Officially Licensed GameCube Controller Wannabes for Wii U and Nintendo Switch

I take some wannabe GameCube controllers out for a spin. These were usually released to coincide with a Super Smash Bros. game and were designed for Wii, Wii U and/or Nintendo Switch.

I was at Toys R Us one day and happened to come across a number of the GameCube Adapters. I bought one impulsively for the mere fact that they were hard to come by, and honestly barely used it for Smash Wii U. Fast forward several years now to having a Switch with broken-ass joycons that drift, this adapter has now become my best friend. Amazing how I’m still using the GameCube controller three whole console generations later.

[@bland9876]

I still think that the 8bitdo SN30 pro+ is the best pro controller for Switch. Some games that don't use as many buttons can be used with a GameCube controller and I believe it supports button remapping so yeah.

[@Weneedaplague]

Works on dolphin too. Probably it's biggest selling point next to the switch

[@90sNath]

​@@bland9876Year late, but button remapping is disables for GameCube Controllers.

[@DE23]

1:46 You can actually run GameCube ROMs on a soft modded Wii U with pretty much perfect compatibility and GameCube Controller Adapter support (Which is actually my preferred method of playing GameCube games over HDMI), so really the only reason was the disc drive and no memory card or controller ports.

[@staringcorgi6475]

Couldn’t you do that on a wii by that i mean og wii

[@MrFusion]

@@staringcorgi6475 yes you can, and yes it was only the original model. It is really nice on the Wii U though, I hacked mine and with like half an hour I was playing double dash on a ps5 controller.

You can even emulate the GC LAN adapter. I have played Double Dash with one player on the GC on TV and P2 playing the game on and controlling the game with the Wii U GamePad.

I remember thinking I would never get a GameCube controller adapter after seeing it was sold out everywhere. A year after it released, I was at a GameStop and just saw four of them hanging on one of the hooks (or whatever you call those things) just nonchalantly.

[@severeerror52]

1:40 I can confirm that the Wii U is indeed entirely capable of playing GameCube games hardware wise. Hackers have gotten it to work pretty much flawlessly. Fair enough if they didn't want to support it hardware wise, but it was baffling they never threw some of them on the eShop at least.

[@HeyJoshyJosh]

[@jamccarthyson]

Fun fact: Power A secretly released an updated version of the GameCube style controller for the Switch, replacing the fake analog grey triggers with a more straightforward button feel

[@JmKrokY]

Cool

[@bland9876]

I actually find the analog feel to be perfectly fine because it doesn't have to travel too far unlike the PDP controller in which I modified.

[@RGamer2009]

The fact that Gamecube controllers on switch via the GC adapter work across the entire Switch OS and any game that supports a Pro controller really really helps when playing local multiplayer games on Switch. Having controls that people are familiar with, even when they haven't played games in some time is very helpful, especially with games like Mario Party Superstars and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe that don't need every button, so the GC controllers really come in clutch when you need alot of controllers for multiplayer.

[@wesnohathas1993]

Still kind of a drag that the Switch doesn't support button remapping on GC controllers since if a game uses any of the four missing inputs it becomes a problem. Would even help a lot if a GC controller could be registered as a split joycon.

[@ZeldaFan64DD]

The Hori one uses digital triggers because they're just a tad more consistent for Smash 4 and Ultimate. Having digital triggers for shield buttons is more intuitive in a game that doesn't have analog light shielding like melee

[@polocatfan]

plus switch doesn't have analog trigger support afaik

[@nitinanku]

@@polocatfanit does technically support them for some games like Trials, but very very very few games will ever use them

20:31 This is a relatable auto-pilot moment. I was really looking forward to you talking about the PSP controller, since it's what I find to be the best alternative to the GC controller (aside from the fact it's wired). The big difference is that ZR and ZL are simple buttons like the Hori controller, but I think it works out since all games on Switch don't need analogue.

I have it and dont recommend, the build quality is not good, especially the analog caps, which break easily especially using Smash Bros. I thought that it could be a counterfeit controller until I saw some reviews complaining about the same issues I have and it doesnt freeze on homebrew Wii apps like counterfeit Classic Controllers do. Aside that there are some cool things about the PDP controllers (when you fix the analog caps, recommend to open the controller with care because it has soldered cables inside and put a epoxi repair putty around the hole on the analog caps), I like the way the buttons are and I would call it "GameCube inspired" instead of a GameCube controller, because they made some slight changes compared to a real controller, the contoller in general is more rounded and the dpad is slightly bigger than the original.

[@SkylightCiel]

I used to frequent smash tournaments during the Smash 4 era and honestly I never saw anyone use any of these. It makes me wonder how many people actually bought one.

