Reddit reviews Gamecube Controller Platinum

These types can be really good. I got a spice orange one from amazon, and it was legit in near mint condition (had some MINOR dirt/scuff on it)

I bought 3 of these platinum ones in 2014 and they're all still super crisp I've actually had people buy two of them off me because of how good they are.

Link: Amazon

Edit: It appears the seller I bought it from doesn't carry GC controllers anymore but if you're careful about the seller you should be good.

If I were you I would go for one these, used isn't bad, you might get a great controller for $25

also I've had good luck posting in local facebook for sale groups asking if anyone has a gamecube controller. many people have old ones laying around that didn't get much use. plus you can feel it before you buy it

Any official ones that are made from Nintendo. Some recommendations are: Black, Platinum (Silver), Indigo, White (Japan Only), Black with Sm4sh logo, White with Sm4sh logo (Also Japan Only)

Edit: http://www.amazon.com/Gamecube-Controller-Platinum/dp/B0002Y5180 Here's a link to one of them if you need it. If you end up purchasing it, make sure it says Nintendo on the back with the GameCube logo on the front.

Edit 2: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Super-Smash-Classic-Gamecube-Controller/dp/B00O9GW8VK Here's a newer and cheaper one.

Edit 3: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Super-Smash-Classic-Gamecube-Controller/dp/B00O9GW8TC/ref=pd_sim_63_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41Kq8v8y%2ByL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0GE2XNN7QJJHG9K4H5FW Japan exclusive will make you feel cool among all your smash friends.

I didn't realize those weren't real. Here's one.

For any kind of smash, even casually, it's more than definitely worth buying one. I was told this probably 100 times before I switched off nunchuck, and after a day or 2 of adjustment, I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Even casually, the GameCube controller is the quintessential controller for all smash (64 included) and you should look into buying either a Smash 4 GC controller, or a GC Legacy controller (a new original GC controller). Make sure you don't buy 3rd party though, as they feel and play like literal ass and may turn you off GC controllers entirely. \

It is important to make sure any controller you buy is first party! I can't stress that enough! They shoulod have either a "Nintendo Gamecube" or smash ball on them, if they are black (unless they're made by a reputable customs maker) don't purchase them.

I'm pretty sure you got a 3rd party controller. The official Nintendo controllers have "Nintendo Gamecube" written above the pause button, shown on the Amazon page. The controller you bought does not have that (unless the picture is different than the controller you got). In my experience these controllers are way worse than any Nintendo controllers, original or Smash 4. For your next controller, I recommend you get one of those kind. The Smash 4 ones are a lot cheaper (~$50-60 difference) if that is a major factor.

Is any used GC controller with above 4 stars usually good? Im tired of my Smash4 controller not dash dancing no matter how hard I smash the damn stick.


Particularly im eyeing this controller an this one too


One more question. Does color effect anything? Why is it that pretty much everyone uses the white color?
