What do you guys think? Planning to pick one of these up? Let me know!
They look cool but I just bought some gulikit hall effect analogs for my joycon. They'll be here tomorrow and I have high hopes.
I actually can't wait for it to arrive. Immediately pre ordered because the Gamecube is my fav console of all time and im constantly playing on the Switch!!
Thanks 4 testing it out and also providing some gameplay footage and not only unboxing!!!
Yes
Hi, which Dragon Ball fighting game are you playing in your video? Thanks
Omg. This video helped me realize why I hate playing retro games with modern controllers - the missing hexagonal base!! I need that snappiness to keep the joystick in place, otherwise it feels sloppy to play. Amazing, thank you for pointing that out, now I know what to look for
I agree 1million percent. I hate that controllers don’t have this. My ocd loves when I’m actually going straight forward or right/left
Especially for speed running or lining up frame perfect tricks
Nah, round gates are way better for something like Super Monkey Ball
They shouldve added the stability support blocks that the Hori Splitpad got.
I am waiting for mine to get here! Super excited for it!
The GameCube controller is one of the most comfortable controllers of all time. A close second is the PS5 (although I held it for only several seconds [I'm broke don't judge me]). I'm going to get them because my joy cons keep on disconnecting without any notification. (They're up to date) and having these will be revolutionary for my switch! 😊
Edit: I broke my switch rail by punching my wizards. ☹️. I'm sad
I have this and I like them a lot. But honestly, mine actually do disconnect from time to time. More often then my joycons. It does pause thr game and notify you though. Although all I've played so far with them is MMBN
Good, concise video man. Much appreciated. In regards to the macro feature; How many button presses does it record? And does it have to be from the same "side". Meaning the right macro will only record the face buttons the right triggers and the left will only record the d-pad those triggers but neither will record a combination?
You can record up to 21 buttons and yes it only records from the same side
@@Portly I kinda figured as much. Thought I may have found my answer with the wizard but alas. Thanks for the quick response, it's much appreciated.
Tsss, me da gusto ver a un mexa hablando inglés tan perrísimamemte fluido. Por cierto... quiero ese controool!
Wow this review was really good. Awesome work, and thank you for helping me decide on my purchase
Did you end up getting one and if so do you like it?
@@paullucci so I absolutely love the controller and it has been great for me. I will say that I almost exclusively used it on the switch as I don't really play docked. If you are looking to play primarily docked, realize that this isn't identical to GameCube controller, and if you are looking for something identical to the original GameCube controller there are better options. I personally like this as it's something that gives the gamecube layout but with improvements. Was weary as I've never heard of this brand but overall I definitely recommend it, especially if you plan to use them attached to the switch in handheld mode
@@ugot1try that's exactly how I want to use it. I wanted something beefier to replace the tiny joy-cons and the promise of zero drift is very appealing. Cheers
needs to come in platinum and black.
Is it possible to snap on the analog stick caps from the original GameCube controller? You can buy these as spare parts everywhere. I aleady preordered a Niyxi Wizard.
Yes it is possible
my nyxi wizard controller just got shipped out today now i'm waiting for it to arrive to my house here in australia
Did it come?
Wondering how well these will feel playing with thengamecube controls on MP remastered
Idk why but my Spidey senses are telling me to pair this with the Orion when I get it 😂😂
The dark soul comment made my day. Awesome video. Calmly explained. I enjoyed the vid. Thank you 🙏
Hi ! Thanks for the review, it makes you want !!
Can you say if the controller is confortable for rpg or adventure games like Zelda, Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles, Pokemon... I wonder it because of the layout of XYAB buttons.
Yeah I would say I prefer it for those types of games. You tend to use the A button a lot in those and that’s what the Gamecube controller is known for
@@Portly Thanks for the answer ! I have read some complains about how you can tens/twist your wristle for keeping the screen in front of the eyes when you play in portable mode due to the inclinaison of the controller. Are you concern by that ?
