Official Nintendo GameCube Wired Gaming Controller Silver Genuine Original

About this deal

This is a genuine original Nintendo GameCube controller in Platinum Silver (known officially as "Platinum"), the standard controller for the GameCube console, manufactured by Nintendo and launched in 2001. It introduced a conventional handlebar-style shape, a second analog stick (the C-stick), X and Y face buttons, and hybrid analog shoulder triggers. It features four face buttons, three shoulder buttons, a start button, a joystick, a C-stick, a D-pad, and rumble feedback. Being an official Nintendo original, this is the genuine article rather than a third-party imitation -- ideal for retro GameCube gaming or as a spare pad. GameCube controllers are natively backward-compatible with the original model of the Wii, which features dedicated ports for connecting the gamepad. With a compatible adapter, Nintendo also officially re-issued the controller and produced dedicated adapters coinciding with the releases of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch, honouring the enduring popularity of the GameCube controller in the Smash Bros. community. This listing is in refurbished condition.
