PDP Wired Fight Pad - Link (Nintendo Wii U)

Firstly, this is a Classic Controller, not a GameCube controller.On an unmodified Wii this works exactly the same as any other Wii Classic controller.You plug it into the Wiimote and you can use it with Virtual Console games, WiiWare games, and a couple dozen Wii games, including Mario Kart and Smash etc.On an unmodified Wii you absolutely can NOT use this with GameCube games.On a softmodded Wii it's a whole different story.Twilight Princess, Windwaker, Four Swords, with probably the most Zelda controller ever? Sure.Not on an unmodded Wii though.This isn't one of those crunchy third party controllers you throw in a draw and only take out if you have a bunch of people over and not enough controllers. No. The build quality on this seems to be as good as a Ninty controller.If you like how this looks in the picture you won't be disappointed; that's exactly what you get.It's shiny. The colours are stunning. That shiny gold wingcrest is SHINY metallic (I hope so much that it stays).The buttons feel good. They're not mushy or clicky. The triggers' action feels good. The sticks are fine (and upgraded to Wii Classic sticks instead of the weirdness on the GCN controller).Now here's where my gripes come in, and the are very few.1. The home button (yellow) sticks up the same as the start/+ and select/- buttons (blue).It looks great but Nintendo recessed that button for a good reason.You don't want to accidentally press that in-game because it pauses the game and brings up a Wii system menu.If you're using it with GameCube games (modded Wii only remember, but that's very common these days) the home button immediately and unceremoniously quits the game just like you reset the GameCube.The home button sticks out. Not kewl.2. While it may look like the best looking GameCube controller ever made (and function exactly as a Wii Classic Controller), it does NOT feel like a GameCube controller.The handles are fatter and don't fit in the hand as nicely.The bottom of the casing under the D-pad and C stick are rounded and look great but they get in the way a little.Both noticable but forgivable. It's still wonderful, and the closest I've seen yet.However...I mentioned earlier that the trigger action feels good. That's just the mechanism. The shape of the triggers is utterly abominable. I'd change them out but they're brown, and grey or black would look naff.Still the best third party GameCube plastics I've ever seen, and one of the best looking GameCube controllers ever.Why change the shape of a GCN controller?!That's literally the only reason it's one of the most highly rated controllers ever made.

It's a decent pad with no input lag. The only problem I found with it is that since I have a slightly altered button configuration when using the Wii U gamepad itself, that reflected onto the fight pad. Basically whatever your button configuration for the Wii U pad (the main one with a screen on it) is, the fight pad will be the same.

fantastic controller its a classic pro controller that looks just like old gamecube that can play on my Wii u and Wii mode all virtual console and all the classic pro controller games and wii u smash bros and Mario kart 8 etc .if you have a switch you can buy an adapter for it and you can plug in your wii remote with this controller and got the same buttons for the switch

I was disappointed as this was bought as a gift with the Wii u Zelda breath of the wild game but does not work with this game. As it is a Wii u controller and has Zelda theme you would expect it to work with Zelda game. It does work with other games that use the classic controller so you plug it into that.

Great piece of equipment, plugs into a Wii remote which is a bit awkward but still it's way better than the gamepad! Classic GameCube feels

Feels cheep.. Only works if you plug it in to the end ov a wii controller witch was disappointing

Very demanding and beautiful design, precise operation. Great price. It is definitely worth buying. Five stars!

Works greath with Nes mini classic