@@ehlviir7643 it seems pretty comfortable in my use and I do have wrist problems. It can definitely be uncomfortable for games where you constantly use the right stick, like first person shooters.
But yes I do also see it being a problem for games where you use X and Y a lot because you move your thumb in a kind of unnatural way
@@Portly Thanks again. I just discovered your channel, i'm now following you, i appreciate your content and the time that you take to answering 👍
In particular how is playing Zelda? I'm a little hesitant because of how the ybxa are placed.
I’m your 500th like.😊
Loved the video bro.
Already preordered :3
Just got mine. Is the right stick suppose to be higher than the left stick?
I just hate that you have to charge each side independently with the cable. Why couldn't the middle plastic thing charge both at once 😫
I need this.
Hal effect sensors? I bought 2.
I just got these and tested them out. Gotta say, the Hallmark analog sticks aren't as good as I thought it was. It's very inconsistent when I tested them on precision games like Apex Legends, where your aim needs to be perfect. The right analog stick was not as accurate as I was hoping it would be. Tbh though, that's not saying too much since this is the Nintendo switch we're talking about here. If we're talking in terms of power and performance, the switch is like two whole generations behind so it's not too big a deal. I wasn't actually going to play apex legends on the switch, but it would have been nice to have the option to AND have good GameCube controllers. Other than that, everything else about the controller should just be chalked up to player preference.
Awesome review I’m still on the edge on getting one even tho it’s like 2 to 3 month away if you pre order now lol
Probably the best handheld controller right now if you dont want drift
8bitdo Ultimate and King Kong 2 guilli kit are the best for dock TV
i may have to pick one of these up lol
is there a way to remap the controllers for games like tears of kingdom? feels weird to me how the y and x is
Not gonna lie I never had a GameCube so this controller is so alien to me. That being said I’d learn to use one for no drift.
Nyxi makes other controllers that I believe don’t develop stick drift either. I’m going to invest in some of their other joycons as well when they restock the one I want. I preordered the Wizard (one in video) and it just shipped today I’m so excited
I’m curious, how tall are you? I’m 6,5”, so sometimes when people talk about reach problems it doesnt always apply; so if you don’t mind letting me know, that would be great. I have huge hands, so that little bit of context would be great for this review! Thanks
I’m 5’6” and my hands are about average for my height, so I’m sure that may be part of it
@@Portly omg thank you for answering so fast!! That’s incredibly helpful 😇
I want to use this on Metroid Prime Remastered
Snagged the black version
how bad is the wiggle when connected to the switch in handheld mode?
It’s actually not bad at all for me. Some very slight shifting if you’re trying to make it wiggle, but in normal use it’s perfectly fine
@The Portly Gamer So basically like any old joy con... nice! I've seen this other tuber wiggle the hell out of it.
Thanks a lot for this video. So far I think the sticks look kinda clicky. Analogue doesn't like the original either so I'm still not sure if I want this. I'd love to play Smash on handheld but It needs to be as og as possible for me
The bad thing is... i cant seem to find a case for these yet....
Hi all I know this is a game cube controller review but what other controller would you recommend that also stops drifting
I haven’t used it personally but the 8BitDo Ultimate is supposed to be really good. It’s definitely on my list of controllers to check out.
@@Portly thanks 😊
I want it to play gamecube games emulated on pc
Is this controller licensed by Nintendo at least ??
Im glad someone acknowledges this controller is for more than just smash since its literally a controller for an entire console. 😆
If the triggers where actually analog I would be sold. All I want is a wireless Bluetooth gsmecube controller than I can use with my steam deck to emulate gamecube games on my TV.
Well it's either this or the retro fighters controllers
@1BYEBYE1 PowerA made that Gamecube cotroller rep back when Smash Ultimate was releasing. No rumble but basically a classic style GC controller that has Bluetooth. Works great with Steam Deck (from my little usage I've done so far). They aren't terribly expensive either.
Shankmods has been beaten.
Take notes Sony DualSense LEdge 👌✨
All it need is amiibo support
First! Lol. Great video I really enjoyed the review. I can't wait to get my hands on these! ☺🎮
Any idea if it works for the dolphin emulator ?
