Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the wireless connectivity, nostalgic feel, and compatibility of the GameCube Style Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch. They appreciate that it resembles the original GameCube controller and works well for playing Super Smash Bros. However, some customers are disappointed by the lack of rumble and the fact that it runs on AA batteries.

    It's Good Until It Breaks

    This controller would be perfect if it didn't break so easily. I've bought 5 of theses. The left stick broke on all of them. The controller will randomly do a down input making it nearly impossible to play any game. Really sucks when you want to play smash with the boys but the down input is causing you to loose a stock. I've gone back to using old GameCube controllers which is unfortunate because I like the LZ and RZ triggers on the power A.

    I bought this to use with Smash Bros Ultimate. I was not disappointed. It works better than the standard controllers and has that great nostalgic feel.

    Works and functions like the original, but has added buttons for more modern games so it is practical and properly functional. Extremely responsive and wireless.

    Not a big super smash bros player but it's definitely nice to play this game on a game cube controller. Plus the fact that this is wireless is a plus. No feedback lag on the buttons so definitely worth getting.

    Great copycat version of the original classic. Works with android and Windows but the lights keep flashing. I used a sharpie to dim them down to next to nothing. :)

    The best controller of all time! This is a lot lighter than your OG Gamecube controller (no rumble pack inside) but it feels just as good. Got it for Smash Bros but I use it for everything now.

    Controller is great. Works like a normal wired Gamecube controller. Only downside is that it runs on normal batteries but that is not a huge loss to me.

    Love this controller. Especially for playing Super Smash Bros. On the switch. Batteries last long. Wish it came with a rechargable battery like the Pro Controller but works great nonetheless.

    I love this thing. I've been trying to find a Purple GameCube switch controller for a while and I had no luck. Seeing this at best buy was such a good feeling as I snagged it as soon as I saw it. (It was the last one!!)

    This controller has worked pretty well, though it can be weird to use for some games. It uses two double-A's rather than being rechargeable, but the batteries seem to last quite a while.

    Normally i avoid 3rd party controllers like the black plauge, but this one is honestly pretty good. Though its like 15% smaller than the original gamecube controller, so its a little odd at first

    I purchases this controller specifically to play Super Smash Bros Ultimate, so far over 500 battles/matches and battery is still going which was my main fear, no lag either from controller to game.

    My youngest daughter loved this controller since she can easily hold it with her small hands. It was worth paying the price to see her enjoy participating in family game nights.

    This is a well made controller in the mold of the GameCube. Many gamers consider it the best fighting game pad ever. It’s updated for the Switch and who can’t love that?!
