A great inexpensive Gamecube adapter
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With switch game controllers costing around $50 a piece, the Nyko Retro controller hub w/ gamecube controllers is a great alternative for multiplayer titles. You can buy a set of two 3rd party Gamecube controllers for around $20 online, making multiplayer options much more affordable. Bear in mind that there are limitations to using Gamecube controllers. They only work on a couple of games like Mario Kart and Super Smash brothers. The controller hub maps the Gamecube controller as if it were a switch controller without the L1 trigger, + / - buttons, home button, and gyro controls. As long as the game doesn't require these inputs, you can use the Gamecube controller. The only real downside I had with this hub is that it doesn't include rumble. I am guessing this might be due to the controller not being able to emulate HD rumble of the Switch, but it's still disappointing to have no rumble feedback at all. Still a great way to get some extra controllers without spending a lot of cash.

Easily add up to 4 GameCube controllers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter wanted to use my Switch for her little party and this allowed easy use of my existing GameCube controllers onto my Switch. The only downside was that the GameCube controllers were missing the + and - buttons so the options were: use the Joycons as a controller either while on the switch or remotely. I think only Player 1 needs that type of functions. It also plugged into the Switch dock and I used both USB ports to ensure power for rumble functionality(which we never tried). So, with that in mind, I'm super pleased with this and may consider a better wired-controller option. It's nice to be able to share some of the GameCube components so as to have fewer system-specific parts taking up space.

Smaller but just as good as the Official Nintendo
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works great for using the original gamecube controllers I had laying around. Compared to the official Nintendo adapter it is about a half inch smaller in length however it works exactly the same and feels just as solid as the Nintendo one. This is one of my favorite products for the switch. It makes playing Super Smash Bros much easier and using the gamecube controllers feel so much more comfortable during long sessions of Mario Kart. Definitely worth the $20 bucks

If you're getting this I guess you have friends
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're considering buying this I'm guessing you have some old Gamecube controllers laying around just waiting to be used again. If this is the case look no further this will bring use to those old/new controllers once again! FYI Some people have noticed some input lag from these but if it is there, I haven't noticed it myself.

Great 3rd Party Adapter.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great— I bought for Smash Ultimate & Grid Autosport. I was worried that the analog signal in L & R trigger buttons wouldn’t work, as I’ve read that’s the case with some of these 3rd party adapters— pleased to say the analog works just as it should. Cheaper than the official unit is and works just as good. Also a plus that the adapter has about 2 feet worth of cord so the GameCube controller has just enough length to reach to my couch about 9 feet away from console. Highly recommended!

Great for Smash brawl
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Glad we held onto our wireless GameCube controllers. This retro controller hub allowed us to hook up the old GC controllers to the new Nintendo Switch and use them if they was made for the switch. I didn't have to buy new controllers for 4 additional players. I also get to tell my wife that because I didn't throw out the old controllers at her request (command), I saved some money and got cool dad points with my son. (Okay, I didn't really tell her because I'd still be wrong somehow.)
