Reviews around smash (4.53 of 5)

  • It works well with Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart 8 on the Wii
  • I got this game for Super Smash Bros. and it works great
  • Another disappointment is that Smash for Wii U maps out the controls differently from Melee/Brawl and you have to manually change the controller profile to get things behaving the way anyone would intend to use them
  • I have logged about 8 hours of aggressive Smash Brothers on the Mario and Peach versions of this controller
  • Although we don't have Super Smash Bros, we have a Wii and a Wii U and lots of Nintendo games that require the classic controller

Reviews around design (4.50 of 5)

  • As well as it matched the design, the controller size was a bit larger than the original controller
  • Beautiful design, feels a bit clunky and plasticy
  • My only gripe is how tiny the D
  • This controller is design is ideal for playing N64 Virtual console software, much better than the regular Wii classic controller
  • I always loved the Gamecube controller design so being able to use Gamecube controller for Wii U or even PC is great

Reviews around color (4.35 of 5)

  • Works great for Mario Kart and my daughters love the color.
  • Color, metallic sheen on back of controller is nice, pictures don't do it justice
  • The color and design of the controller itself are great, it just not durable.
  • It's a nice pink color though, too bad about the button.

Reviews around game (4.03 of 5)

  • I just wish there were more Wii games compatible with the classic controller.
  • They don't replace the GameCube controller for Smash Bros, but this is a good alternative, and it supports more Wii U games than the GameCube controller.
  • This controller works perfectly, with the ergonomic Gamecube arrangement of buttons making MANY Wii U games more comfortable to play!
  • I use a GameCube controller for almost every Wii game compatible with it and Smash as well as all my Gamecube games of course
  • It has lasted and as long as they aren't throwing them when they lose a game it will hold up.

Reviews around wii (3.95 of 5)

  • I can't play most of the wii games on just the silly wii controllers so this makes them easier for me to enjoy.anyone that doesn't understand this... you basically have a 2-3 foot cable coming out of this that plugs into your wii controller bottom
  • This controller is actually a Wii Classic Controller Pro in the shape of a Gamecube controller.
  • I just wish there were more Wii games compatible with the classic controller.
  • If the Wii Classic Controller symbol is not there, this controller will not work with the game
  • My fiancé and I hated the regular wii remotes because we both have carpotunnel and the repetitive motion hurts

Reviews around alternative (3.77 of 5)

  • Maybe I'm being picky, and I only gave one star off for it, but IMO you just should not have to depress a
  • For the price, it's a good cheap Classic Controller alternative, but if you have the money, I'd recommend getting the Hori one as it seems to fix these problems and has turbo.
  • A great alternative for those that missed out on the Gamecube Adapter.
  • If you couldn't get the Gamecube adapter this is a great alternative.
  • He bought two of these controllers (the Mario style for me and the Yoshi style for himself along with a Deluxe Set Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U) due to them being cheaper alternatives

Reviews around product (3.67 of 5)

  • To the people who already own a wiimote from the previous gen console Wii, and who would want to try it on their computer with amazingly improved graphics (with the right settings) on the dolphin emulator, and to those who want to play the gamecube games (on the dolphin emulator), wii games, AND the Wii U games with the feel of the gamecube controller (this product also works on Wii U b/c Wii U is backwards compatible with Wii) , I recommend this
  • The pricing of the Super Smash Bros. Edition GameCube Controller is expected to be $30 (pre-order price is $30 but who knows if market price is going to be more expensive or not) and requires a $20 adapter that hooks up to 4 controllers (http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-GameCube-Adapter-Wii-U/dp/B00L3LQ1FI/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_img_y) while the fightpad is priced at $25
  • Wii U. It looks cool but actually advertising this as Wii U product is a total lie
  • Fantastic for people who grew up with a GameCube and find the Wii U pad uncomfortable to hold
  • Got this for my son so he could play Smash bros on wii U and he has played the heck out of it with no problems

  • Perfect transition from the classic gamecube controller
  • I bought this on sale to use with the Wii U Smash Bros, and it is a pretty great controller for the cheap price.
  • The controller in design gives a good look that would sway a lot of classic gamecube players and some people who are looking for another type of controller to work on their Wii U (myself included.)

