Here's Why The PowerA Wireless Gamecube Controller For The Switch Surprised Me

- The Wireless PowerA Gamecube Controller is out at the end of the month and is set up to more so compete with the Switch Pro Controller instead of the Gamecube controller on the Nintendo Switch. This controller keeps the same form factor that the original Gamecube controller had and makes the whole thing wireless through blue tooth while adding all of the necessary buttons to operate Switch games. I like what I see with this controller and I hope PowerA continues to build from this controller going forward.

why that ɔ stick backwards tho
copyrights
It's licensed though?
He put it back together wrong. It's only upside-down in a few of the shots, which I assume he took after the error.
Ypu noticed it too
grip
After a while it started drifting downwards and after hours of cleaning it and blowing out dust. It still drifts. And now the price went from $50 to $30. I feel like I got scammed
file a claim at Power A, you need to make a account and register your controller. they will send you a free one if you bought within 2 years
Jose manuel Cortes you don’t need an account ive claimed my warranty without one
This also happened to me with the enhanced wireless controller. They ended up sending me a new one but it took like a month for them to reply and send another. I wanted this one but damn powerA have done me wrong other times. Don't know what to do
Me too my c stick sometimes drifts to the right
@@JuanGomezYT My enhanced wireless ones have never permanent drifting, they have drifted in a specific direction once every 2 months but it stops when I disconnect and reconnect them.

Perfect
Ah thank you
I really wish this guy was on all vids. I usually have to spend hours scrolling through hundreds of thousands of comments to find the correct timestamps and even then sometimes they arent correct or have no timestamps at all!
This helped me a lot. I am eternally grateful.
Ikr??😂👌
Honestly, I wish Nintendo would release a GameCube style Pro Controller, that would have all the features of the GameCube controller (including analog triggers) and also have all the buttons and additions of their newest controllers. I would honestly spend $100 on such a piece.
Analog triggers would be impossible, the switch wouldn't register it
@@alexjustalexyt1144 that’s not correct. The Switch does register analog triggers. Most games don’t use them.
AFAIK the reason they no longer use analog is because of some patent troll suing them way back in the Wii era. The classic controller used analog triggers, but since then they stopped because they didn't want to pay royalties. Sony and Microsoft likely pay royalties to keep analog triggers on their controllers.
@@Ao-4That sounds incredibly untrue. Surely if it were, wouldn't that have prevented Nintendo from manufacturing new GameCube controllers in 2014 and 2018 for Smash 4 and Ultimate?
Warning to everyone wanting to get one of these. They have known issue of drifting whether you use it a lot or not. I tried to us it again a month after my last use to play some games and it would passively register the left stick upwards. It has no known fix if it starts drifting except replacing and throwing it out.
I literally just bought one too lol
Use their warranty they’ll send you another one
Mine had this issue when I first bought it, so I took it to Game and they did a few tests with it and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I took it home and since then it has actually worked fine so I have no idea what went wrong there
Don’t ever get these get original Nintendo GameCube controller
compressed air
to fix a drift issue:
Go into your calibration
Make sure the blue dot is in middle, if it drifts force it to be into the center and hold it there
Press the power button on the controller
When you turn the controller back on do not move the stick an inch but click it so you choose it for calibration again
It should be recalibrated that way that’s how I fixed my terrible drift
Powetbutton like home???
Jose Jimenez
It’s the little dot On the top of the controller. Joycons have this button too, and when you press it the controller turns off.
@@qwertyuiop1854 ohh ok thank youu i though its the sync button
@@JoseJimenez-vc7we did it fix it?
@@jaimemontanez2149 oh its battries sometimes that make it drift its weird i think i did it a diffrent way
I tried this controller myself from a friend. If you want the exact shape of the controller, this isn't for you. It may sound OCD-ish but when I felt it, the analog sticks felt weird compared to the original controller, the grips don't feel flush for the hands compared to the original controller and it feels a bit sharp when pressing down the triggers from what I can remember. If you want a wireless solution from the switch to yourself easily but use the same controller you're used to, the 8bitdo wireless adapter is your best bet, even though you are using the wire from your controller

@@shinoobigod3363 You mean professional gamers?
