The prominent accessory creator PowerA has announced two new lines of officially licensed Nintendo Switch controllers.

This time, the company is releasing wireless versions, as traditional or Gamecube-styled gamepads. The Gamecube pads also have a wired variant for a significantly lower price.

Key Features:
  • Bluetooth Wireless freedom
  • Features motion controls and Advanced Gaming Buttons
  • Ergonomic design with standard button layout
  • LEDs for power, button mapping, player number and low battery warning
  • Includes two AA batteries for up to 30 hours of gameplay
  • Official licensed product with 2-year limited warranty – Register at PowerA.com

The wireless controllers will retail at $49.99, whilst the wired Gamecube pad will release at a much lower price of $24.99.

Well, I suppose this is kinda nice. Although I think I have enough GC controllers and already have a pro contoller. I think I’ll just buy a GC adapter.

You can NEVER have enough GameCube controllers! Then again I collect controllers like some people collect shoes!

As much as I'd like to like this, I don't trust PowerA. I work in a game store and I've seen probably at least half of the PowerA stuff I sell returned as defective pretty quick. Not a good sign. Hori is where it's at.

Oh what is it? I've never heard this?
When playing GameCube games in Nintendont, you can hold down L+ZL or L+ZR to have GameCube games act as if ZL and ZR are at 50%. Otherwise ZL and ZR = L and R 100% Not as ideal for racing games but it works for Mario Sunshine and Luigi's Mansion.
