube controllers to the stores every where that sells wiiu because wiiu super smash bros for wiiu is coming out with gamecube controller adapter. and the stores going have gamecube controllers as accessories for wiiu around xmas time 2014 since now super smash bros 4 and mario kart 8 uses them

Worth remembering, there are newly released Yoshi, Mario, Peach and Luigi gamecube controllers for WiiU that have the same form factor but NOT the same connector - they are GamePad Pro adapters for the WiiMote. Don't buy them expecting them to plug into a Gamecube or gamecube adapter.

And that this is a thread from last year....

Had to google those as I was only aware of the Mario and Luigi themed controllers available to the Japanese Nintendo club which were official gamecube controllers with appropriate connections. They go for a pretty penny on ebay. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiuvDJpKcjk)

The ones you are talking about are 3rd party made by PDP: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/06/e3_2014_pdp_shows_off_its_new_gamecube_styled_wired_fight_pad_for_wii_u_and_wii

and its wampy replying to himself. A double resurrection of the same thread!

I think Gamestop have them as Wii control pads, they slot into the GC controller ports on the top of most Wii consoles and so will work with GC as well.
However....
They are 3rd party controllers and as such may not pass muster compared to the real deal.