Reviews around stick (3.33 of 5)

  • You can't really pop an analog stick into place if its place holder is broken
  • If you're using mainly the buttons (far more common), the larger face makes you more likely to bump the C-Stick while you're trying to mash the B button, especially if you have large thumbs
  • The buttons are fantastic, the control pad is great for virtual console games, but the sticks are so awful they ruin everything else
  • The sticks are more like the stick on the Gamecube controller, with the Octogon shaped setting
  • The right stick is not a semi-nub like the Gamecube controller either; it's full size.

Reviews around quality (3.26 of 5)

  • I bought this on sale to use with the Wii U Smash Bros, and it is a pretty great controller for the cheap price.
  • PDP has a solid build quality, and the fact that it is essentially a Wii Pro Controller means you can enjoy a wide range of compatibility with other games and Virtual Console
  • works great good quality works on the Wii and on emulators
  • Fantastic for people who grew up with a GameCube and find the Wii U pad uncomfortable to hold
  • This is actually a pretty great Wii U classic controller/pro

Reviews around button (3.13 of 5)

  • Well, this PDP pad follows the NAMING convention of the WiiU/Classic Controller Pro - top "buttons" are L & R and the bottom "triggers" are ZL & ZR
  • I bought this on sale to use with the Wii U Smash Bros, and it is a pretty great controller for the cheap price.
  • Other than compatibility issues the controller is wonderful once the buttons are a bit broken in.
  • After continuing to use the controller, it's gotten so bad that I can only play for about 20 minutes at a time before the A button will stay depressed
  • The ZL/ZR buttons are too recessed so your finger will hit the gamepad shell before the button is fully depressed

Reviews around material (2.54 of 5)

  • Came with a free downloadable Prima e-guide for Luigi, so you may just want to Stop at local Game store, for that bonus.
  • The top material is hard, glossy plastic and bottom material is matte, hard plastic
  • However, the material feels like its just cheap coated plastic
  • The axises on the left stick are extremely unreliable, inputs were sometimes even reversed, the L and R triggers act like gamecube triggers but don't register anything until being pushed in all the way, the list of problems just goes on
  • Maybe I'm being picky, and I only gave one star off for it, but IMO you just should not have to depress a

Reviews around zl (1.95 of 5)

  • The buttons are responsive and the L and R buttons are nice and clicky
  • Originally, I had ordered this controller for use in playing Smash Bros 4 (as is the usual reason) and it worked great for the most part (the only button problem being that ZL and ZR were grab buttons rather than shield buttons, but a quick control scheme fix solved that), but I realized there seemed to be something "off" when I played with the controller
  • It feels like a normal gamecube controller and it works like a clssic controller pro\classic controller, this means that it have the ZL\ZR triggers and two bumps,for a total of 4 back buttons (L,R,ZL and ZR); it also have a Start\+ button, a Select\- button and a Home button, and it works great on platformes (like freedom planet) fighting games (smash bros u and brawl) and works great on homebrews
  • The ZL and ZR buttons which replace the L and R buttons also were a bit more "sunken" into the controller, which may have been what I found was off
  • The axises on the left stick are extremely unreliable, inputs were sometimes even reversed, the L and R triggers act like gamecube triggers but don't register anything until being pushed in all the way, the list of problems just goes on

Reviews around plastic (1.90 of 5)

  • To me the plastic feels "cheaper" but I have no way of quantifying that
  • It's a cheaper plastic third part controller that works just fine for the Wii U.
  • The axises on the left stick are extremely unreliable, inputs were sometimes even reversed, the L and R triggers act like gamecube triggers but don't register anything until being pushed in all the way, the list of problems just goes on
  • The plastic on the stick is VARY hard and hurts the fingers, so I'm giving up on that controller
  • The plastic feels a little cheap (especially the Z triggers), but altogether this controller is great

Reviews around match (1.69 of 5)

  • Works as it should.
  • I swapped it out with the right control stick to see if it was just that one piece which was defective and that stick broke a couple matches later.
  • Needless to say, I lost the match and the controller is a lot less fun and easy to play with
  • Maybe I'm being picky, and I only gave one star off for it, but IMO you just should not have to depress a
