I dreamed about a GameCube Joy Con style controller for years, and then Nyxi finally made it happen! I got one recently and now I’ll use my Switch even more lol.
so a guy named ShankMods did a custom pair of GameCube joycons and they're cool as hell. love the way they turned out. they ended up using a real wavebird shell and so on
i was around when gamecube first came out. metroid prime was the game i loved. we only got to play on the weekends for a few hours and other times was always outside doing better things
Wavebird was the first wireless controller I used that didn't suck. I remember being genuinely surprised when it, y'know, worked. The IR wireless N64 controllers on the other hand… .
I actually have the GameCube switch controller and I have to admit that it feels and works very well Edit: the one that I have is the 3rd controller that appears on the video
which 1? the joycon version or the 1st switch g.c. controller? I heard that controller is only compatible with super smash bros and works for 0 other titles
@Dave Manifold I have both (and maybe a problem 😅) but they should work with pretty much anything on Switch. Functionally, they're more like "Gamecube-style" Pro Controllers. Though the Nyxi Wizard (joycons) has rumble and back buttons while the PowerA one doesn't. I honestly like both of them a lot.
@@3Captivated I see the nyxi wizard is 115$ on ebay now. They just been released this month I believe. B4 they came out the original msrp was 70$ man I want 1 alot but could nearly buy 2 Nintendo branded switch pro controllers for the price of just 1 nyxi wizard. Was it hard to get 1? I didn't see many on ebay. Not alot of people know about em yet.
@@jareddavidmanifold313 the 1st one, or the Power A GC controller is basically just a pro controller. it'll work with anything but mine have been unreliable for vairous reasons so maybe hold off on it
The Wireless controller by PowerA is a good option, although unfortunately it only operates with AA batteries. However, if you're looking for something similar, there's also the Hori Gamecube controller. It's a better option if you're looking for a rechargeable battery via USB-C.
The power A controller to me is small af in my hands. I used the PDP gamecube controllers for a while now I'm going to get a dongle and play with the OG ones.
Those Wavebird wireless controllers were expensive AF when they first came out back in the day. My parents weren't about to spend that much money on a controller for me. Lol
When nintendo wii was about to release, I bought a wave brid wireless controller from $1.50 at Walmart then about one to three week later I bought racing steering controller Was comparable with the xbox, PS2 GAMECUBE that cost like $120.00 for $10.10
I wish I had the money to buy the Gamecube joycons and the Gamecube controller for the Switch. The Gamecube is something I never got to play (because I was born in 2009) so I never really had the chance to experience how old consoles were like. Using a replica of an old Nintendo console for the Switch would be a pretty interesting change of pace for me
It wasn’t all that long ago that GameCube joy cons were just something someone did as a project for fun to see if you could even do it. Man, this is so cool 😊
Wavebird is still the best controller ever made, Original gcn as a close second, it is the better option for more precise games like melee or for speedrunning
The OG controller, WaveBird, and NYXI Wizard are superbly designed and excellently built controllers! I actually recently got the Wizard and, aside from a longing to have a shorter C-stick, it's everything I hoped it would be! The PowerA controller loses a few points in my book because it's slightly smaller than a regular GameCube controller and I have not had the best of luck with them quality-wise. It's a damn shame, because the controllers themselves are comfy and very good for playing Smash, they just tend to break for dumb reasons. Also, it doesn't have rumble and runs on AAs, which are downsides. I'm fairly certain that Nintendo will be releasing an official wireless variant of the original GameCube controller at some point. Something tells me the only reason they haven't is because they don't want another situation like the Bluetooth N64 controller, where it's really only available to the public for seconds before some scalper buys them all. They know exactly how popular Smash Bros is and they are waiting until they have the ability to mass produce them.
Okay but do any of the recent controllers have triggers like the original gamecube or are they all clicky buttons that function differently? The way the PowerA triggers work negate some game functions that rely on the original gamecube triggers
The switch wasn't the first GameCube controller to have a left bumper. I have a GameStop original GameCube controller with a left bumper and a right bumper
Ay man I’ve never really held a gamecube controller before and I don’t really got the money to buy one, so can you like, make a vid where you just hold the controller and use it?
Whatever y’all do don’t buy the wireless power A GameCube controller for the switch, A button instantly jammed. Returned it with warranty and got a new one and it happened pretty quick again
again, people leaving out information. The wave bird revolutionized wireless signals in the attired! Before the wave bird, just walking in front of the signal, would shut it off on all wireless signals
I'm 15, so I didn't grow up with a GameCube, but I know it's freaking legendary, and it's crazy how even Nintendo themselves know how amazing it is by re-releasing them multiple times.

