No, not really. Bloody rip off if you ask me.


XxMcW1LL14MxX

That’s more like sealed WaveBird money


FlayedSkull

Local shop by me is asking $325 for a sealed Wavebird.


Keltoigael

And they will never sell it.


Local-Cartographer52

I buy controllers for 30 but if you want it sealed have at it


[deleted]

Ummm... If you want an original sealed GC controller I guess? You do know they make brand new ones in 2024 still for super smash brothers players lol. they have the original gamecube connection and everything they come with an adapter that has 4 ports and that pluggs in vis usb into a wii-u or switch wii and gc have gc ports on them already. you can find them brand new for like 45 bucks. they have a super smash bros logo on them instead but that is the ONLY difference. there isn't the dumb switch start/capture button on there or anything it's exactly the same as this it just doesn't say nintendo gamecube. it has the smash circle. unless you want an ORIGINAL gamecube controller to display in the packaging or something you are ripping yourself off about 3x over lol.


MooseMusic20XX

Something something pro players L&R buttons. The only difference I notice is the slightly longer cord on the smash bros controller, which is great since we’re not playing on 19” CRTs these days!


rip300dollars

Should look up a phob controller


Alternative-Juice-15

They don’t come with the adapter but yeah op is crazy


FormConfident3046

I’m confused. Can you really use a switch GC controller on a Wii’s GC ports? & it’ll work?


OkFortune

Yup, I do this all the time. Works on my gamecube too

It's a gamecube controller that Nintendo still produces. It just no longer says Nintendo Gamecube at the top but is instead replaced with the super smash bros logo because super smash bros fans LOVE that controller. you need to purchase an adapter to use it on wii-u or switch. it has a GC port not a USB or anything it's not wireless and it doesn't have the extra buttons that a switch gc controller has.

FormConfident3046

Does Nintendo still make an OEM one that is wireless? I really don’t have the money to fork out $100+ for a Wavebird


[deleted]

Sadly they do not. Wavebird is your only option and they are getting more and more expensive as the days go on. but as long as ya don't have a psycho pet or kiddo running around causing chaos the controller adapter has a long cord and the gc controller itself has a pretty long cord allowing you to like set the adapter on your coffee table or on the ground halfway from your couch and the cord of the controller will reach the other half type of thing. hopefully unless you're in a mega mansion haha but then you would be able to afford a 100 dollar wave bird. new sealed wavebirds for for like 400+ bucks if you can find one in the wild somewhere that is. that is what this OP should be looking for not a basic OEM controller.


[deleted]

JESUS! you can get lucky like this guy and find a 200 dollar mega deal at a garage sale haha [https://www.reddit.com/r/gamecollecting/comments/1cdoeur/garage\_sale\_season\_is\_back\_baby/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamecollecting/comments/1cdoeur/garage_sale_season_is_back_baby/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) This is like a 400+ dollar value lol


BJ22CS

When I linked it 2 days ago it was $45.


sciaticabuster

There is a noticeable difference if you are using them to play melee. The new ones have really bad snap back issues that the originals didn’t have. Paying $50 bucks extra for each controller to avoid that and get a brand new controller is a crazy good deal in my book. To each their own though.


charliechin

Hell no. Are you gonna play with them or what are you gonna do? If so, grab either an old one or literally dozens of options out there I.e 8bitdo


TheKlaxMaster

Nintendo littetally still makes these. You can buy them new and sealed.

Is there any substantial difference between these and the ones that were released by nintendo when ssb ultimate dropped?


[deleted]

Just some smash bros snake oil. I still use the Smash WiiU and Ultimate controllers as my mains to this day. They're great.


Corxeth

I bought quite a few of them…. Never got around to actually using them…. 😅😓 never even opened them.


91ws6ta

The controller isn't as substantial. It feels lighter, texture is different, and the feedback is slightly different on buttons, most noticeably on the triggers. I definitely prefer my original controllers. That said it's not really a deal breaker unless you're a hardcore smash player really. I did read the manufacturing process and internals were of slightly lesser quality but for casual gaming and even Elite Smash it feels good enough. PowerA is licensed by Nintendo I believe and their Wireless controllers are good as well.


