How Close Is The New 2018 Gamecube Controller To The Original?

Once again Nintendo has released a new Gamecube Controller for fans to pick up on the way to the release of Smash Bros Ultimate on Nintendo Switch. These controllers are a bit different from the 2014 Gamecube controller with a different logo, but how different are they internally from the original controller?

The fact that I can get a 100% legit, first-party, factory fresh Gamecube controller in 2018 for $30 is a miracle.

*Says he's a casual Gamecube gamer* .... *Within first 5 mins proceeds to tell us model numbers, years of release, what each controller is made of, and even weighs the two controllers down to the exact ounces* rofl.

Whenever my original controllers would drift, all I had to do was unplug and plug the controller back in without touching the sticks. That would always reset the zero point for the sticks.

[alejandrowolfn]

The drifting happened also with the older controllers, is just that you moved the stick while pluging it in. When you plug the controller it "zero" the axis. If its slightly off, it will drift, just unplug it and plug it again

The weight difference comes from the dirt inside the 2002 model 😂

Hey just wanted to point out that there are actually 2 differences between these and the original Gamecube controllers. If you take apart the triggers, you will see metal brackets in the old controllers that are not present in the new ones. Supposedly these help guide the triggers and keep them from getting jammed. Also, the button membranes on the new controllers are a bit stiffer and less mushy than the old ones. This is not from wear, it's actually a slightly different design and can be seen pretty easily. Both of these parts can be swapped out with ones from an old controller with no problem. Anyway, it would be pretty hard to catch these unless you knew about them beforehand. Love your videos!

I wish they added a ZL on the 2018 version so you can use it for switch games

Where's my game cube virtual console, Nintendo???

[SEFullmetalJake]

It’s almost as if they had the blueprints/mould already..as if they’d made it before years previously...

[notturok]

think maybe they just had warehouses full of these, and finally have the ability to sell them again

[lameashecc]

So you can use the 2018 controllers on an original gamecube/wii?

[Seekeroftruth]

30 dollars, where? they're 80-90 bucks in amazon and retail stores

[aychfriday]

I’m still confused why Nintendo never decided to make the GameCube controller their _”pro controller”_

[DoctorMinjinx]

So glad to see Gamecube controllers still alive in 2018. They're a bit too out of date for Switch games but perfect for...Well GameCube games. I just wish they sold them in the GameCube controller color brand besides black. You know, indigo, platinum, spice and maybe even that illusive emerald one. Not a big deal though, I can just use the shells from the old ones I have that may be breaking or broken.

Uh oh there are only 2 reasons why i can think he has a scale like that....

[timdrake]

IF you have drifting or need to recenter your joystick Hold X, Y and Start for 3 seconds to stop your cursor from drifting.

[mrbrocephus]

I’m glad I still have my OG controllers for the Gamecube. I’m looking forward to smash bros.

[skizzlers]

It makes me so happy that the gamecube controller is avalible for the switch so many years later ❤💛💚💙💜

Digital scale? Spawnwave confirmed for cocaine dealer
