I think the main thing that pushes it above the wave bird for a majority of people should be the Bluetooth functionality allowing you to connect it to pretty much all your other systems. Like if you wanted to play GameCube games on your PC or smash bros on switch this allows you to do all those things for most likely a cheaper price. I think you should have at least mentioned that part of the control in this video as a separate section just so people discovering this controller know that

[@travisbowmanmusic]

Yeah, that's a super cool possibility as well. I just wanted to compare the two controllers in this video, as I was really only interested in using this on the GameCube.

[@TheWolfBunny64]

Looks like the Warrior has succeeded the Wavebird! Also, you're a fellow Divoom user like me!

[@travisbowmanmusic]

I've never been that deep into "decor", but I really like how this thing is great for multiple topics on camera. Just a nice little thing to have in the background 😀

[@19nims]

so i orderd mine, and i cant wait to get it, its seems super worth it just to replace as my main controller for the gamecube

[@19nims]

i will say one thing this has over the wave bird is rumble, HD rumble for the switch

[@poporowyo]

Nice use of Legend of Dragoon music

[@travisbowmanmusic]

I've got a few performance videos of these tunes on my channel as well, thank you!

[@TheUndersigned]

How does the D-pad there feel compared to the Neo Geo Pocket Color, which is kind of the gold standard for that kind of mechanical d-pad design?

[@RealSgtBrian]

Have you tried it with the Gamecube version of Super Mario Sunshine? I’m curious if the trigger works the same where if you lightly press it you can still spray and move.

[@braillynn4903]

This looks like the perfect controller for PSO if the bluetooth input lag isn't bad.

[@travisbowmanmusic]

It's actually not bad at all. I do PSO on the Dreamcast, and due to my PicoBoot mod chip, I can't install a third party broadband adapter in that serial port, as it's already being used. I could get an OEM broadband adapter, but those are too expensive for me. This is one of the best GameCube controllers I've ever used on the system, highly recommend it for a ton of games!

[@komabu]

Does it work with a Raspberry Pi or Linux in general? Could you maybe test it (with a Lakka bootstick)?

[@arramdanielyamson4634]

Hi, I just recently purchase mt NYXI warrior controller and immediately test it out but after connecting to my gamecube it doesn't work it's just connected but movement or buttons functionality. I try updating firmware and watch multiple videos how to connect but still no luck. I already contacted NYXI customer support but its abysmal. Is there anyone who experience this? How did you fix it? I will really appreciate any help.

[@rudolphgreen2641]

Did you get things figured out?? I just ordered mine

[@meriec]

Maybe try pairing it to somthing else or figuring out a way to device reset it

[@TheSlimeKilling_Minecart]

Hall effect, you say? This should replace my JoyCon, not my GameCube controller

[@nickrayer3776]

I mean. You can used it for both

[@PaperBanjo64]

How do these work on racing games on Switch?

[@travisbowmanmusic]

I haven't tested it on the Switch, I was more interested in it as a GameCube controller. But there are other reviews out there that focus on its Switch compatibility. I imagine it would be pretty good for racing games!

[@PaperBanjo64]

@@travisbowmanmusic oh alright, but I take it the triggers work correctly on Super Mario Sunshine on the 'Cube?
