GameCube Controller recommendation?

If you’ve never used a GameCube controller I would highly recommend just sticking with a pro controller. Don’t get me wrong the GC controller is great but you absolutely must get the Nintendo version. The smash 4/smash ultimate versions are pricey and hard to find, and good condition used controller

[OoT] First time playing, should I use an N64 controller for best experience?

i say you should wait for the n64 controller. when i go back to play n64 games on the n64 console or emulators - i always find that using a n64 controller feels much better than using a modern controller for it. but on other nintendo consoles, i use a modern controller like a wii u pro controller to

I see a lot of posts from people asking switch 1 or OLED and don’t make the same mistake as me… GET THE SWITCH 2!

I know what you mean. But I personally collect white consoles and handhelds. So far they all have looked fine and not yellowed. The only culprit has been rubber thumb sticks on some Nintendo Wii Pro controller and Wii U Pro controller. But it’s not very yellow just a hint. It seems some white rubber

Grim Dawn on a controller - returning player experience

I play on my laptop with a Nintendo Wii U pro controller connected by way of a Magic NS usb Bluetooth connector. It’s basically great.

Wii U pro controller doesn’t pair

I would see if 8bitdo makes their own version of a wiiU controller. Nintendo products don't like to cooperate with unlicensed 3rd party hardware. In fact my SN30 pro was no longer supported on the Nintendo switch, after two years of gliding across Hyrule, suddenly I can't play cult of the lamb becau

Nintendo reportedly plans to cut Switch 2 production by 33% after a lackluster holiday season

funny, the OG switch didn't have Bluetooth until it magically did. What? Every Nintendo home console after the GameCube has had Bluetooth. It's how Wii Remotes connected to the Wii, WiiU Pro Controllers connected to the WiiU, and how all JoyCons connect to Nintendo Switch devices wirelessly. What th

I feel like everyone forgot how greedy Nintendo were with the Wii U pricing model

You're right, basic model at $300 was a ripoff, then Nintendo price dropped the deluxe model and discontinued the basic when it sold horribly. Then they never price dropped the deluxe model below the basic launch price of $300 since that would have erased profit margins for an already poor seller. W

Switch-Battery won't reload with 3 different cables. Is the battery dead?

Okay, I had something similar happen with me recently with my Wii u pro controller, it would not charge with anything other than the original cable it came with. Use the cable that came with the switch from Nintendo. If that doesn't work, you might have to take it to a tech repair place.

Found an image on an old hard drive from December 2013, summarizing a bunch of big things that happened that year.

I don't know though, I think most people thought the Wii U was simply a gamepad add-on for the Wii and not its own console and I think that's what sank it. The Wii U did have a fantastic standalone controller, the Wii U Pro Controller, considered to be one of the best controllers ever made thanks in