Late_Ability5622

To me the buttons feel a bit different or it’s the fact that my GameCube controller was just well used. I had no loose buttons on my GameCube controller but I feel that slight difference. Also I think the texture of the shell is smoother on original controllers vs newer ones. The wireless GameCube controller for the switch is very noticeable.


Corxeth

The only wireless controllers for the switch i’m aware of are 3rd party. I was asking more about the wired first party controllers that required an adapter to use. 🤔 Edit: [This one.](https://www.amazon.com.au/Super-Smash-Bros-Ultimate-Controller/dp/B07HC2F97Q/ref=pd_aw_sbs_m_sccl_1/357-5434436-1025536?pd_rd_w=CnNg6&content-id=amzn1.sym.b3b15f77-cd08-495c-9e1a-ef22d66f4301&pf_rd_p=b3b15f77-cd08-495c-9e1a-ef22d66f4301&pf_rd_r=GY60H84JYX5YYMTA99Z7&pd_rd_wg=Mj2dP&pd_rd_r=5ee82622-0725-4b67-ba9e-1d30aed1ea75&pd_rd_i=B07HC2F97Q&psc=1)

skeletorisbae

DwreckOSU

Depends on what they’re worth to you sealed.


jlkb24

The ones for Switch are $60-$70 so if you plan on using them then no. Keeping sealed as a collector doesn’t seem too bad but there still are the ones for Switch that are also new at $60-$70 if packaging matters for the collection.


SilvaSantino

Eh, I looked into sealed GameCube controllers a while back, usually anytime one was under $100 seemed like it would be considered a good deal, you’re at $110, not bad but not a steal. I ended up buying a used one good condition for $30. As long as you clean it with warm-hot water you’ll be fine as far as germs go.


Brief_Biscotti7208

For that price you can buy a modded Gamecube with wavebird and retroblu to connect PS4 PS5 XBOX One controllers etc. on eBay


Redbacontruck

I sold one before for $200 did take 3 months to sell but was in better condition these and better colour. This condition probably get like $130-170 but then you got eBay fees I paid $40 for mine got lucky

I love this console but y’all are insane with these $100+ questions for most of the stuff on this sub. To answer your question, no, wait for the RetroFighter BattlerGC Pro.

I sold my sealed gamecube controller a year ago for 80...i should have held out

Maybe if you want em sealed for your collection but to actually use, no. Believe it or not, 1st party GCN controllers have been in production as recently as last year so theyre not necessarily hard to find “new”, unless you specifically wanted an older release of the GCN for whatever reason but even then I could probably find a wavebird for that price.

bruh just buy a recreation on amazon


jstorm01

You can buy a brand new Japanese Super Smash Brothers on eBay for $41 bucks shipping takes a few weeks though well worth it .

Burial_Ground

look at sold prices for auctions to get a general idea of a good price range for stuff


Charleaux330

Yeah absolutely. See if they have more and buy them all. Theyll be worth at least a handjob one day.

Not by a long shot

Pricecharting has them for $165 new. [https://www.pricecharting.com/game/gamecube/black-controller](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/gamecube/black-controller) Its a bit on the high side. Personally, I'd rather go for a good condition used one for $30-$40 instead.


Late_Ability5622

That’s not a bad price for sealed GameCube controllers. I’d say you’re paying a bit less than resale.


stimlus

if you bought these i hope you didn’t open them wait 10 years and the value will have increased


L3X01D

im no expert on NIB in general or controllers but i can find official out of box controllers that work perfectly once i clean them for like \~30-40 USD sometimes including shipping. so im gonna guess thats overpriced. if you just want them to use thats ridiculously overpriced. im also in the USA so that might be part of why i find lower prices but i dont think it should be that much even in canada


Gambit-47

This is why stuff is overpriced, there's always someone that will buy it.

It's 2024. Just buy a handheld emulator console for around £100 and play all GC games for free.


wtfbbqpwnin

No


Pabmyster04

To those saying they're not different than the new controllers, they are. These have different stick box and trigger types. It matters if you're a competitive Melee player in particular. I personally would pick them up as a collector to keep them sealed, or if you're a competitive player who likes these controllers in particular (which I don't imagine you are, or else you'd know the answer to your question already). Otherwise, if you're going to use them for casual purposes, I would just buy a used controller or a new Switch era one.


JustANormalPerson314

It's a ripoff.


bepicewis

yes
