Grab A Wireless GameCube-Style Controller For Switch 1/2 & PC For Only $40

In: Gaming, News

If you’re interested in picking up a GameCube-style controller for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, or PC, you should check out Amazon’s deal on the NYXI Warrior Lite Wireless Controller. Normally $50, the highly customizable Warrior Lite is discounted to $40 for a limited time. The Warrior Lite has pro-style features such as remappable back buttons, trigger locks, Hall Effect sticks, microswitch buttons, and swappable components. NYXI designed the Warrior Lite to match the color scheme of the original purple GameCube controller.

If you have a GameCube or Wii console, the original Warrior Wireless Controller comes with a 2.4GHz Wireless receiver that plugs into the GC controller port; you can also use the receiver on PC with the included USB adapter. The NYXI Warrior is discounted to $58.39 (was $69) in purple, orange, and black. For a cheaper alternative, Amazon has PowerA’s officially licensed GameCube-style wired controller for less than $17.

And if you own the original Switch or Switch OLED, the NYXI Wizard and recently released Wizard 2 are worth checking out, as they can also replace your Joy-Con Controllers in handheld mode. The Wizard can also be used as a traditional Switch 1/2 wireless controller when both sides are connected to the included bridge. These do not work in handheld mode on Switch 2.

More GameCube Controllers for Nintendo Switch 1/2

From a customization perspective, the Warrior and Warrior Lite are the most impressive GameCube-style controllers we’ve tried, but there are other GameCube controllers for Switch and Switch 2 that offer a more authentic experience.

As mentioned, Nintendo’s wireless GameCube controller for Switch 2 is as close to the original as you’ll find. It feels almost exactly like the original, just without the cable and with a few extra small buttons on the top: C button for GameChat, home/menu buttons, and a small ZL button to make up for the fact the GameCube controller only had one shoulder button. But while this is best option for GameCube games on Switch Online, the aforementioned tiny ZL button makes it less than ideal for modern games.

Officially licensed GameCube-style controllers from PowerA and Hori add Nintendo-inspired designs and have modernized shoulder and trigger layouts. The form factor of these controllers is closer to the original GameCube controller, as they have slimmer profiles compared to the NYXI Warrior. If you want to go the officially licensed route, PowerA’s Wireless Controller themed around Toad from Super Mario Bros. is $64.39 (was $70). For a cheaper wireless alternative, Hori makes a Zelda-themed Battle Pad for $50.

If you don’t mind a wire, you can’t beat Amazon’s deal on the PowerA Wired Controller featuring Bowser’s logo.

PowerA Wired Controller (Bowser) — $16.79 (~~$28~~)
PowerA Wireless Controller (Toad) — $64.39 (~~$70~~)
Hori Wireless Battle Pad (Zelda) — $50
Official Nintendo GameCube Controller (Switch 2) — $70
Hori Wired Battle Pads
- Luigi (Translucent Green) — $29
- Mario (Translucent Red) — $29
- Princess Peach (Translucent Pink) — $28.71
- The Legend of Zelda (Black) — $33.60
- Pokemon: Pikachu (Yellow) — $42

GameCube Controller Adapters for Switch 1/2 and PC

If you want to use an actual GameCube controller–with the GC connector instead of USB–it’s possible on Switch and Switch 2 with the help of an adapter.

If you purchase a wired GameCube controller or have an old one in a drawer somewhere, you can use it on Switch and Switch 2 with the help of an adapter. You can buy a USB controller hub like the popular Mayflash or Clouddream models below. Both of these budget-friendly accessories has four ports. If you don’t want to sit close to the hub, you can plug your controller into 8BitDo’s Gbros. wireless adapter. You’ll still have a wire, but you won’t be tethered to a stationary object.

8BitDo Gbros. Wireless GC Controller Adapter — $25
Mayflash GC Controller Adapter (4 Ports) — $19
Clouddream: GC Controller Adapter (4 Ports) — $16 (~~$19~~)