Damn that looks really nice, can't wait for mine to show up. I might end up trying to mod it to get rid of that analog travel if I don't like the feel of the triggers, but I'll have to play around with it first to see. Super excited though, I've been waiting for someone to make basically this exact controller for years.
I'd love to see a test for latency, like whether or not it is better or worse than a regular GCC
The feel is really important to me. I got the PDP wired controller expecting it to feel very close to the normal GC controller and it's not close. The shape is just off. So I ended up ordering a new official GameCube controller but now I'm kinda regretting not just buying the power A.
SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW IF YOU PLAN ON PLAYING COMPETITIVELY.
Wireless controllers, on average, add an extra frame of input lag. In a high interference location (tournaments) the input lag can up to 3-4. Be aware of this if you care about responsiveness.
Rechargeable batteries have gotten a lot better than they used to be. I actually prefer them these days since I can just reuse them if the controller breaks compared to proprietary batteries
I have 3 of Power A's controllers. 1 is a standard wireless replacement for the Pro controller, 1 is a standard wired replacement of the Pro controller and then the last one is a wired version of this controller and I think they did a slight change to some of the internals after they got feed back because I got mine relatively recently (in 2020) and the ZL and ZR triggers now have basically no travel. The standard wireless controller is nice (has Zelda print on it) and it's a enhanced version so it has 3 additional buttons with one being a program button and the other 2 being the programmable buttons and it has motion control support so you can use it for BOTW's motion functions as well as motion driving in Mario Kart 8. The wired standard controller is an older model that I got with my switch around the time this video came out (a couple of months before) because I got Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate and I hate the Joycons and it's held up over the year and x amount of months I've had it and still works fine. The wireless stuff now syncs up with bluetooth on a PC now easily compared to when this came out as I use my switch pro controllers for Wii games that supported the Classic Pro controller on Dolphin. I have no real issues other than I do notice the lack of the analogue functionality at times and it makes me a little sad that it's not a perfect experience but I get to use a controller that is close enough and is decent quality. Had the standard wired controller since August 2018 (got it with my switch and BOTW), had the wireless version since November of 2019 (on sale due to Black Friday) and then the Gamecube variant since February of this year. A friend did get the same wired controller as me and he's getting stick drift but idk how well he took care of it considering he kept some old PC parts in a ziploc bag (made me cringe to see it, that poor dead CPU).
Thanks you for taking this apart! Not many reviewers do this and it is very important......shows what the real quality of the item you're buying.
I'm surprised at the quality of the production your pulling off. Good job!
I got two of these about a year ago, and they’re still serving me perfectly well today. No drift or wear that I’ve noticed. I’m really happy with them, and I use them for half of my Switch games. (The other ones I want HD Rumble, a more typical button layout, or quick access to the Z buttons.)
I want to buy one but im scared its just gonna start drifting after 1 month.
Black Tiger don’t buy it
One of your best videos. Informative, accurate, appreciated. Just bought 2 wireless and 2 wired. Wireless with rumble would drain the battery faster, no loss there
Interesting note, the new revision of this the back triggers have virtually no travel.
LiquidEvilGaming oh hallelujah that’s the only thing i dislike about my wired one
What do you mean new revision. Can you send me a link
01:33 why is the controller’s c-stick like that?
Probably reinserted it upside-down after some initial disassembly.
Grid supports the analog triggers on the original GameCube controller on switch, so the switch can read the inputs. Now you know.
Grid is awesome on the Switch using the legacy GameCube wired controller with rumble.
I prefer AA batteries, Rechargeable AA batteries allow Super Quick swapping in < 60 secs without having to be wired for a significant period of time recharging while playing.
