PowerA GameCube Style Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch - Toad

The answer is no, obviously. You can never have too much Toad!This controller takes the classic GameCube shape, makes the whole thing wireless, and now I have the coolest (and most easily identified) controller in the house!It works perfectly! I can play Monster Hunter, Pokemon, and of course the classic Smash Bros with ease, comfort, and a complete lack of lag.If you're like me and you simply must have everything with Toad on it, or if you're like me and you simply must have many different controllers, or if you're like me and you love bringing classic vibes into modern arenas, this controller is for you!

I absolutely love this! I was looking for a GameCube style controller that worked with Android. I tried another brand and had issues, but this one seems to work perfectly. It also comes with a cord that has a decent length to it, which is nice. It feels almost identical to the original GameCube controller, with a few differences. The shoulder buttons are different than the original GameCube in the sense that they either go in or they don't, they don't have the range of the old controller. They also added another Z button on the left, which is a nice upgrade. It's also lighter than the original GameCube controller, which isn't an issue. Overall, if you're looking for something to use for Super Smash Brothers on the Switch or for games on your Android, and you want something that feels as close to the original GameCube controller as possible but with the additional buttons that modern systems require, I highly recommend this.

I recently broke my original GameCube controller, and I was on the hunt for a replacement. The PowerA GameCube Style Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch (Toad edition) has been an excellent choice, and I couldn’t be happier with it!1. Great Design & Build QualityThe GameCube style design is spot-on! It feels just like the original GameCube controller, but with the added benefit of being wireless. The buttons and analog sticks are responsive and comfortable, making it feel very familiar while playing games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The Toad design adds a fun touch, too—it's colorful and stands out without being too over the top.2. Smooth Wireless PerformanceOne of my biggest concerns was the wireless connection, but this controller connects seamlessly to my Nintendo Switch. The Bluetooth connectivity is fast and reliable, and I haven’t experienced any lag or disconnections during intense matches. It works just as well as a wired controller, which is a huge plus for me.3. Perfect for Smash UltimateIf you’re a fan of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, this controller is perfect. The layout is ideal for fast inputs and precise control, especially with the C-stick for Smash attacks. I’ve found it incredibly responsive, and it really enhances my gameplay compared to using the Joy-Con or Pro Controller.4. Comfortable to Use for Long SessionsThe controller is surprisingly comfortable, even for extended play sessions. The grip feels natural, and my hands don’t cramp up after playing for hours, which is a common issue I’ve had with other controllers.5. Affordable PriceThis controller is a great alternative to more expensive official controllers, and it offers fantastic value for the price. It gives you all the functionality of a GameCube controller with the convenience of wireless use, and it’s a fraction of the price of some other options.Final ThoughtsIf you’re looking for a GameCube-style controller for your Nintendo Switch, especially for games like Smash Ultimate, the PowerA Wireless Controller is a perfect choice. It has a great design, excellent performance, and is comfortable to use. Highly recommend it!Pros:Classic GameCube design with wireless connectivityGreat for Smash Ultimate and other gamesComfortable and responsive controlsFun designsAffordable priceCon:Lacks some advanced features like motion controls (but not a dealbreaker for most Smash players)

I brought this to a computer festival for some GameCube emulation. Well I did have to install a third-party driver for a macOS 10.15. (I believe it was the Xbox 360 controller driver), once that was done, this worked like a charm.Overall, I would say these are close to an original game game controller, but not 100% perfect. I asked people how it felt, and more experience, GameCube players said “close, but not exact”. I agree: close, but not exact. As far as I’m concerned, it’s close enough, are of good quality, it’s really nice not having to deal with batteries, or wireless controller is going to sleep all the time. I’m very happy I purchased this. I haven’t used it with the switch yet, but I’m hoping this will be perfect for GameCube games when the Switch 2 comes out.
