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.

    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.

    This is a good controller, works very well for super smash bros for a few months. After that, the controller starts to have some issues - drift, unresponsiveness, etc. I’ve gone through about 8 of these controllers in the past 2-3 years since I have to keep replacing them, which is difficult especially since they’re so expensive. Nonetheless, I’m not aware of any other wireless GameCube controllers on the market so this one works well for the time being.

    This controller is by far the best value and quality available in this style! The buttons are very responsive with a longed after satisfying click that was lacking from joycons and other controllers. It's just like you remember and better! With that comfortable design for holding allowing for long game-play, along with vibration response, wireless connectivity, and feeling like your 10 again this controller is without a doubt a 5/5 must have!!!

    Great wireless GameCube controller

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This controller is really the best of both worlds. It has all the functions of a pro controller, including clickable sticks, 4 should buttons, motion controls, and wireless connection. All while also acting exactly like a GameCube controller, even down to the clickable shoulder buttons with a slight travel. I’d say this is the best controller you can get for Smash while not limiting it to that game, just keep in mind that the button placement might not translate well to certain games.