Nothing worse than having a group of poeple over playing split screen and one of the controllers run out of battery, happed all the time with my friends playstations
A lot of people are talking about their controller drifting shortly after purchase. I've had mine since launch and have over 400 hours into using it for smash and various other games and mine is still in perfect condition function wise. The only problem I've had is that the rubber on the left stick started to get rubbed off. I think I've had to replace the batteries maybe 6 times over the past year and a half? So battery life is decent. The only time I would ever think to not use this controller is when I needed to use the shoulder buttons a lot, like in Ni No Kuni. They just has a lot of travel and isn't ideal for something like that, but other wise is was my go to.
So I ordered one of these a while ago, only just got it a couple of days ago. I know the reviewer on this channel wasn't a big fan of the triggers, but I really like them. They're super responsive, but at the same time it is nearly impossible to accidentally hit them. I play smash competitively, and on several occasions I have lost an entire game by accidentally hitting the triggers of the joycons/pro controller whilst in the air, causing a lethal air dodge. The fact that these have so much space to push in before clicking is really helpful, and it isn't inconvenient at all.
Beyond that, I'll leave a little review for anyone interested.
The controller is super comfortable, with a very similar feel to holding a normal GC controller. The buttons are all very responsive, without being as sensitive as the joycon/pro controller buttons (that is, you can run your finger along with a decent amount of force without pushing the buttons in, unlike the Joycon/pro controller). There is very low input lag - Seeing little-to-no difference between your average GC controller. In fact, its likely faster due to the fact that it doesn't need an adapter. The extra bumper is nice if you want to play with an aerial reverse layout, but it isn't super helpful otherwise. It has all the usual benefits of a GC controller, such as ridged analog stick circles (or rather octogon), and the smash-friendly layout. It also seems to be very durable, although I haven't had it for long so I'll update later if it dies on me.
TL;DR. Very good alternative for a GC controller, especially for people who can't dock their switch often. If you were interested in this at all, I highly recommend it - Especially for fellow smash players (its very comfy).
Is this Frost, the same player who plays Richter Belmont at tournaments? Also, does the controller have as much sturdiness and actuation as the classic Gamecube controller as well as being able to be charged if it runs out of power? Should it be wireless or wired?
@@knealdan2mesee655 Firstly, no. I went by the username Frost before I started playing Smash, but I main Dedede/Yoshi.
In terms of sturdiness, it feels very similar to that of a normal Gamecube controller. Keep in mind I've had it less than a week, so it could still be less durable over time than a normal GC, but as of now, it seems very similarly durable and responsive.
It takes 2 AA batteries to run, so as long as you have batteries the power doesn't matter too much. Alternatively, you could invest in some rechargeable batteries, however, it does seem to have pretty good battery life.
And lastly, I prefer the fact that its wireless as it has faster input. A normal GC controller needs an adapter, which adds input lag, and a USB GC controller also needs to go through the dock first, so there's a bit of added input delay as it doesn't go straight to the switch. The Power A controllers, including the Power A GC, have the fastest input speed among controllers (correct me if I'm wrong). Its only a couple of frames faster, if that, so it doesn't matter too much, but it is nice.
Thanks! Are the buttons, C-Stick, and Directional Stick as firm as the Gamecube Controller as well? Was there also a quality with the Gamecube Controller where it allowed analog trigger presses so that it could tell when you pressed a button without completely pressing it down too? This was because I was wondering if this controller had that capability included. All in all, I like this controller as it captures the Gamecube layout with the extra pro-controller buttons no doubt, yet I am glad I can get a better understanding from someone with the controller while I am trying to match the specs and capabilities/capacities between the Power A and the regular Gamecube controller to make sure I do not jump at purchasing a game controller that only emulated the shell of a Gamecube Controller without managing to have gathered or improved on it's complete essence and qualities. I think I will try one of these.
@@knealdan2mesee655 I did read another person's review, who said that the rubber on the stick and c-stick was wearing away a bit. I don't know if this is true, but its something you may want to consider before purchasing.
