## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why would I want this over my exsiting switch controller? Are there advantages?**
A: First, you'd also need the adapter which is an extra 20 bucks or so. That might be a dealbreaker for you already. If not, there's a couple of reasons. Second, this controller is the way Smash was "made" to be played. Specifically, it was the controller that started it all with Smash moving to the popular and competitive scene. This controller's button layout is designed specifically for the mechanics of the game. The larger A button is easier to touch for your more common attacks. The smaller B button is for less commonly used special attacks. And, depending on whether you prefer to use the control to jump, the Y and X buttons surround the A button making combining aerial attacks more intuitive. Third, this controller tends to be more "smash friendly" unlike the pro controller. The pro controller (which I also own) follows the design of the Xbox 360 controller which feels really nice, but is really set up with opposing thumbsticks, uniform buttons, and shallower hand grips for ease of use in games different from smash (such as first and third-person shooters). Finally, compared to the regular switch controller (whether you're using the charging dock or the regular controller dock), there is no contest. The switch controller tends to make it difficult to play for extended periods of time. Additionally, the smaller buttons make for more difficult precise combinations. All of this is on top of the fact that the gamecube controller is one of the most durable controllers ever made (not hyperbole - the gamecube came out in 2001 and I've STILL got controllers from that era that work, and they've been dropped, thrown, and yanked out of the system).

Hope this long diatribe answers your question. :)

**Q: How will 4 people using the GameCube controllers all connect the controllers to the switch?**
A: There is a dongle, adapter with 4 GC controller ports on it, coming for the Switch as well. ASIN: B07DJX3ZR8

**Q: Will this still work on GameCube and wii?**
A: Yes.

**Q: Is this an official Nintendo controller?**
A: It is officially branded but does not feel like any other official GameCube controller I own.  In particular, the left stick and C-stick have much tighter resistance which makes it feel more similar to some 3rd party controllers I've tried.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Casual's Non-Sweaty Melee Player Review
*by R***. on November 3, 2018*

I don't play Smash Bros Melee or Smash for WiiU religiously like some of the reviewers here.I'm not critiquing each and every individual button press and wondering how light or heavy the trigger pulls are.I bought it so I could have a good and new GameCube controller for when Smash Ultimate comes out and so I could play the game *casually*.And on the topic, good and new is a simple way to put my thoughts on it. It's a solid build and just as high quality as how an official Nintendo product should be.The wire is long and durable. The plug end fits snugly in my third-party adapter. The controller gets identified immediately after plugging it in and pressing the A button.The cardboard packaging is clean and simple, albeit a tad bit difficult to open without tearing the box itself (I wanted to try to keep it nice and neat). Inside, the controller is wrapped in a thick plastic baggie inside of a cardboard frame, no foam cushions or anything.I did not have any problems with input lag or drifting thumbsticks.I did not have any problems with chipped paint or flimsy buttons/triggers.I did not have any problems with weak or broken cables.The buttons are clean and easy to press.The thumbsticks are grippy and responsive.The controller's grainy-textured material feels comfortable to hold, but just try not to get any Cheeto fingers all over it for everyone's sake.Overall: if you're looking for a new official GameCube controller that doesn't cost several hundred dollars, then I highly suggests jumping on this. Who knows if it's gonna be a limited run or not.P.S. This is my own individual experience. It may differ from person to person.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Im satisfied with my purchase
*by J***O on August 19, 2025*

I just received this controller and I’m really impressed. The packaging was neat and everything arrived in perfect condition. The controller feels sturdy but lightweight, and the grip is comfortable for long gaming sessions. The buttons and joysticks are very responsive, with no noticeable delay. It connected quickly to my console, and I haven’t had any issues so far. Overall, great value for the price, I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable controller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally, a quality GC controller that's not a billion dollars.
*by P***R on November 2, 2018*

I had been WAITING for what felt like forever to buy a Smash 4 Gamecube controller, and the price of the controller was just not going down ($145.00 at the time of writing for the white Japan-exclusive). I could not justify spending that sum of money on a device that should only cost $25.00 (which it did, at one time, and I bought one for my brother in June of 2016).So when Nintendo announced they were going to be selling Smash Bros Ultimate Gamecube controllers, I immediately navigated to Amazon.com and sought it out, praying the price wasn't outrageous. Thirty bucks! I smashed that 1-click-buy button faster than OJ Simpson's white Bronco.It came in the mail today and felt great in my hands. Yes, it is made with cheaper materials than the OG Gamecube controllers, and yes, it has a matte finish (which I really enjoy nonetheless), but it performs as you'd expect a brand new Nintendo Gamecube controller to perform—flawlessly! I've been on this controller since Melee was released in 2001, and let me tell you, go with the Nintendo GC controllers, there are no rivals.It's not your Xbox One Elite, or your Dualshock 4—it's an OG Gamecube controller, fresh from a Chinese factory and so ready to get some Smash on!
