​

The legendary maker of third party accessories again looks to please consumers in announcing three new GameCube-themed USB controllers for the Nintendo Switch. Accounting for the additional required buttons for the console, an extra shoulder button has been added for ZL, and the space where Start would otherwise sit has been fitted with the additional Minus, Home, and Screenshot buttons. On top of this, the controller boasts a three-stage rapid fire feature functional with each button, including the D-Pad.

​

Available in October in the above designs, would you like to see these controllers come west? Would you buy them for the upcoming release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, or would you rather use the official GameCube adapter? Let us know your thoughts.

Oh wow. How much money did you get for that news?

I'm taking the Mario one!
Screw 3rd party USB controllers, now I can finally use a proper controller for Dolphin Gamecube emulation!

this is a 3rd party controller too not mae by nintendo xD, hori just has licensing to make nintendo controller.

That's great, these will be really useful for Dolphin.
They look almost identical to the Classic Controller ones they made (Hori Battle Pad), and those were supposedly really good.
But why did they go with a single Z button? The Hori Battle Pad had one on either side, that makes much more sense than having to toggle it between the two.

I wonder if this one's quality is remotely as good as the orignal. review it for us guys.

Pffft, if only. I don't do FP news that often so I'm still kinda coming to terms with everything. In my defence here though, Hori are somewhat legendary as peripheral makers. They go waaaaaay back.

who tf wants wired these days?!

I'd buy it if it had 4 shoulder buttons.

It does.

I'll probably buy one if they come to the UK, they look pretty great.

 

[Xzi]

who tf wants wired these days?!

Anybody who wants to play with the best Smash controller. Also anybody who doesn't want to buy additional hardware for wireless XB1 controller use with PC (me).

Yeah the z button thing sounded weird, so I went looking for pictures. The pics & text here suggest it has the two full sets of shoulder buttons that you'd expect:

Maybe you can use either zl or zr to act as the z button, maybe that's where the confusion comes from?

 

[Sliter]

what about the R and L? they are "click" like the old as classic controll port or would have pressure too?

Ahhhhh. My apologies, I was working using a translation and it became a little muddled. I'll edit the post.

I'm not a fan of branded controllers. Couldn't they make regular ones?

i highly doubt they are pressure ones, since its a switch controller and no switch controller uses pressure sensitive controllers i see no reason for them to pay extra for a feature that wont be used by 99% of games, maybe only smash and maybe, since joycons and switch pro controller dont have pressure triggers i doubt sakurai makes gc controllers have an advantage over switch pro imo.

Racing games could greatly benefit from it though.

I hope these are the same price ad the rumored Power A Cube controllers. Last time Hori made a set of Cube controllers, was during Smash for Wii U and they were priced the same as the PDP pads.

 

[chartube12]

I hope these don’t have the weird GameCube shoulder buttons. They were very uncomfortable to use. Hard to press at times. Sometimes they also required extreme force to work. They were the worst parts of the GameCube controller n I hope they never make a mistake of using them ever again

They'd only benefit from it if the devs account for it when making the game, which is unlikely if only a few third party controllers support it. If Nintendo made an official controller with proper triggers, it could be something that's used, but it seems unlikely.

 

[gudenau]

Make a purple/transparent one and I will be interested. :-P

The ones hori made for Wii u did not have pressure, don't think these will either.

I was with the small hope of GC VC mini leak there XD
