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.

    There are many other alternatives out there that are much more expensive and not wireless. This one works great we have no complaints.

    It's a nice controller, just like the game cube controllers of old. Only thing it's missing is the rumble, but you don't notice that much.

    For Gamecube owners and Smash Melee purists, the PowerA wireless controller is a solid controller. Runs reasonably long on a pair of AA batteries. Rumble support would have been a nice addition.

    I bought this because the wife is getting into playing Animal Crossings on the Switch after many, many years since playing the GC game. This is an excellent 'replica' controller. Very HQ build and other than the fact that the triggers are not analogue it is a perfect GC knockoff. Its a little high @ $50 as it does not have NFC and Rumble and it works off AA (battery life seems good so far). I got a price match off the internet for $35 and its easily worth that.
