This is recent BattlerGC Pro Controller looks like it could be the ultimate GameCube gamepad – featuring drift-resistant Hall-effect joysticks, hybrid analog/digital triggers, programmable back buttons, a rechargeable battery with a USB-C port, and the ability to apply it on a variety of consoles and systems thanks to Bluetooth support . And of course, it’s the latest controller to support the best face button layout ever, and I’ll fight for it The ultimate goal I defend it!
However, I realize that the GameCube controller layout isn’t everyone’s favorite, so it’s no surprise that there aren’t many great, current GameCube controller options beyond that licensed PowerA product powered by AA batteries, which is my current way of playing on a docked Switch. Most fans have official GameCube controllers and apply Bluetooth adapters or converters to play Smash Bros. games for Nintendo consoles.
The BattlerGC Pro, however, is a completely upgraded GameCube controller that comes with a 2.4 GHz GameCube controller dongle for the mother console, Wii and Wii U (with a USB to GameCube adapter), but also has a switch on back to transform into a controller Bluetooth that works on PC or Nintendo Switch without a USB adapter.
Retro Fighters, the creator of the controller, did this as well BattlerGC non-Pro controller for $44.99 without back buttons and built-in Bluetooth module. (The set includes two dongles to work on different consoles). The Hall effect sticks that the Pro version has are also missing.
BattlerGC Pro pre-order will be available on May 1 at 9 a.m. PT (12 p.m. ET) and will cost $59.99. For those who prefer limpid housings to the classic indigo color, Retro Fighters has prepared a special, narrow edition of the crystal version of the controller – only 2,000 pieces will be available.
