Fully analog pressure-sensitive action buttons & D-Pad. Vibration feedback Compatible with Wii and GameCube Wii support limited to GameCube games Review: Buy authentic - accept no substitutes, you won't regret it - I'm not going to go over the pros and cons of the controller itself, since if you're reading this, you're in the market for old hardware anyway and you know what you're looking for. Instead I want to write about an important point: when shopping for standard GameCube controllers, there is a big difference in quality between the official ones manufactured by Nintendo, and generics/store brands like the ones GameStop makes. I have owned several controllers over the years; three were official Nintendo controllers, and the rest (8+) were from GameStop or other generics. I'll readily admit that I'm harder on my controllers than most gamers, but consider this: Those three Nintendo controllers all work just fine, even to this day, and they are over a decade old. The most worn down one has some of the paint rubbed off, and the pad on the D-stick is worn down, but otherwise it works perfectly. And those generic controllers? Every single one of them is broken. Parts would break off, the buttons would be unresponsive, the wiring would be faulty, and so on. I think the lesson is pretty clear. Generic controllers may be cheaper, but official Nintendo ones (even if they're previously used) are a far better buy. Stick with the original; you won't regret it. Review: Worked well for me - I bought three of these pads, all seem to work perfectly, have played Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Kolona, Sonic Colors, some NFS games, and alot of gamecube games with them and these pads work just right, they are lighter than the Nintendo pads, but provide same functionality, theres no click between half-held and fully pressed on the L and R buttons, but they are actually very smooth buttons (feel almost like xbox 360 triggers)but other than that, they are almost exactly like the originals, and yes, they work with any wii game that supports gamecube pads, so it is fully compatible with gamecube and wii (atleast in my experience). They are also pretty durable from what ive noticed, my lil bro is rough with gamepads.. even tosses them.. and these still work if character moves continuously in a direction (happened to me once) unplug controller, and plug back in without moving the joysticks that is pretty mcuh only prob i had with mine the entire time I owned them, and it was because my bro was playing with it while I was plugging it in. ## Features - This listing is for one brand new, sealed controller just like the one pictured. - This is a GameCube controller that will also work on Nintendo Wii model RVL-001. - Type: Gamepad; - Connectivity: Wired - Platform: Nintendo GameCube ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00006N5T8 | | Additional Features | Ergonomic, Rumble | | Best Sellers Rank | #58,768 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #327 in GameCube Accessories | | Brand Name | Nintendo | | Compatible Devices | Windows | | Controller Type | Gamepad | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (238) | | Hardware Platform | gamecube | | Item Dimensions | 5.6 x 2.6 x 3.7 inches | | Item Weight | 10.4 ounces | | Manufacturer | Old Skool | | Package Quantity | 1 | | UPC | 798762692389 723061242447 790405073913 718760022414 744830830801 790405075993 490430855057 744830831273 828706803073 045496950279 | ## Images ![GameCube Controller Platinum - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wbSyCk-oL.jpg) ![GameCube Controller Platinum - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51PjcxERdRL.jpg) ![GameCube Controller Platinum - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51P7AROryPL.jpg) ![GameCube Controller Platinum - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JFrWhdsRL.jpg) ![GameCube Controller Platinum - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aMmna3mUL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this wireless** A: No, the wire will be included in the package **Q: does this controller last long** A: Sorry but that controller did not last long, about 60 days **Q: Does this controller use tri wing screws or Phillips?** A: Not sure what you mean, but don't buy this controller. It's not even official, and will break on you very quickly. I regret buying mine, but I needed a controller. I would return it, but it way past the return date. So I just have another useless controller to go with the gamestop brand controller, which I don't recommend either. Just buy the controller that's promoted with smash bros, because it's Nintendo official and not a rip off. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy authentic - accept no substitutes, you won't regret it *by A***G on December 30, 2012* I'm not going to go over the pros and cons of the controller itself, since if you're reading this, you're in the market for old hardware anyway and you know what you're looking for.

I bought the first one and was excited that it worked so well with my Wii I bought another and some extension wires. My only complaint is that the wires are 5 1/2 ft. long, which is why I also recommend the extension cables so you're not so close to the TV. Also I bought the first one from a different seller than the second and one came with a white cord, one with black. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/9151971-gamecube-controller-platinum](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/9151971-gamecube-controller-platinum) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
