Looks like GameStop isn’t the only one offering hard-to-find Smash Bros. accessories via in-store orders.

Contrary to rumors, the Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U, which allows you to plug in up to four GameCube controllers per adapter for use with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, has not been discontinued, and Nintendo promised that more would be on the way. They are in fact on the way, but if you simply cannot wait much longer, it appears that some Best Buy locations can order the adapter for you right now.

It will require you to head to a nearby brick-and-mortar Best Buy location and place a warehouse order with customer service, but as long as the adapter is that the warehouse for that particular store, you could potentially stake your claim on one within minutes. Interested? We’ll include the details for you after the break!

You’ll need to head over to your store’s customer service desk and ask to place an OMS order from the warehouse. If they seem confused, kindly ask them to launch the Order Management System from POS and follow the instructions. If you’re in the United States, the controller adapter’s SKU is #7522006. For Canada, it’s Code Web #10172249.

Shipping to your home should be free, but you should also be able to choose in-store pickup if that’s the route you want to go. The adapter will run the standard MSRP of $19.99; no forced bundles here. Also note that this cannot be done over the phone.

If all is successful, you should be able to receive your adapter(s) in anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks, but it will almost certainly be quicker and less stressful than waiting until the warehouse distributes them to store locations and trying your luck at tracking one down. Huge thanks to Reddit user PulltoOpen for the heads up.
