    In my opinion the Nintendo Gamecube controller is easily in the top 2 or 3 video game controllers of all time. This re-release of the controller isn't much different than what you'd have gotten back during the Gamecube's prime but whether you're playing the old school cube or playing on your Nintendo Switch, this controller is perfect. Also this is the best way to play Smash Bros period. *You must have a Gamecube adapter for the Nintendo Switch if you're going to use this controller!*

    There really isn't too much to say about this. Other than the Smash Bros Ultimate asthetic, it's a standard GameCube controller in every way. Great buttons, fantastic sticks, and a great length of cord. For the die-hard Smash fans that just won't let the GameCube controller die, but don't want to bother with used, worn out sticks, this is a great buy.

    This controller is perfect for playing Smash Bros. Ultimate! The tactile feedback and response feels identical to playing with the original Gamecube controllers. The only real difference I can feel is that these new controllers are slightly lighter than the original ones, but that isn't enough to stop me from buying three more of them to have enough controllers for 8 person matches haha.

    I haven't held a brand new GCN controller for more than 10 years but Nintendo's still making them just as reliably as they did 17 years ago. The design is wonderful and makes you feel all the more powerful when you're using it to Smash. The shoulder buttons feel nice and springy, the controls sticks responsive, the rumble brand new. You just can't get a better controller experience from a third party. You have to go with the big N themselves

    Been using for Smash Ultimate as well as on PC (you need the GC-USB adapter to do this). Works great for both, haven't had any issues. Build quality feels solid (not quite like the original remotes but definitely good!), the buttons and sticks were a little stiff at first but they're better now. Feels great for Smash and other games, would recommend over many other controllers.

    Quality GameCube Controllers Return

    This was a highly anticipated item at my house. We have ordered off-brand controllers for our gamecube to have a set of 4 to play SmashBros and more however those always break. They just are not the quality of the original Nintendo gamecube controllers. 100% recommend. The added decal is a nice touch and adds to the nostalgia of playing Smashbros years ago.

    Not Smash without the Cube controller

    The GameCube controller will never die and that is because it remains the best way to play Smash Bros. The Pro controller is a great second option but this one here is, in my mind, untouchable. It feels just like the original too. I bought two to replace my aging GameCube controllers that are 15 years old now and they are just as they should be.

    The gamecube controller feels almost identical to the ones sold over a decade ago by Nintendo. The only notable difference are the left and right trigger that feel differenct and seems to be missing a certain mechanism. None the less they feel and work great. A great buy for any smash bros ultimate player coming from the previous games.

    Classic Feel, Brand New Reliability

    This thing feels like a traditional GameCube controller, but it has the reliability of a brand new controller. If you like the old feel for Smash Bros. but you don't want to spend money on hard to find, often broken old controllers, this is the way to go. I actually gave it as a gift to a friend, but we both used it and both love it.

    I love my GameCube controller. If you love Smash Bros or want to play Super Mario Sunshine like it was played in the GameCube days, it's worth your money. It's unfortunate these controllers are limited time sales. Hopefully it won't be too long before we see another release.

    If you are competitive or just miss the old school gamecube layout, then this is the controller for you. I have already worn down mine after hours and hours of use and It still feels like new. It fell, got stepped on and thrown, but is still working fine. Very high quality Nintendo Product. Would 100% Recommend.

    Wow who wouldve thought that in 2018 i would be still buying a GCN controller...this is the same controller like the original but with a much longer cable like the Japanese version. some buttons feel clicky but it feels so good in ur hands. also obviously it also works if u have a GCN or a Wii that lets u play GCN games

    It Doesn't seem so long ago to me when the GameCube was the new must have device but I would have never guessed the controllers would be the things to hold on to. With that said, these controllers are as well built as ever and a must have for the fast approaching Super Smash Bros. Ultimate release.

    This is essentially a Gamecube controller with the SSB logo on it. It has all of the advantages, and response of the originals. The Gamecube controller is one of the better (and most underrated) Nintendo controllers, and it's great to be able to get a first party version of it.

    This is the same as the GameCube controller from 2001 except for the Smash Ultimate logo and for the longer cord. Admittedly, I don't think this controller is good for anything other than Smash and of course GameCube games.

    I test them with Smash Bros Melee and it worked amazingly ! They feel kind of light but they are premium quality. The cord is longer than the regular GameCube controller.