I kinda like the color... Reminds me of the Wavebird
ikr
Yeah the three colours for it are GameCube purple, GameCube black, and WaveBird grey. They did a great job with the look of them.
@@sniperfox47 Spice was also a color, it was a rare color but it was an official controller color back in the day.
Jet Black eventually became the official color that replaced the OG Purple controller after Nintendo released the Jet Black GameCube
Already preordered mine before I saw this, glad I wont be disappointed haha
If you put this board in a wavebird shell, there would be space for a rechargable battery and amibo sensor, and rumble.
I bought this controller because it was wireless and great for smash bros. It broke after 1 month, the b button malfunctions and the left stick had so much drift you could navigate a menu
I saw these in target today. I am totally getting one i love GC controllers, i had one for my wii and i loved it
Matthewv1998 pussy
@@2Sickk4Yall How?
They must have revised the shoulder triggers because I’ve just bought the Pikachu version and there is no free travel
If you use Xbox one controller drivers on Windows 10 this controller works, it maps the buttons to weird seemingly random Xbox buttons, but I use it for dolphin and manually,map the buttons anyway
The wired ones are great if you want to have a couple of controllers laying around for friends, they are very good and cheap. The wireless one is a harder sell since they're so close in price to the pro controller, they also lack features the pro controller has like NFC and a very good rechargeable battery.
If you have rechargeable AA's go for the wireless one, if not then save a bit more for a pro controller, you'll save up more going that route. Now if you want spare controllers for friends look no further than the wired ones, perfect price to performance ratio.
Bought this controller when Mario Maker 2 was released and I’ve been using it ever since. It’s so nice. Thanks for a good review!
I was thinking about buying this to use for Dolphin and in general setups for any game on my computer, but the non-analog bumpers is a deal breaker..
Looks good for people who love the GC controller, and just prefer that to other controllers, but for me, I'll just stick to the Pro Controller. Overall, the Pro is a better controller. The Sticks are better, the face buttons are much better, it has a built in battery, plus, it has rumble and amiibo scan. And you can also find Pro Controller for $50-$60 online all the time. So the price isn't really competitive enough to justify it over the Pro. But that's just me.
I love both the gamecube controller and pro controller so much, I play smash very often as well, slapping a home button and capture button on this has me sold lol
If you use this controller for smash you have a better advantage me and my friend tested this yesterday anytime we used the controller we were able to fight alot better.
I mean, its fine for smash, but you don't have much of an advantage of using the controller, like at all. I have no idea why people say that
I really like it when controllers use AA. I hate custom lithium batteries. Some day it's gonna run out of cycles, and when that day comes, you're gonna have trouble replacing the damn battery.
Meanwhile you can use good LSD AA batteries, and even very long lasting (though not rechargable) lithium AA batteries. You ran out in the middle of a game? Keep a spare (like I do) and use the spare while the other ones charge. There, I don't see why people complain about xbox controllers using AA, I wouldn't want it any other way.
I feel the exact same way. Using AA batteries gives you the flexibility to use those charge packs that fit into the battery slot if that's what you want, or you can just use regular AA batteries. Plus they're future proof. I use rechargeable AA batteries, and they work for my wavebirds, wii, xbox 360, xbox one, and my older handheld systems. When the battery pack dies on my switch controllers in 10 years I won't be able to replace it nearly as easily. I applaud microsoft for sticking to AA batteries for the xbone. I hope they continue that trend in the future. We've already lost nintendo, and sony skipped straight to custom batteries with the PS3.
