Do you think it would be cool if Nintendo used the Gamecube controller (probably moreso the wavebird) as the main controller for NX.

Just add another Z button, and maybe change the c-stick to another regular joystick, maybe repaint the color of the buttons.

I think the Gamecube controller is the greatest controller of all time so I think it would be awsome if Nintendo used it again for NX.

But what do you think? Am I just crazy?

An updated Gamecube-esque controller would be amazing. If they replicate the layout of the Gamecube-esque controllers that plug into the Wiimote, that would be amazing, provided that they have the Gamecube controller's triggers of course. Also it would not need to plug into the Wiimote.

If they could make the controller have all the buttons that the Pro controller has, as well as gyro functions for good measure, it truly would be the best controller.

yes, they just have to redesign it  to make it look a little more modern

I think GameCube controllers are great but only for games built around that play style. Not all games can adapt to having a big central face button with three buttons to the side of it. If Nintendo wants to try again with third parties, they should stick to the pro controller layout.

They should keep that Wii U to GameCube usb converter compatible with NX for its future Smash Bros game though and make it work with other Nintendo games too.

No. I'm not a big fan of the Gamecube controller... I find that people mostly love it because it was the first decent controller Nintendo made, and was the successor to the abomination that was the N64 one.

I'd like it if they made the console compatible with the Gamecube adapters and stuff, and actually made the thing work on more than just Smash. Still, I'd rather see the next controller follow along the lines of either the Gamepad or the Pro Controller.


...No, the SNES literally was the base by which all modern controllers come from.

And the gamepad isn't going anywhere next gen.

If they go for a basic boring controller I'd hope it's inspired by the pro controller.

SNES was the base for modern controllers, but it wasn't of a particularly good quality.


I disagree.
