GameCube your Switch 

The real answer is the best one doesn’t exist. Idk why someone doesn’t make a decent GameCube controller that looks and plays like the original GameCube controller

NYXI just made something exactly like that recently called the Wizard. It really looks more beefier than the Retro Fighters, it comes with 1 GC adapter with a USB C port for PC. It can be used for a variety of systems (any system that utilizes the GameCube controller and also as a Switch controller). The NYXI also had Hall effect sticks and programmable back buttons.

I have a Blade because I like the larger dpad for indie/retro games and the symmetrical stick placement is more familiar to me being more of a PlayStation gamer. It's a decent controller but my main issue is the face buttons feel pretty stiff. I'm not sure if that's just because I haven't used it a lot or if they're just going to stay that way.

You might not know this, but it is possible to mix and match the Retro Fighters wireless controller products as long as it's the Defender, BladeGC and BattlerGC. I was able to make the BladeGC work on a PS2 via Defender receiver, and it actually works as a Defender alternative with the better form factor and directional button placement. Fighting games feel much better when using a BladeGC, though inputting the "gigantic press" motion supers can be a bit frustrating compared to OEM directional buttons.

I'm assuming the triggers aren't analog like the original GC? Like for Mario sunshine it would only let you shoot out the full amount of water?

While the BattlerGC seems fine as a controller with a Gamecube button layout, I can't say it's something I'm personally interested in. Part of what I like about a Gamecube controller is also the feel of the body of the controller. Funny enough, I don't even think the original Gamecube controller is even the best anymore, at least for modern standards. It's buttons feel are still the best, but it lack of of a right shoulder button, stiff and small directional pad, and lack of a select/-/share button makes me not really care to use mine. Also, I'll be honest, while I prefer the button feel of the Original Gamecube, as long as they aren't completely horrible, I don't mind the button feel of many other 3rd party controllers as much since I generally adjust pretty quickly. In that regard, my Exlene Gamecube Style controller will still be my go to but even that one is FAR from perfect.

What if the analog and dpad were on a switch-like rail and could be slid off, flipped, and would slide on again so you could swap the analog and dpad. Like a dpad/analog switch.

I was never able to get a Wavebird back in the day, it was always out of stock. I’m assuming this would make a good Wavdbird clone since it has an adapter for Ganecube?

I just wish they'd hurry up and make a rechargeable version of the Power A GameCube switch controller. I just can't cave in and buy it until that's a thing but that's exactly the type of controller I want.

Until someone, somewhere can make a GameCube-style controller for Switch that actually accurately mimics the original GameCube controller right down to its unique analog triggers, I’m just going to stick with my PowerA GameCube controller I already have for my Switch.

I have this retro fighters one with the yellow C stick. I use it more than the pro

kevin my question is if this controller have a drift like the original joycons because i like the design and might buy it if doesnt have a drift

I actually dont like the original GC triggers, so this is a plus for me :) I just miss the yellow right analog

Does it have rumble when connected to the GameCube. Wave bird does not.

Used it, comfortable shape and feel but the analog triggers are not for me.

The USB dongle has been laggy on anything i tried it on , the GC dongle is great tho .

This was working fine on my steamdeck but stopped working last night. My pc reads it fine though, anyone have a similar issue? I wonder if the recent update messed things up.

Question: I wanna use this with 3D All-Stars version of Super Mario Sunshine and I saw it has an adapter for GameCube. I know when you plug in a GameCube controller with the Adapter the controls go back to the OG controls. If I use that Adapter this controller comes with would the Triggers be like Switch or OG GameCube Trigger?

they were so close to a must buy for me but then ruined it with the triggers. dang

As of know, its the nyxi wizard

Hear me out, the best gamecube controller is the…. Original gamecube controller

No Kevin, I really wish you could have EXLENE gamecube controller in hand. you will see the light my friend.

Looks cheap + for me, needs to be split/joycon compatible

MR KENSON SF6 YOU SHOULD TALK ABOUT SF6!

While cool, people seem to miss the point of the Nyxi Wizard. ACTUAL JOYCONS.

Exactly like 8bitdo triggers from what it looks like.

I bought one a week ago today, and I returned it yesterday because of stuck-drift. I personally don’t recommend this.

I got this controller but I didn't like it it feels cheap for what I pay.

They just need to bring back the wavebird. Problem solved

If the Switch can actually play GameCube games.

What if Kev has a rasta under that cap?

Yall know theres an actual Gamecuber controller made by Nintendo for the switch, right?

theyre all ass except the OG gamecube. nobody has gotten it right and the only real chance was panda global and they got shut down to oblivion

There's no such thing a the "BEST" Gamecube anything. There's only "the least offensive and mediocre" Gamecube controllers. Let's never forget that nearly everything associated with the Gamecube (and by proxy, Nintendo) was utter mediocrity.😂

>no gyro Hard pass.

Not a fan of these at all, they look like Fisher Price toys..

A failed controller experiment.
