Customers admire the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Edition Controller for its compatibility with both the Switch and GameCube, its nostalgic feel that reminds them of the original GameCube controller, its high-quality construction, and its overall ease of use. While some customers mentioned the need for an adapter, the positive feedback on the controller's compatibility, feel, and quality outweigh this concern.

I have the original game cube controller and I prefer this for Switch and WiiU. The cable is longer and the controller feels sturdier. This is ideal for Smash Bros, and works well with MK 8 Deluxe and Mario Tennis Aces. Remember you need a GCC converter.

Fast inputs, long chord, good quality, feels and looks great. My original concern with this controller was that the pre-order date said it would arrive on Christmas, over two weeks after the release of Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Fortunately, it arrived yesterday, giving me time to get used to the feel of the controller before December 7th. When comparing it side by side to the official controller that came with my Gamecube, the only difference that I can feel is the plastic it's made with. Some of the reviews for this controller have said that the plastic feels cheaper but I personally prefer the new material. The plastic on this controller feels a lot less likely to gather grease or marks after long play sessions. Many of the 1-2 star reviews have very different issues with their controllers. Some are complaining about slow inputs, low quality triggers, and some people are having trouble with getting it to work on emulators. I've had none of these problems. Maybe I just got lucky with the one I was shipped but overall, I'm very satisfied with it.

The GameCube Controller for Smash Ultimate feels exactly the way my original wired GameCube controllers feel. This makes playing Smash Ultimate way easier (adapter required). It even works with the other games on my Switch, at least for the ones that don't need the sticks to click in, or have a second Z button (top bumper), making multiplayer games on the NES feel slightly better than using the sideways Joy-Cons. I'll update this once I dig out my GameCube and try some games with it along with my launch Wii and Wii U. I was told that it does work with Wii U and PC, but I'll test them and update this in the future.