Kinda it will work but only through Bluetooth
Welp, since the controller had turbo buttons I can't bring it to tournaments. Sadness
I bought the doyoky ones
Does it feel like a GameCube controller?
Boi it IS a gc controller lol
@@Mr_Grape okay but it isn't. So do the triggers/face buttons *feel* like the og GC controller
@vorbo01 mostly, the only differences is that the triggers are a slightly different shape, and they're no longer analog
I'm getting one today. I need bigger controllers . I have big hands
Has anybody test if it will really don't drift?
The product is brand new so it will probably be a long time before that could really be tested. Hall effect thumbsticks are not a new concept though. A few other companies are doing it and their controllers have been out for awhile. Hopefully the claim is true
I got the controller yesterday and noticed it actually does. I was playing MLB the Show and the reticle for the batter was moving on its own. That's with a fully charged battery. We'll see if more people get this issue considering the company claims it's not possible.
90% of drift is just grease or dust between the outer rubber and the stick. Just blow on it or use a qtip
@@Freshcornpop could alcohol and move the stick work too? It just occurred to me reading your comment
Man this just needs a wireless adapter to plug it to the Gamecube/Wii and I would buy SEVERAL lol. Thanks for the video Portly!
Well if you add a blueretro controller board to the GameCube that might work.
@@Joel-bt4tt Yeah I remember seeing about those, but I feel like they're a bit too expensive just for BT. I hope someone comes up with an adapter that also works on the Wii someday!
@@VladlustTV Yeah that’s true. Hopefully someone makes an adapter that plugs into a single port like the N64 one.
"Natural evolution"?
Im sorry, taktle? do you mean tactile? because taktle is not a word.
Wait, are you saying tactile or tactile
This Controller can never drift, right?
That’s what they claim. Time will tell. One person commented here that they have drift already somehow but idk lol
My experience has been fine and usually drift takes a long time and a lot of use to kick in but the product is brand new
For third party controls, drift is a none factor. How is the imput delay, especially at a distance from the console. Let me know within 3 months, ok.
It looks good. It looks cheap.
$70 ain't cheap, that's for sure!
@@nathan_nothingGiven the crazy amount of features it has, the fact that it’ll never drift, and how Pro Controllers go for around $50-60 anyway, $70 for this thing sounds like a fucking steal.
@@Brawler_1337 yeah, that's a good point , it has a lot going on for it, but the plastic looks low quality and hollow. I'd love to see it in person. Still, it's a nice controller considering drift is a huge issue.
Sorry for the nitpicking, but this is a pet peeve of mine. Nintendo confirmed years ago that the plural of Joy-Con is just “Joy-Con.” Just like how “sheep” is both plural and singular.
Anyway, great review! I have one of these on preorder and I’m feeling super impatient for it to ship next month! 😭
Ya know what, that’s fair honestly lol. I forget that it’s supposed to be Joy-con haha
You really had to be that guy huh?
@@Azailon_ I've also been on a streak of trying to correct PokéTubers that consistently pronounce certain Pokémon names incorrectly.
After super nintendo, Nintendo just started making weird shit controllers, one after the other. Just make a normal controller like everyone else, stop these weird gimmicks
Every console since the Wii has had a classic pro controller option. Just stick to those
It's for Switch not gamecube disabled woman
Worst gc controller for smash bros dont buy this shit, i bought 2 of these cause they looked promising.
They snap back like there is no tomorrow and god forbid if you accidentally press one of 4 useless turbo and setting buttons mid game play your match is screwed. Dont worry, with 4 of them you cant miss them.
They feel very awkward and the sticks are way too sensitive and finicky. Maybe you wont get joystick drift with these but you're gonna pay 100$ for controllers that feel and plays like the 20$ cheap ones.
It's really horrible. The retroflag controller is best
that piece of crap? retroflag controller is terrible.
That one is just a big for nothing at least this gives you 3 different controller options