Lol and some day your joycons and even your switch is gonna run out of charging cycles and be docked forever.... Don't let the lipo battery's scare you, they will ALWAYS be available to order for a decent price on eBay no matter if its 20 years later someone will make them and sell them... Save money not buying batteries... LiPos these days have amazing charge rates and will only get better
@@shadeshiest22 The simple fact is that AA batteries are a standard so there will always be quality replacements available, but with a custom battery pack you're on a time limit for how long you can find OEM quality replacements. After Nintendo/Sony stop selling the battery packs, then you have to find alternatives that you mentioned "someone" sells, which are almost always cheap garbage that don't last nearly as long as the original battery did. Granted, the switch is kind of a special case, and is the only home gaming device currently on the market that actually NEEDS a custom battery.
I won't deny that it's super convenient right now that I can play my switch in handheld, or use the joycons/pro controllers that are always charged and ready to go. That kind of thing is great for now, but as a retro game collector I know that stuff is not future proof. Eventually I'll have to use shitty Chinese batteries, and eventually I won't even be able to get those. Worse yet, the switch, joycons, PS3, and PS4 controllers don't even have a convenient battery door to make that replacement, they will have to be fully taken apart to replace the battery, which is not something everyone is comfortable doing. The wii u gamepad and all pro controllers so far at least have a battery door to make that easy.
I think the best solution would be to sell the console with controllers that use AA batteries, but they should come with the battery packs that fit into the AA battery pack area as standard. That way it would be convenient for now with the rechargeable battery packs that are easily replaced by anyone, and 20 years from now when those can't be replaced by anything worth a shit, good old AA's will work just fine. That would make everyone happy without having to buy anything extra.
13:08 Why do people want built in batteries? You have to wait for them to charge and it's a hassle to replace them when they die. I have a battery of rechargeable batteries and it's so easy to swap a AA or AAA for my devices. Plus as technology improves so does the capacity.
2:20 Thank you. Jesus, it took forever for me to find someone to mention that this controller had analog stick buttons.
Great video! I've watched several reviews for this controller and I appreciate your attention to detail! I'll be picking up this controller and subscribing to your channel! Thanks for the in depth analysis!
I am thinking about buying the controller. Loved the gamecube controller and still think it is the best ever.
I tried holding the powerA version but something was off and my fingers and hands were not satisfied as with a gamecube controller.
And yes the travel for the z buttons had me confused since they do not do anything...
But as i first stated i will buy this controller since it is a good replica maybe the best gamecube controller fit atm for the switch🤔
Well I bought it and i am satisfied. This is a good gamecube replica and a good substitut until Nintendo produce and release their own updated gamecube wireless with switch buttons and upgrades for switch.
Also 1 thing i had not thought about(but maybe should have realized myself with my gamecube and switch experience) and that no one have mentioned in all the review videos i have watched is that the YXBA(and rest of the buttons)are mapped accordingly to the pro controller but located differently😪😅
Normal pro Gamecube Con
X Y
Y A B A X
B
this is anoying when you have played a game where B was jump and now i want to press A to jump due to gamecube memory and button placement🤔 minor thing but a re-map option could have been awesome.
And also the Z buttons are fine even with the extra trave.🤷♂️
“Shipping scale” lol
Honestly I really like AA batteries more than a rechargeable battery because I don’t have to worry about losing charging cables
phew... i preordered this and i was a bit worried (i ordered the cheaper wired one because bluetooth on PC seems to give me trouble) but this has put my mind at ease, thanks!
Has anyone noticed the "C" on the stick is backwards?
Stevekilla952 you right
Gabriel Prado: Its the special edition yall!
Great amount of depth in these videos!
I'mma buy it for nostalgia+features+no drift
I actually got to pick up a pre-order gold one of these from a GameStop. Someone had not shown up to pick it up and they had it out.
I just got the gold one and love it. no complaints
Who feels like non of these new control releases will be satisfying until they make gamecube joycons like Shank Mods
Ducking hell finally it’s worth to buy these. Yes I play smash but I don’t wanna drop 30+ bucks for a controller that can only play 1 game which was an issue for smash during wiiu years. The idea that they finally updated design to have left should and buttons for minus, home and share for other games is worth looking into and buy multiples now.
