The GameCube's controller remains a titan, which is why so many have “borrowed” from its design. But now things are afoot that signal Nintendo could be about to resurrect this gaming gem.
We recently told you why the Nintendo 64 controller was actually terrible, contrary to any flawed childhood memories you may have. Now let's take a look at why the GameCube controller is quite the opposite. In fact, it stands as one of the best joypads Nintendo has ever released, and a brilliant example of how much Nintendo could improve in just one console generation. Launched alongside the diminutive GameCube in 2001, the controller beautifully refined the inputs of the N64's.
While nowadays, the Nintendo Switch Pro controller has arguably supplanted the GameCube as the best controller for functionality—it's essentially the same layout as an Xbox controller, as close to a default as modern gaming has across formats, ensuring multi-format games play the same—Nintendo has never forgotten the popularity of the GameCube joypad. Although it's not re-released or updated the beloved pad itself it has officially licenced third-party companies to do so over the years.
