Nintendo Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Edition GameCube Controller - Switch

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.

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.

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!

I ordered this control a day ago and arrived today rather quickly so I'm rather pleased with that but as for the controller itself well it's what you expect a GameCube controller nothing too special (besides the awesome smash logo on it) it plays well on Gamecube I tested it on Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime, and a few other games just to list a few. I'm aware that this was made only for smash ultimate but I had to try out some other switch games that worked for this controller like Mario Kart 8 deluxe and well to my surprise it worked like a champ I didn't have control stick problems at all. I'm not 100% about some other games but just to list some others beside Mario Kart I tried out Sonic mania, Rocket league, and Bloodstain (the 8 bit version) once again it worked like a champ.Overall I really like the design of the Smash ball and how it mixes so well with the black it functions are on point and really responsive. Plus its price to me beat the other two GameCube controllers before it (being the WIi u GC controllers) so if you never owned a GC controller but want one for Smash Ulitmate I would recommend buying this!

Fantastic quality, the left stick is just a tad off on mine. Nothing like drift or snapback. Every GC controller has its own quirks so bear that in mind.

Muy buen Control, perfecto para jugar Smash.En mi caso me enviaron la versión japonesa, la caja llego algo deteriorada, lo que entiendo puede no gustarle a los coleccionistas, pero por todo lo demás, todo perfecto y no me molesta en lo más mínimo.

They just don’t make them like they used to. The originals would last forever and work great. This has buttons sticking in place and randomly disconnecting, even though it’s wired. Inputs are delayed and the stick drift is atrocious
