The joy my GameCube has brought me over this decade has been innumerable. With such a constant use it is no wonder why my original controller had seen better days. I knew it was time to search for a replacement when my B button started to stick, flat out not working at some points. In doing my research I came across this little controller. I thought why not a used goes for $10-$15 and if this is the same quality as my first it'll last into next decade. You sadly know where this is already going just by the 3 stars up top. This controller is not the same. The exterior quality is different and I believe is better though, that quickly ends my praise on this product. The face buttons are similar and I can not compare much do to my noted ware on the original. I am in a position to comment on the shoulder buttons. They are flat out garbage. A quick google search confirmed what I had already felt playing. The mechanism that is in the original controllers are not in these triggers. Making a cheap clicking sound to accent the horrible feel. You should avoid this controller at all cost. In less, you are a collector, you replace the triggers with an older models triggers (Google it) or you are playing casual games. People who this controller is not for includes yours truly, ANY SSB player or people who desire the same quality we were afforded 10 years ago. TD;LR - Great if you casually play and are okay with less quality. AVOID if you play SMASH or want original quality.

I bought this controller to play Super Smash Bros (Original, Melee, and Brawl). It works very well, far better than the original Wii wireless controllers. It has a very long cord so there are no issues with cord length, unless you are seated very, very far from the TV.

The Gamecube controller is an excellent controller for Smash Bros 4. While the adapters are hard to come by, this is a must for any competitive player. This controller also works with old Gamecube games and on top of all that, the cord is even longer than the standard controllers which is a great touch.
