 Love the Gamecube Controller June 29, 2008
Nintendo did an awesome job designing the GameCube controller, I believe. The button placement, for me at least, is very natural, much more so than the Xbox controllers or the Dual Shock controllers. Of course, if you are looking at this you probably already own a GameCube, thus own a controller and have your own opinion.
This is the controller to buy though, you definitely want a Nintendo brand controller. Third party GameCube controllers, from companies other than Nintendo, tend to be lower quality and will not last nearly as long. It may cost a bit more for the Nintendo brand, but the quality is worth it.
Nice Controller!! June 26, 2008
This controller is excellent, it provides all the buttons and analog sticks (thank God). As other peoples reviews are saying, " I can't reach the Z button, the R and L are in a awkward position." Well, hold the controller right for goodnes sake. Now take my steps on how to hold a controller:
1. Hold your hands out
2. Turn them so the pointer fingers are pointing at each other.
3. Seperate the Thumb and Pointer finger from the three others. (Still using step 2)
4. Curve the three left-out fingers.
5. Put one thumb on the Analog Stick and the other on the A Button.
6. The other pointer fingers should be on the R and L Buttons with a closer click on the Z Button.
Hope it helped!
 It acts all crazy after you use it a long time! June 14, 2008

I got my GameCube and this Controller, when I was 4. After 6 years of playing Video Games, the Controller acted all funny and stuff. It was acting weird, like the analog stick I wasn't moving but my character on the screen was walking into wall and boxes, without me moving the stick. I turned off the system and read the Instructions. I did what the Insrtuctions told me to do and everything was fine. Then it happened again in about the first 10 mins., I was playing. It was strange because it was working fine the day before that. So the Controller has like 4-7 years, when it starts acting strange.
Best Controller for Gamecube, Best Also for the Wii May 23, 2008
I have used other 3rd party controllers and nothing can get close to original Nintendo controller. For the Wii, the classic controller is a bit awkward and hard to use.
Pros:
- Perfect handgrip
- Perfect response (Wavebird and and other wireless can not compete with a wired one)
Cons:
- Wired
- Expensive, as Nintendo has almost abandoned the Gamecube console for Wii
AS CONTROLLERS GO, A GOOD ONE! April 19, 2008
I recently purchased two more of these controllers so I could play with my grandson and there would always be
an extra. Actually, since we also own a Wii I find that these controllers are easier for me to use than the Wii remotes are. I have never had any problems with mine although there are times I wish it were a little longer.