Someone should come up with a mod to greatly decrease the trigger's travel time. PowerA seriously dropped the ball by adding that travel time for the sake of nostalgia.
If you're looking for something to put in the triggers to decrease travel, Battle Beaver Customs sell trigger plugs you can put in once you've opened up a gamecube controller. You can choose between short and tall plugs depending on how much travel you want cut down.
Great review thanks for the info. I just purchased one this past weekend for the newest Smash!
I am very suspicious about buying controllers and joycons from companies that aren’t Nintendo but this is just amazing
If ordering from Canada. It's cheaper to go to the American Amazon and paying the import fees but I just bought the grey one :)
I love it. Iv got mine the day it came out. Worth the money. Also looks nice with my gamecube collection.
Would be perfect if it wasn't for the battery thing :( batteries are so damn expensive these days and wear out fast, the main reason I don't like Xbox controllers.
Nakura7292 get the energizer rechargeable. Bout as much as a full pack of AA batteries, and you don’t have to plug into your console like PS. You can just pop in the 2nd set of batteries you’ll charged up and keep going.
I ordered one of these in purple after watching a different review. Haven't gotten it yet as they were sold out at thanks giving. I'm curious about the other power A remotes that have come out as well as some of the other third party remotes suck as the princess peach themed GameCube remote and the horizon pad.
My experience with Power A is exclusively for the PS3 so it's dated. The only issue I had for it is every controller I had (went through 5 or 6 of them throughout the PS3's life time) is that the cross, circle, square and triangle buttons would start to stick after excessive use. Basically I ruined so many of my Power A controllers for the PS3 Titan skating on Destiny.
Built-in battery? Why though? Once the battery fucks up, you'd either A: have to get a new controller or B: risk messing up the controller while soldering in a new battery. Having traditional replaceable batteries guarantees the life span of any product.
I've been wanting something like this for a long time. I really wish it had rumble!!! Rechargeable AA batteries are cheap and everywhere. You can get 4 with a charger for $15-$20 at any department store. Anyone complaining about that is being ridiculous. It never hurts to have some rechargeable AA batteries lying around the house. They will save you a trip to the store eventually (think Christmas if nothing else).
As long as it's got motion and vibration I'm in.
Edit: Yikes.
It is a nice feeling controller. I like using it for other games besides smash as well. It is just a cool feeling to play a game like Zelda BotW with the game cube controller. I would just buy some rechargeable batteries to get around the battery problem. Anyway, awesome review.
In the interest of making the ultimate gamecube controller, why are the x and y buttons separate? Just make one combined crescent-shaped button for jumping...
for $50 usd it needs to have rumble and a battery pack and chargable while playing, and an easy fix for powerA to fix the triggers is to just increase the length of the rods that touch the membrain. the pro controller is $60 and has hd rumble and internal battery and can be charged while playing so really for $10 less normal rumble would be acceptable and you can see there is plenty of room for it =/ so theres no excuse unless it was $30 to $35 rrp.
What sucks is that mine is starting to cause drift which sucks, I guess the GameStop gameplay guarantee is actually useful in this situation😂
I want one but I'm broke asf :.(
RONSTAR08 get the wired version. Its 25 bucks. It plugs directly to the switch so no adapter needed. Its better for smash anyways because it has no input delay
@@negativelm1079 nah, what about on the go? how am I gonna connect it?
@@nowonmetube haven't heard about it on sale :[
RONSTAR08 you have the joycons bro. Bringing a other controller defeats the purpose of the switch being conveniently portable
Negative /LM10 That’s a fair point, but Smash is the one game I can see that exception being made for.
Personally I use the wired one, follows the same general points tho, it’s solid
Someone needs to make plugs for the triggers to they act like the analogue ones on the joycons/Pro-controller
Ok so as someone who bought this controller if you like just replace the leftstick with one from an original controller, the power A one is too stiff
This was the best controller. Rock solid
No rumble? Pass. It's 2019 man, not 2002.
