I am sure you would have to pay a hefty liscense if your going to use a Nintendo controller with your game.

The addapter makes it work like a normal pc gamepad/joystick.
Nintendo can't make you pay for that.

Ya The same deal with Nintendo Game Releases, if you got ahold of a disk that can be used with a GC, then put a game on it, I dont think you could sell it in stores sayign its a Gamecube Game.

NIntendo are infamous of licensing.If you're a developer, up to 50% (I think - not sure) of profits go to nintendo. I saw it in NGC.

You are the th person to view this signature.

All you need to use is a joystick. Use the gamecube one
or the N64 one (because they are the best laid out). Don't bother
selling a game with a controller - just add keyboard control -
and mention in the game that it would be better to use a joystick
because of the analog stick.

Nintendo HAVE to make a profit from each game sold - Sony and XBOX also. The games wouldn't exist without the hardware. 50% sounds like
a lot but sales of hardware are minute compared to software. (It'll also explain why the games are so damned expensive). And you can basically buy a gamecube for the price of 2.5 games. Developing hardware costs far more. They cannot recoup their money back through hardware sales alone.
