    Wireless Gamecube controller. Not much else to say. Feels legit and I use it over my original Gamecube controller.

    Really like the design and that a couple of things have been improved on this version of GameCube switch controller. D pad is a bit bigger and it is super light compared to the original. Just keep in mind it doesn't have amiibo use and no rumble built in. Takes getting used to the new layout in the center.

    This controller immediately impressed me. It feels exactly like a 1st Party(Nintendo Made) gamecube controller. The wireless has very minimal latency and I was able to play Smash with no problem. It also works for every game and has a good battery life. It's also like $30 cheaper than the Pro controller. I highly recommend this product.

    A must for playing adventure and normal games in your Nintendo. The small controllers are terrible for certain games. This controller has motion sensors on it as well like the console controls. I just wish it was rechargeable battery but 2AAs last a long time

    Works well. Responsive. Has the home button. Takes AA batteries so I advise getting a set off 4 rechargeable batteries. Then you can just swap them out and never stop playing! Hardcore smash players will probably over critique this controller. It's feels so similar to the original that I doubt most will notice.

    Can’t really say anything wrong about this controller. It makes Smash a lot more enjoyable. It would of been nice to have rumble but it’s something I forget about right away.

    I chose this remote because it was cheaper than buying another set of joycons or the wireless pro controller and it turned out to be a great choice. I prefer to play with a bigger remote, so when I have to give someone else one of the joycons in order to play a 2-player game, it's very uncomfortable. Also I used to have a gamecube so it's kind of cool that I get to play the switch with a gamecube remote. For those with bigger hands, who prefer a bigger remote, I definitely recommend this as a great option. However something that I would prefer on the remote since it's $40-50, would be for it to be rechargeable. The hassle of having to purchase batteries and changing them out is ridiculous when you pay just about the same amount as the pro controller which does have the rechargeable feature.

    This controller is solid overall, especially for people who are used to playing Smash with the GC set-up. It is way better than the joy con's tiny buttons. I like that it takes double AA batteries that can be easily swapped out and recharged. The only downside to this controller is that it doesn't have rumble features.

    Since I just purchased a switch and was not used to the joy cons at all, I wanted a controller that would make gameplay that much easier . I loved the gamecube controller and that is what this is basically. It makes playing the games on the console so easy and is nice to have that old school controller feel to it.

    Great for people who need a pro controller or want to use a gamecube controller and not my adapters and original hardware. The only issue I have is that it runs on AA batteries! It's 2021 and these things cant be charged via a USB. It's kind of sad. I just bought a rechargeable battery set on the side and now I don't have to worry as much.

    If you have a Nintendo Switch and are a fan of Smash Bros games then there is only one controller that will suit your needs, the one from the Gamecube. This is the best option since it's an original product, it has the extra buttons for the switch, it's wireless and it's light. It is also set at a good price!

    Great Controller in General

    This controller functions so similarly to a GameCube controller that you probably wouldn't mind the small differences. With the addition of an extra shoulder button and motion control, it delivers a GameCube-esque feel to games that wouldn't normally function well with just a standard GameCube controller. Only downside is that it requires AA Batteries. Overall, great product if you account for battery replacement.

    It feels a little cheap, and it could never replace an original gamecube controller made by nintendo, but it works, sort of. I usually get them, start playing with it, and after a couple of months, let's say 4, joystick drift presents itself. After that, I just turn the controller in to the store and get a new one. If you play smash, you know exactly why this is a problem. I've used an original gamecube controller made by nintendo since before ultimate came out, and after 4 years it still works wonders, in fact, I've used OG gamecube controllers before (Over a decade old) that work much better than this one. The OG's might be expensive and hard to get, but you only need one.
