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.

    I’ve been using this controller with the new super smash pro for the switch and it is great. Only complaint is that it should be made to use with Amiibos.

    Works great but doesn't last very long!

    Controller does what it's made for and does it well, however it does have huge faults. First one had a horrible drift issue within 3 weeks requiring it to be replaced. Second one lasted over 9 months but began to have issues with buttons, the + button (not used during normal play) simply stopped working as well as the right tilt stick which seemingly stopped working until inputs start taking effect 5 seconds later. I will buy another because it's convenient but it's sad that this controller isnt lasting as long as the original Gamecube ones that I've had for well over a decade now.

    This was a birthday gift for my grandson who was thrilled to get it. He couldn't wait to try it out. He's very happy with it.

    I've heard that if you're going to play Smash Bros, using a GameCube style remote is the way to go. So here we are.

    Everything about the control works like the original GC controller, but with a few changes that were needed to make it work with new games.

    Almost perfect replica from Smash Melee. Only flaw I found was the A button is very loud otherwise it would be a 5 star. Definitely recommended for any Smash player. Have not used for other games.