[@devinmix7508]

I extensively and almost exclusively used that exact Metal Mario controller for several years when Smash 4 was my number one hobby and pastime. All in all it was a workable solution to the problem of wanting a GameCube controller, but I had two main criticisms of it. First off, the thing is light as hell. It has virtually no weight whatsoever and feels very cheap, hollow, and plasticky as a result. In all honesty, just a bit of deadweight inside of the shell would have helped it a lot. Second, what you said about the triggers being digital-only was accurate. There's no analog support whatsoever within the controller just by nature of it being a classic controller pro in the eyes of the console. The issue is that as a result, PDP had to set a point in the trigger's throw where it would activate, and for some inexplicable reason they decided to put it all the way at the bottom. You can actually tell where it is if you press on the trigger slowly and gently. There's a point at the bottom where you feel a bit of resistance before it eventually gives with a very spongey feel. What this means is that every single time you want to press either of the triggers, you have to throw them all the way down, which is both annoying if you aren't initially aware of it and actually somewhat detrimental in a game like Smash that demands quick reflexes and responsiveness. All in all, I don't regret using the controller for as long as I did (especially given that I didn't have much money to spend when I got it) but if I had to go back and do it all again, I would absolutely invest in a proper GameCube controller setup instead. In my opinion, the compromises that PDP made to save costs were fair but ultimately did more harm then good in the end.

[@Anthestudios]

I'm glad someone finally recognises how "uncanny" these controllers are. They look like GameCube controllers, but they definitely don't feel like ones. Unfortunately all reviews you find online (especially on KZbin) praise these controllers for being "just like the original". I don't know how anyone who's spent at least ten minutes with the GameCube controller could say such a thing.

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

I still have my Hori Battle Pad to this day! I bought it back in 2014 with my brother, thinking it was some regular NGC controller, and I was surprised to find out it was a Wii Classic controller shaped like a GC controller! I loved using the thing to play Smash and Mario Kart 8 back when I had a Wii U. Such a shame that the official Wii U GC controller adapter wasn't supported by any other game besides Smash Wii U. Real missed opportunity there.

It almost feels like he didn’t want to put in the effort to write, edit, and record the skits for a Woz episode on these concepts so just shoves it to an unscripted Scott’s Stash. I could be totally wrong though. And it’s not like it’s bad content, either, I just miss weekly/biweekly Woz episodes

​@@kpdotexe3649 a lot of people seem to like these, & the fact that he can just talk for an hour or whatever about whatever is definitely less work, but that makes it a lot easier on him. he can pump these out faster than full episodes & talk for longer this way.

[@junebugforever]

I think this also warrants a shout-out to the 8bitdo Gamecube controller adapter, which I do have, and that's great as a wireless option, since you don't have to plug it into the console, and you can just use any old Gamecube controller with it. Plus it's got some of the Pro controller buttons on the adapter itself. It's my go-to controller for MarioKart, and a great way to get an extra Switch controller for low cost (assuming you already have a Gamecube controller lying around)

[@JediMB]

It suddenly feels really weird that I've used the same set of 3(!) controllers across four generations of Nintendo consoles (plus PC) over the last 20 years. Granted, they put in a huge majority of their playtime with GCN and Wii, but those things really are sturdy as heck and my favorite controller designs for 3D games.

I actually wouldn't recommend any 3rd party ones besides hitbox or mayflash. I go to smash tournaments a lot and someone brought a bad adapter and after I plugged my controller in it got stuck in there for a few minutes before I could yank it out. Apparently they're known to straight up eat your controller

i’ve had a powera one since as far back as i can think, either with the switch launch or as soon as i saw the first one on shelves. i love that thing to absolute death it feels so so so good to use. if i’m playing switch it’s always in “tabletop” mode propped up near me and i’ll use either the powera gc or the joycon double a battery grips because i prefer my rechargeable aa over rechargeable internals(faster to get back to 100% when dead vs needing to be plugged in). now that i think about it the gc controller being on regular batteries is another reason i absolutely adore it. i wish it did have some rumble but im not that torn up about missing it

[@thelemonadestandman]