@@AMR15H they also work on Ps3 but not very well. The buttons on the right act like the dpad or control sticks

It sucks dont buy it. It feels extremely cheap, and will probably develop stick issues within a few months of use
@ShankMods made GameCune joycons out of the Wavebird and the pair of JoyCons.
Collecting all the infinity stones here
Love GameCube controllers
Do we all agree GCN has the best controller design?
That third one is the perfect upgrade to the original btw
I like the GameCube joycons 😊
"[the wavebird] really changed the way we modernized gaming controllers wirelessly"
Sounds like the scriptwriter had a stroke writing that sentence.
My reaction to No.4:"WHAT THE HECK!!! THAT"S SO COOL!!!"
i remember before the joy con ones there was a youtuber who custom made them and they were essentially 1:1 of the originals
it wasnt “essentially 1:1”. it was an actual gamecube controller split in half.
Shank mods
Yea these are awesome
Some people call it the Wayfair and not the wavebird
I personally use the Power A Wired Gamecube controller and I recommebd it especially at the low price of 25 bucks when wired.
I got the NYXI Wizard and other than a slight delay for wireless, it feels so good in JoyCon mode
I'm going to be honest that last one surprised me
Those Wavebird wireless controllers were expensive AF when they first came out back in the day. My parents weren't about to spend that much money on a controller for me. Lol
They were $40, only $20 more expensive than the regular GameCube controller.
When nintendo wii was about to release, I bought a wave brid wireless controller from $1.50 at Walmart then about one to three week later I bought racing steering controller Was comparable with the xbox, PS2 GAMECUBE that cost like $120.00 for $10.10
I like the Switch Gamecube controller perfect for every game and more for Fighting games
The GameCube Joycons make the switch a freaking beast in size and design and I LOVE IT.
God i miss my wavebird controller... wish i still had one
The final one looks like a steam deck but better
I know I had a Gamecube controller with ventilation against sweaty hands :D
I loved that controller.
There’s also a GameCube Keyboard Controller exclusive in Japan
could never beat the ones by shank mods though. 100% authentic
this has 5 likes and 0 replies. let me change that.
i have a wired version of the 3rd one
Aw yeah! Love the GameCube controller so much! So comfy! I really want one for pc! 😅😁👍🏻
The gamecube joycons are called nyxi wizard, they feel amazing
I absolutely loved the Wavebird controller.
I have a PowerA wired one, excellent controller, and the cable is very long and doesn't bother at all
..........I need that last one in my life very badly. The GameCube was my first console ever.
Cool joycons!
Now thats what i call a gamecube handheld
For a second i thought my mum actually texted me

Now it's a portable GameCube XD I need these tho
the official switch gamecube controller is so bad
Has so many “upgrades” that make it feel shit to play on, literally just get a gcc and an adapter
@@yurplethepurple2064 What are you supposed to do if you play in table top?
gave mine back for refund, feels cheap and lightweight, uses BATTERIES??? get outta here

Bro who ever plays smash with the joycons is about to have a bad time
Wavebird is still the best controller ever made, Original gcn as a close second, it is the better option for more precise games like melee or for speedrunning
The fact he had to go over the wavebird made me sad.
HOLY COW THE LAST ONE IS SO GOOD IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE IM IN HEAVEN
Whenever I'd go to my friends houses I'd always throw their gamecube controllers downstairs until they broke
I even broke Jacob's entire gamecube with the same strategy. The handle really helped with it
(This was on purpose btw)
TEYR FRIKIN YOYNONZ! WAH DAH HEK!?
The joy con ones are $70, to figure. But the wireless and wired GameCube controllers are both only $20 each on eBay

I still prefer regular joycons just because they're so easy to use for groups of people. The only downside is stick drift, but that's fixable
Nah I thought that notification was real
Dude didn’t talk about the gamecube keyboard controller
The GameCube is my favorite console, and the controller is also my favorite.
I just wish the Nintendo Switch controller had an NFC Reader for Amiibo
The Wavebird changed the game but at the cost of losing rumble support in games. No force feedback.
I have the switch controller in a pikachu appearance
Okay but do any of the recent controllers have triggers like the original gamecube or are they all clicky buttons that function differently? The way the PowerA triggers work negate some game functions that rely on the original gamecube triggers
GameCube controllers are peak controllers
Guy on yt made joycons from actual gamecube controller
I still use the second one to play paper mario
Anyone else ever play Mario party 7 on the GameCube?

POV: you thought your mom actually texted you
I don't have an iPhone
WOWWWW. THE WAVEBIRD. EVERY NINTENDO FAN IN A MILE RADIUS KNOWS ABOUT THAT. AND OHHHHH A ORANGE GAMECUBE CONTROLLER. THATS SOOOOO Revolutionary.!!!!!!
I just got the NYXI Wizard in the mail (joycon wavebird) that controller is outstanding im never going back to normal joycons ever again.
This is so wild
Who else remembers MadCatz controllers, really Innovated wireless controllers
That last one might make me actually get a switch. The joycons always felt way too small for my hands.
I prefer the one with a damn keyboard in it that was made for like one game in total lol
for a second there, i thought that notification was real...
Gamecube JoyCons is crazy
Love it!
The mom text thing is creative but it got messed up by the iPhone notch
You forgot one of them actually plug to the Wii remote if the Nintendo Wii just added a home button
I haven’t tried the new new one yet for the switch but I liked all the others so far lol
You should try Exlene GameCube controller

Those gc joycons will never be as good as the original gc joycons
Maybe one day Nintendo will make a Gamecube II..... not likely tho
The wavebird is arguably the best wireless controller ever made..
I swear the last one. I see the vannos logo in the center
Why do I want to buy them all of the sudden?
Blue retro gamecube adapter use any i mean ANY CONTEOLLER ON THE CUBE NXYI ALSO MADE A NICE ONE FOR SWITCH
Actually the first controller is spice orange not just orange get it together man like fr
that GameCube style switch joycon controller is 70$ and will never get joycon drift. I want 1!!!
