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.

    feels nice being the original game cube controller but the plastic feels super thing and has a lot of flex to the controller I would have like for it to be a little sturdier. other then that no complaints

    It works for what you need it for. The range on the Bluetooth isn't too good tbh. If this ever goes on sale it's a must buy.

    If you enjoyed this controller for your Gamecube you will be fine, I was not and really had a hard time adapting to the awkwardness of it's shape.

    The A button gets stuck sometimes and the left analog stick feels weird. Not for competitive use, but great for party games. Kind of laggy in my opinion.

    It's okay for casual play but has a bit of a delay on input. Wouldn't suggest for more competitive games like Super Smash Bros

    My son uses this to play smash brothers. The only thing is the joystick started becoming unresponsive.

    Got thos for super smash bros. The stick was stuck pointing down (not physically but that's how it communicated) other one I got didnt have this problem but overall felt the controller was less granular than joycon. My friend was laughing at how bad I was playing but it was the controller. 2/5 would not embarrass my self again.

    No. Stay away! This is the second controller from powera that under performed. It feels really janky, and has connectivity issues. I find myself constantly having to reconnect the controller during gaming sessions which has been a common theme with these controllers. I thought that maybe with all the positive reviews, this company could redeem itself, but the negative reviews have shed light to how consistently bad these controllers really are. Never again powera. I don’t know why nintendo slaps their name on this piece of junk.
