Perfect addition to the switch. Always enjoyed the GameCube controller and makes it much easier to play Pikmin 3

This controller works very well as a gamecube style controller. It is not a one to one match because the trigger buttons are not analogue - it doesn't detect how far you push it down. It's either pressed or not pressed. So, as long as you know that going in, this is a great controller. This controller in particular does have a manufacturer issue that manifests in some controllers, where the A button starts to stick. I originally got one a few years ago and it took almost a year to manifest. I have not yet experienced this on this controller, and it is not a guarantee to have issues. Overall, this is a great controller at a great price, so replacing it after a year or two is not a big deal.

This controller is Nintindo quality at it's best! The analog and C sticks snap right back to the middle and feel perfect. The buttons and D-pad work and feel great. The length and thickness of the cord tell me that this controller was built to last. It has an overall sturdy feel, and I would recommend this controller to anyone.

Had to get this for smash bros ultimate and it takes me back to smash bros melee. Great price for a great controller

My interest for a controller like this came when I heard about the release of a new Smash Bros. game for the Nintendo Switch. Nostalgia aside, the Nintendo GameCube had the best, most comfortable controllers, and the particular layout of buttons and sticks worked PERFECTLY with GameCube's Super Smash Bros. Melee. So naturally, when Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was announced, all sorts of GameCube-style controllers came out. I'm usually the kind of person to avoid third-party controllers, but it looked like Nintendo was backing PowerA brand and kept me interested in it. What makes this PowerA GameCube Controller different than the Nintendo-branded GameCube controller is that it has two "Z" buttons (the bumper buttons, the Switch was designed with two shoulder buttons) and the 4 essential Switch buttons in the center (Screen shot, Home, +, and -), meaning this can be used for more games than just the Smash Bros. game the Nintendo-brand GameCube control was revived for. The only downside is that this does not have the rumble feature, which has been a common feature I've turned off manually anyway. If you've ever played a GameCube, I would highly recommend this one (or its wireless counterpart) for the Switch!

Great controller! The weight is a little light, but it feels good in your hand.

I really enjoy this controller! needed a wired controller vs wireless. Easy to maneuver .

Great controller and easy to use! Works great the unit with plenty of cord.

Got a pc, and wanted to use it to experience childhood games you can no longer get unless you wanna drop 100's of dollars. Works excellent for all GameCube titles, love that it gives me ability to truly experience those games like i used to

Great controller a little on the light side which it was heavier so it didn’t feel so cheap

I was in a bind during a stream when my controller stopped working.. put it on pause to go to best buy and this affordable piece of tech was worth the buy! Feels good in the hands too though a little compact.

This is great for playing switch games on the tv i find it easier to use than taking the sides off just nice having that controller feel

Bought for playing Smash Brothers specifically. Great old school feel. The only thing I wish is that is was wireless. Otherwise great buy

Great controller for switch and emulation. I will say one major con is the fact that the R and L triggers are not analog.. so for racing games you cannot granularly control speed.

Comfortable in the hand, light, long cord, and has worked with any game. The GameCube had my favorite controller ever and I was happy to find this one. The switch joysticks are ok for mobile use, but this is much easier! One thing to be aware of is of course the A-B-X-Y buttons are in a different orientation, but I don’t mind it

Great addition to my accessories for my switch. Good cord length and solid build

An awesome nostalgic controller greatly used for smash brothers and other GameCube classics. If you're getting tired of the nunchucks then pick up one these bad boys. I hoping Nintendo makes a N64 version as well. It's a long time waiting.

Great for GameCube games and emulation. Be warned though triggers are not analog

GameCube controllers, in my opinion, are the best controllers for playing Smash Bros and Mario Kart. I am very happy that Nintendo released them for the switch. It has done its job very, very well.

Good quality controller. Worth the price. Very easy to use.
