Nintendo Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Edition GameCube Controller - Switch

Excellent product, specially for playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The sticks are really durable, had this same version before and it's been 5 years already and the sticks are really functional.

I don't play Smash Bros Melee or Smash for WiiU religiously like some of the reviewers here. I'm not critiquing each and every individual button press and wondering how light or heavy the trigger pulls are. I bought it so I could have a good and new GameCube controller for when Smash Ultimate comes out and so I could play the game *casually*. And on the topic, good and new is a simple way to put my thoughts on it. It's a solid build and just as high quality as how an official Nintendo product should be. The wire is long and durable. The plug end fits snugly in my third-party adapter. The controller gets identified immediately after plugging it in and pressing the A button. The cardboard packaging is clean and simple, albeit a tad bit difficult to open without tearing the box itself (I wanted to try to keep it nice and neat). Inside, the controller is wrapped in a thick plastic baggie inside of a cardboard frame, no foam cushions or anything. I did not have any problems with input lag or drifting thumbsticks. I did not have any problems with chipped paint or flimsy buttons/triggers. I did not have any problems with weak or broken cables. The buttons are clean and easy to press. The thumbsticks are grippy and responsive. The controller's grainy-textured material feels comfortable to hold, but just try not to get any Cheeto fingers all over it for everyone's sake. Overall: if you're looking for a new official GameCube controller that doesn't cost several hundred dollars, then I highly suggests jumping on this. Who knows if it's gonna be a limited run or not. P.S. This is my own individual experience. It may differ from person to person.

I had been WAITING for what felt like forever to buy a Smash 4 Gamecube controller, and the price of the controller was just not going down ($145.00 at the time of writing for the white Japan-exclusive). I could not justify spending that sum of money on a device that should only cost $25.00 (which it did, at one time, and I bought one for my brother in June of 2016). So when Nintendo announced they were going to be selling Smash Bros Ultimate Gamecube controllers, I immediately navigated to Amazon.com and sought it out, praying the price wasn't outrageous. Thirty bucks! I smashed that 1-click-buy button faster than OJ Simpson's white Bronco. It came in the mail today and felt great in my hands. Yes, it is made with cheaper materials than the OG Gamecube controllers, and yes, it has a matte finish (which I really enjoy nonetheless), but it performs as you'd expect a brand new Nintendo Gamecube controller to perform—flawlessly! I've been on this controller since Melee was released in 2001, and let me tell you, go with the Nintendo GC controllers, there are no rivals. It's not your Xbox One Elite, or your Dualshock 4—it's an OG Gamecube controller, fresh from a Chinese factory and so ready to get some Smash on!

I just received this controller and I’m really impressed. The packaging was neat and everything arrived in perfect condition. The controller feels sturdy but lightweight, and the grip is comfortable for long gaming sessions. The buttons and joysticks are very responsive, with no noticeable delay. It connected quickly to my console, and I haven’t had any issues so far. Overall, great value for the price, I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable controller.

As a Smash player I can't live without it. The GameCube controller is the best and this model feels sturdy and lasts for a lifetime.

I bought 5 of these, only tested one as I'm hoping to sell the others to friends/ have backups as I don't expect anymore iterations of the gamecube controller to release. I have no idea what all the 1 and 2 star reviews bought, but I doubt it was this controller. Everything feels completely solid. The sticks have 0 wiggle, the buttons are a little mushy, actually more mushy than my original gamecube controller after I replaced the conductive silicon underneath the buttons. I expected the buttons to feel better. That one reviewer, Alec, who posted screenshots must have done something wrong. If you're connecting the gamecube controller through dolphin using a Wii U adapter there is no way to adjust the deadzones. If he is using 3rd party, that's where the issue comes in. His screenshots at time of writing don't even appear to be the latest version of dolphin... Anyway. No input delay on melee, no deadzone issues with joy sticks. Sounds like the other reviewers got lemons. The ultimate game to test is monkey ball and my character was standing dead still even after playing with the joystick. Based on the reviews I'm scared to test the other controllers but I'm only opening them on a need basis, so I hope they work well. Nintendo puts out good products. 4/5 stars because the buttons are a bit too mushy and soft for a new controller. Only A, B, X, Y - The triggers are just fine. UPDATE: I opened a second one to test. This one also had mushy buttons, however the joysticks were like the first being completely firm and having no loose movement. The second one did have the issue of the right trigger having a springing noise, but that noise is quite literally from the spring in the trigger and if you want to fix it you can just take out the spring slightly rotated and put it back in so that it vibrates in a different way. I did just that in the spring noise went away. However I am disappointed that the buttons are mushy on brand new controllers, and if you don't want to go through the hassle of replacing at you can just buy those Gamecube Conductive Silicon Pads for like $5 right here on Amazon.

Mein Sohn liebt den Controller Top! Gerne wieder. Lieferung kam eher als erwartet i d versprochen. Bin sehr zufrieden.

El control al principio se siente igual que cuando salieron los de Smash for Wii U, pero con el poco uso uno se da cuenta que en realidad son mejores, pero no tan buenos como los originales para Gamecube o el blanco que salió para el Brawl. Las notches vainilla que tiene son perfectas para hacer shieldrops en Melee Dashbacks parece estar al 90% (a la izquierda no hacer el smash turnaround siempre) Los gatillos se sienten duros pero poner light shield o hacer ledgedash se siente bien Obviamente son mejores los controles originales no Smash, pero dado que por fin tenemos controles nuevos oficiales vale la pena probarlos, en el caso de querer usarlos para Smash for Wii U o Smash Ultimate están perfectos en todo aspecto. NOTA: Al parecer es suerte que salga perfecto para Smash Melee, conocidos me han comentado que unos les han salido buenos y otros no.

I paid double the price on this. Can’t use without the cable, which is not available until June!

I love my Super Smash Bros. Ultimate GameCube controller. It works perfectly on my Wii. I can play GameCube games, and Wii games that support the GameCube controller with no issues.

El control se siente bien, resistente, no parece que tenga algún fallo, los joystick están bastante resistentes, los botones de bien muy bien, Tiene un logo de smash la diferencia de su antecesor es que está no tiene fuego en el logo, El cable es más largo que los de otros controles de GameCube, Este control es perfecto para el empezar el 7 de diciembre con emoción. Comparando el peso con los primeros controles de GameCube este se siente más pesado pero cómodo.
