Perfect Controller for Smash Ultimate Fans!
I bought this controller in-store at Best Buy specifically for playing Smash Ultimate on my Nintendo Switch, and it’s been an amazing experience! The GameCube-style design feels nostalgic and incredibly comfortable, especially for long gaming sessions. The buttons are responsive, and the wireless connection is seamless, with no noticeable lag. The build quality is excellent, and the layout is perfect for executing combos in Smash. It’s lightweight, yet durable, and the battery life has been great so far. Setting it up was super easy, and it synced with my Switch without any issues. The in-store experience at Best Buy was smooth. The staff was helpful, and I was able to get this controller at a great price. Highly recommend this to any Smash Ultimate player or anyone who loves the classic GameCube controller design!

Great Quality and Nostalgic!
Feels exactly like the original GameCube controllers, just a little bit lighter. No lagging at all and very comfortable to hold. Highly recommend.
