A great inexpensive Gamecube adapter
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.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.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.

If you're getting this I guess you have friends
||Posted .Owned for 8 months when reviewed.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.

Smaller but just as good as the Official Nintendo
||Posted .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

Must have if you have GameCube controllers!
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This is a must have if you want to use GameCube controllers on the Switch. Super Smash Bros. Is the only game I currently have for the switch, but I love using the GameCube controllers to play it! It’s just like the old days playing Melee!
