Forums - Nintendo Discussion - GameCube controller

is Nintendo starting to produce wavebirds again? I hope so!



Around the Network

I use a standard Platinum GC controller with an extension and it pretty much makes it across my room with slack.(my rooms about 14ft length) The cables not really a problem in fact I kinda prefer my controllers wired..



I figured it'd be worth reposting this here:

Brand new Gamecube controllers - $28.90/£14.51 - Play Asia

Extension leads also from Play Asia -  $3.99/£2.00

 



I have three GC controllerds to play Melee and I never bought a Classic Contoller.
On Virtual Console, every game use the GC controller OR the Wii controller



Wii Fit is rapidly beating PS3...

Playing now: Apollo Justice, Majora's Mask

Going to play: Little King Story

If you can afford it and will be playing VC SNES games, get both. I really like the classic controller for VC games.

Hopefully nintendo will make Wireless versions of their add ons, or maybe just a wireless connector.

I think every Wii owner who has an interest in VC games should own both a Gamecube controller and a Classic controller. The GC controller is great for N64 games, and the Classic controller is great for everything else (especially SNES). Trying to play Contra III with a GC controller is an exercise in frustration, I can assure you.



Hates Nomura.

The GC D-pad is an abomination. That's all you need to know when it comes to VC.

That sounds like it's worth getting.  I didn't realize extension cords were that cheap.

It's awkwardly placed, but "abomination" seems like exaggeration to me.  But yeah, if you want to play SNES games you pretty much need the Classic Controller.

 Super Metroid is playable on a GC controller...
