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

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 Pro Controller 2 has now been added support for Steam Input, can someone test it out?
Newsflash, Nintendo has been using the Pro Controller nomenclature since the Wii U, Pro Controller basically means This is a no frills, no weirdness controller The original Wii also had a pro controller and secondly Nintendo calls their regular controller a Pro controller they don't sell one of thos

Console controllers are a great example of convergence to one ideal form factor without losing uniqueness and personality.
The Nintendo Wii U pro controller was such an underrated controller. It actually put both sticks in the outer positions which was so natural and so perfect. Thumbs in the outer positions for 3D games. Thumbs in the inner positions for 2D games. Sure, the PlayStation does that in reverse, but honestl

Honest opinions on the new Wii U?
Pro controller is great! Feels a lot like the 360, the sticks are weird but I like getting priority on the D-Pad. Not a lot of games right now but Zelda Wii U and the next 3D Mario are really gonna make the system for me. Still struggling to get behind the gamepad... It's got cool uses in Nintendo L

Pairing Wii U Pro Controller after Motherboard Swap
Nice setup! The Wii U Pro controller really is a beast, probably the most underrated controller ever made For the PIN issue, try putting the controller in sync mode first (hold the sync button until the lights flash rapidly) then immediately run bluetoothctl pair before trying to connect. Sometimes