As someone who was in the smash scene (PM mostly, but also a good deal of Melee) when the Wii U controller adapter was released, the new stock of Gamecube controllers was a godsend for us. High quality 1st party controllers for a reasonable price, plus the adapter worked on PC so we could use them on Netplay through dolphin or other emulators. They didn't work natively through dolphin yet though so we had to install a 3rd party app to get the pc to recognize it as a controller, but I was doing that already to get my PS3 controller to work on Steam games back then anyway so it's not like this was a huge deal breaker if you wanted to play something on PC at the time. This isn't even mentioning Nintendont on Wii U, which was a hack for the game that utilized the Wii U's Wii-mode to natively run gamecube games through a flash drive/SD Card and worked with the adapter as well (as well as other bluetooth controllers like the pro controller and others). So it's not even theoretical anymore, the Wii U literally could play gamecube games natively, but it's disc reader wasn't able to read the gamecube discs even with Nintendont so we had to use digital storage (which honestly, around this time was when Melee Discs were really starting to go up in price, so honestly it may have even been for the best that it couldn't read discs. If you had Nintendont on an old Wii model that still had gamecube controller ports than that would be able to read the game disc for you though.) Being in the smash scene had been the most accessible it had ever been in a long time.

[@SamTuckMan]

I've had the wired powerA gamecube controller for a few months now and it's been really nice! I feel like for the price, its really hard to complain. I use it mostly with my PC, but I definitely use it with my switch a lot too.

[@masonmcfarlane9991]

I have an off brand one I got a LONG time ago to emulate Wind Waker I believe. Little did I know it would single handedly fuel my melee addiction in 2024

[@Some-guy-on-the-internet]

I have the Espeon edition of the PowerA Switch controller. It's based on an updated model that changed the triggers to feel like normal buttons rather than faking the analog travel of a real GC controller. I wouldn't recommend it at the usual price of around £40 but I found these Pokémon editions being sold for a mere £25 at Aldi, of all places. At that price, I can't complain. It's good enough for just about everything and for some games I even prefer it over my Pro Controller. If you can find one for cheap, it's worth picking up.

[@thatkiddavidpalacio]

Can you use the gamecube adapter on the wii u for wii games that support it ?

[@trentonkoichi]

I picked up the PDP Fight Pad for the Switch on sale one day for like $10 when I was getting into Smash Ult. I actually really liked it at first BECAUSE of the flat, paddle L, R and Z’s as well as it’s bigger size, while still keeping its GCC form. Over time, it’s cheaper quality started to show as my control stick started getting bad snapback and misinputting. Eventually I just got one of the smash GCCs and chopped down the trigger springs.

[@SuperGamer071]

I remember using those controllers for both Smash 4 and Brawl since for some reason the adapter was rare af and it only worked with Smash 4 for some stupid reason

[@CorporalPig22]

I actually have that exact same PowerA controller, and I typically use it for Dolphin. Although, I did notice a bit of drift on the right stick, but I was able to fix that by fiddling with the potenciometers.

[@cobaltis]

Same but my powerA controller's right stick sticks to the gate when I'm using it.

[@kpdotexe3649]

Yeah I had an issue with that too, but it was really a simple fix, I just had to adjust my flux capacitors and make a slight adjustment to the barometer. However when you do that it shifts the calorimeter up just a tad bit so I had to use screw in the fiscal walugiforsmashinator. Overall, a pretty easy fix, very simple

You should keep your eye out for the panda controller.

The Exlene brand of Gamecube like Pro controllers are a very interesting set of controllers to me. They stay faithful to the layout and feel of a gamecube conroller layout but make some id say "Improvements" or changes to bring it closer to modern controllers Sadly the triggers are Digital and feel alightly different but still feel good to use.

[@IAmTheShadowStar]

I actually own a sonic gamecube like control & it isn't that bad honestly, the triggers aren't like the actual ones but they still feel nice & they include an alternative for the c stick that's exactly like the other stick so if you don't like the original, you can swap it out

[@Fireball_Productions]

I have that exact one! It’s a PDP Fight Pad *Pro* and in my opinion as somebody who has used both I prefer the PDP one a lot more.

[@eggsamillion]

An interesting tidbit about the Wii U PDP Wired Fight Pads: the GameCube and Wii Classic Controller both had analog triggers, but like the Wii Classic Controller Pro, the PDP controller doesn't have analog, despite being designed after a GameCube controller. They FEEL like actual triggers, but when testing them with homebrew programs, you can see it only registers as a button press. Regardless, I don't think any games actually utilized the original Classic Controller's analog triggers, which is probably why PDP chose to not include it, since it was only really made for SSB4.

I actually loved getting the Red and Blue Smash Bros soundtrack CDs. Catch me goin 90 on the interstate blasting Stickerbrush Symphony remix at max volume.

I specifically remember having a Wii U version of that PowerA wireless pro controller.... The left stick was completely destroyed in just a couple months.

YOO the Metal Mario controller! Never had a GameCube or Class Controller so this was my go-to and I loved it!

I always found it weird seeing those on the shelf, I didn't see too much of a purpose and I'm glad I don't have any taking up space in my house
