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.

    When I bought this my switch could see it my controller and it worked wonderfully and later I connected to my computer and suddenly I couldn't get my switch to see it again. I would still recommend because it's really good.

    Worse than the original

    I love the nostalgia factor but the controller is functionally lacking, even compared to the original GameCube controller that I still have for comparison. The buttons are very loud and slow to respond, the signal can get choppy if I put my legs up or something is on the coffee table between my Switch and the controller (which doesn't happen with my joycons), and it has no NFC-reading capability for amiibos (as advertised, but worth reiterating). It does the job but not well and I wouldn't recommend it for competitive gaming of any kind or genre.

    Great controller! Feels like a Gamecube controller, even down to button pressure and thumbstick.

    Pretty good alternative to a Wavebird

    Overall the controller does a good job of emulating the GameCube controller and provides wireless functionality with a smaller footprint than a Wavebird. However, quality is a little lacking as my joystick is already showing signs of wear.

    Solid controller. Easy to set up and very responsive. My only complaint is the build quality is a little cheap for the price.

    I have large hands, and both the mii con and the pro controller are too small for me. The configuration of the cube controller fits my hands so much better.

    When I originally played Super Smash, I did so on Gamecube. Because of this, it was a good idea to purchase this controller. It sticks a little more than the controllers I had before but I think it just needs to be broken in.

    The controller works ok. The big complaint is that there is no way to turn it off so it seems I have to put fresh batteries in it every time I pull it out.

    If you are use to the gamecube controller for smash then get it. I still prefer the pro controller because of the distance when you press a button. This controller buttons travel further, similar to the original gamecube controller.

    This is a great buy for all super smash bros players. Heard there were some more GameCube games coming out for Switch soon so had to jump on this one.
