Nearly 22 years after the Nintendo GameCube first launched, a brand-new wired controller releases soon, courtesy of Retro-Bit. The new LegacyGC wired controller by Retro-Bit will be a highly affordable and attractive option in 2023.
Retro-Bit’s Legacy GC wired controller is a Nintendo GameCube controller modeled after the SNES controller. The controller is natively compatible with GameCube and Wii consoles. Specifically, the wired controller is catered toward usage in Game Boy titles, retro games found on the GameCube, and Virtual Console titles on Wii. Additionally, the controller features a 10 ft/3 m cable and turbo functionality.
Although the controller maintains the signature B, A, X, and Y button layout, a standard d-pad is prominent. This d-pad replaces the GameCube controller’s analog and C sticks, but players have the option to set the input to either stick through macros. Further, L, ZL, R, and ZR buttons located where trigger and bumper buttons are normally found on many modern SNES controllers.
