Gamecube Controllers


Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of picking up some extra GC controllers (for the impending Mario Party 5 and Mario Kart) but the official ones are a bit steep ($25 each... ugh). Are the third party controllers any good? Is there anywhere I can get them for cheap?

The ones I see one ebay are pretty much all 3rd party ones but the official ones still run into the $20's.

I would say get the official ones as they're (Nintendo) the only console controllers I've never had a problem with. My N64 controllers still work after six years of hard use!

I have never seen/used a third party that i liked the feel or look of. I like hte way that the micro con looks, especially the xbox one, but i have never used it.

You can pick up the official controllers for $20 at Target and Walmart all the time. And Wavebirds are $30.

At least both prices are better than launch prices. $35 used to be the price for the wired controllers, and Wavebird didn't exist.

Well, I won an official GC controller by Nintendo off ebay for $12 + $5 shipping... not bad.

Wavebirds are $$$... like $30-35 each... ugh.

Good thing you dont own an xbox. Their wired contollers go for 30 each. They dont have an official wireless and the logitech wireless is 70. Rediculous, none of their games even warrents that. :x
