Official Nintendo White Classic Gamecube Controller

This controller is a bargain and a life-saver for gamers like myself. One of the unfortunate problems with older gaming systems like the Nintendo Gamecube is that once newer systems come out and manufacturing slows and stops, the prices skyrocket. So when my Gamecube controller was destroyed in a flood, I was pretty much out of luck. Used video-game controllers are very hit and miss (I've bought several that just flat-out didn't work), and new controllers for the Gamecube cost anywhere from $60-$200 here in the US because they aren't manufactured anymore. (That's the price for official controllers, I don't mess with crummy third-party controllers) I was genuinely sad, because some of my favorite games of all time were released on the very underrated Gamecube, and I was doomed to be unable to play them anymore. Thankfully, I stumbled onto this and ordered one, and it was a tremendous find and a great purchase, mainly because it is very affordable, only costing about $40 or so with shipping, saving the buyer a significant amount of money. Even though it's imported from Japan, this official Gamecube controller will work on American Gamecube and Wii systems, so don't worry. It features a very nice white colorscheme that matches the Wii, and has a 10' cord (a few feet longer than the controller's regular cord) which allows the player to sit back a bit more even though they are still corded to the system. The controller feels good in the hands and is very sturdy. The only slight complaint I have is that the shoulder buttons feel a bit "hollow" and light, but it's nothing to worry about, it's a very minor complaint. Honestly, if you need a new Gamecube controller, this is the way to go. Don't waste money on the pathetically expensive controllers here in the US... buy one of these, it's the same thing and costs a lot less.

With the arrival of Smash Bros 4 Wii U and the Gamecube controller adapter I found myself needing another Gamecube controller due to 13 long years of heavy usage, especially through Smash Bros Melee and Brawl. This controller is exactly what you could need and expect; it is an official controller exactly matching my others but I had never seen a solid white one before. I found the white to be very poetic as the Gamecube has come and gone and is ancient by gaming standards so the white conveys old age. I was extremely hesitant to open the packaging knowing that I may never see a pristine unopened Gamecube controller box ever again but when I mustered the will to carefully remove it, I was in awe. With all my other controllers polished perfectly smooth from the countless hours of use, to hold one again in a pristine and virgin condition for the first time in over a decade was both bizarre and breath taking. The sticks were firm and responsive as were the buttons and triggers; it was as if I was gazing at freshly fallen snow that had yet to be disturbed and was as crisp as ever. The mild grain on the plastic was so unfamiliar as my other controllers had been rendered smooth years ago, I found myself handling the fresh new controller as if it were an artifact from an era lost to time. This controller, I suppose, represents one last hurrah for the Gamecube and though there are many new types of controllers for the Wii U and Smash Brothers, this one has the most personal meaning. I found myself hooking up my old Gamecube to revisit some of my favorites from yesteryear and was able to go back to a seemingly simpler time. The controller itself handles very well. Solid build, sturdy buttons, it has the same manufacturing as the previous runs controllers so I expect this one to last many years into the future as my other controllers already have. The stunningly white cord is a great variation from the black cord found on my other copies and the cord is even a few feet longer like the Smash Bros edition recently released. If you are familiar with the Gamecube controller as I am, you will find no difficulty picking this one up and letting your muscle memory do the rest. Ignore the JAPAN-ONLY labels, the controller works perfectly fine with my American Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, and PC adapter. I definitely recommend this controller for people looking for another controller for Smash Bros 4 or any Gamecube games, or to wow your friends with the ability to hold a Gamecube controller still in perfect condition, or even if you are someone with the inkling to have a pristine controller for your collection. This controller was one of the best things I bought this year due to functionality and sentimental reasons; I hope you find yourself enjoying your own as much as I did.

Oh Nintendo. It's quite amazing how you've always been a consistent force in the video game industry, and even more interesting, is the fact that your company created what is often considered one of the best controllers ever produced. With ergonomics and storage in mind, Nintendo created the gamecube controller with the intentions of making a controller that didn't force your hands into odd positions, while offering the maximum amount of control and buttons that is humanly possible. The left control stick was placed in the natural position for the thumb, with a nice amount of rubber placed on top to prevent slipping, as well as a C-stick specifically for camera control, kept out of the way of the main action. An additional Z button which is tiny, but quick and easy to press, allows for quick and precise actions, while the L and R triggers have both soft triggers, which activate when partially pressing down the trigger, and a hard trigger when you press it down and pass a certain threshold. The A, B, X, and Y buttons are all extremely responsive, as one would expect them to be, and the A and B button are both located in a spot that doesnt force you to overextend your finger. IF I had any real issues with this controller, it would be the following: A. The d-pad is terrible. It was put in as a control method for any extra 4 buttons the game would need that you dont need to control the game using the control stick B. The X and Y button are easy to lose track of, and to this day, I still sometimes confuse the position of these two buttons. One final thing to note is that this controller has an extra long cord, approximately 10 feet long, it allows you to play from rather large distances, which is a definite plus. Honestly a magnificent controller, and easily one of the better controllers I've ever owned.

Es todo lo que puedes esperar del mando original de Game Cube. Calidad en los botones, un cable largo y la caja en japonés :)

Only took three days to deliver and the controller is working perfectly not that I expect less.It's best to stick to wired first party controllers in general and only buy them brand new so that you have confidence that they will work for a very long time.I got the controller for £23.30 which isn't bad at all and your paying for quality so do yourself some justice and buy Nintendo controllers brand new and ditch third party knockoffs and ditch buying preowned controllers unless your that desperate(it's a gamble to get a decent controller that is pre owned).My body is ready for Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS and this controller will fight off the temptation to use the Super Smash bros edition controller so I can sell it someday or use it when this White controller wears out if it ever does.Non of my controllers have ever worn out apart from ones that were preowned and it probably wasn't my fault that they stopped working properly.The buttons feel great and your fingers/thumbs won't get cold which is a problem some controllers have as you may have experienced.If your really want it then buy it with confidence because it's brand new and has no faults and a longer cord than the original Gamecube controllers.Will work with your Gamecube,Wii and Wii U when the adapter comes out.

Very happy with my purchase. The controller came pretty much brand new from Japan. Everything is original and the extra length on the cord is great. The rumble feature is a plus and everything just feels tight nice and new. Will purchase again if it ever breaks but honestly it feels like it won’t ever. As a heavy smash player I 100% recommend one

Il s'agit bien d'une manette officielle avec un câble de 3 mètres (ce qui est un gros plus). La manette fonctionne parfaitement bien ce qui n'est pas de mon ancienne manette d'une sous-marque (qui avait un câble très court et ne fonctionnait plus correctement au bout de 2-3 mois). La manette officielle y'a que ça de vrai ! La manette est dans l'emballage d'origine (neuf), aucun défaut visible.

Prodotto arrivato in circa una settimana ,imballo perfetto,qualità del prodotto eccellente ,il controller ha un cavo di 3 m che risulta comodissimo anche se la console si trova a distanze considerevoli dal divano. Diffidate dunque delle scarse imitazioni a prezzi più bassi.