I only ever used rumble to get a couple power moons in Odissey, didn't miss it at all.
@@Hack3r91 it's more a matter of lack of functionality, you know? In 2019, no analog triggers, no rumble/HD rumble, no NFC reader, not to mention the quality of these $50 controllers quickly deteriorated to where they feel like $15 controllers. The original GameCube controller that came out over a decade ago had analog triggers AND rumble and retailed for $20. These aren't worth the money. Seriously
@@kevin_lee_music Well, no switch controller has analog triggers and no third party controller has HD Rumble, and I also can't think of any with an NFC reader. They could have plugged in a half assed rumble motor but that wouldn't have really served the purpose, I also used mine for about 60 hours and did not fall apart at all, 50 bucks is on the pricey side but this doesn't feel like a 15 dollars controller to me. Their wired variant does feel cheaper though.
I got one of these at a ross for only $25 i love it depending on the game i even like it slightly more than the pro controller if it had rumble of any kind it would be my main switch controller
The Amazon page is full of people saying it stops working after a month or so
great review! thanks for sharing!
Don't like the color
It comes in black and purple too
Also Gold and Platinum if you buy them from Gamestop.
it is nice in many ways. the sticks, buttons and everything but the mold shape feel different then a gc controller. keep that in mind.
It seems there are a few Switch games that support analog triggers, like Trials Rising.
FIFTY???????
Too Long Didn't Watch yes broke boy 50
Soulja voice???
trials rising on switch can use the analog triggers because that game is almost unplayable without analog gas and brake
Definitely getting this when I get a Switch
These reviews lack a review of how the buttons actually feel in comparison to the original GC controller. Knock-offs usually often have a weird feel to their buttons
The fact that this thing even exists so perfectly encapsulates what’s wrong with the majority of the Smash community: they’re still stuck in the GameCube era.
Hey @Spawn Wave, have really been enjoying your videos. Do the power a thumb sticks have the same type of connectors as the original gamecube controllers? Would I be able to replace the thumbsticks on it with gamecube sticks? Or do they fit differently?
Wish it had analog triggers. Trials Rising supports the official GC controller analog triggers
No one cares.
@@assordante2205 You may not. Others do.
I got Doug demuro vibes at the start of the video ._.
You forgot to give it a dougscore
Playing Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate with it is definitely a bit of a learning curve.
I bought 4. Gamecube controller is the most comfortable controller EVER.
My Only Gripe Is The Lack Of Any Rumble. I Modded Mine With A Battery Pack, So You Can Charge It With The Same Cord That Charges Your Switch. Never Worry About Double A's Again.
But I Haven't Seen AnyThing So Far To Implement Any Kind Of Rumble. Which Is A Shame, I'd Absolutely Love To Get This Controller Rumbling
If AnyOne Knows How To Get Rumble Going For This Controller, I'd Be So Thankful
2:00 "they dont have a home!"
I have that in silver. My only problem is that it doesn't have a rumble pack in it. Yes it is close to a pro controller, but a little more classic-styled. It has tilt controls, but can't vibrate. Other than that, I like how it feels when I play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Theres such a massive delay with the ZL & ZR buttons its ridiculous. I had this and had to sell it that's how bad it is
I would definitely get this only if it used rechargeable batteries.
So this is officially licensed
Man, this looks super neat.
Too bad I live in Narnia (Norway) so actually getting my paws on one would be hell. Only retailer they have that's viable would be Amazon. And getting shit shipped to Norway from Amazon is the worst sometimes. And they're out of stock anyway. RIP.
I have this controller, and I LOVE it. I played Breath of the Wild a lot with it.
AHHHHHHHH I CAN PLAY BAYONETTA 3 WITH THAT CONTROLLER AND RESIDENT EVIL 4 WHEN IT COMES OUT FOR SWITCH
i'd love to see a review of the other gamecube pro controller, the one with the replacable c-stick.
