Hyperkin's ProCube Controller is Heading to GameStop in North America

So wait, these can also be used on all games the pro controller will work with? I thought it ONLY worked for smash? If that's true for 30$ I'll pick one up as it's good to have extra controllers laying around for a family of 5.

@Spoony_Tech It is in fact a pro controller. In Smash you can use the original GameCube controllers.

@Spoony_Tech Yeah, I read a few reviews and it's essentially just a Wii U pro controller — so I'm assuming it'll work with games that support the Wii U pro. However, the common complaint that I've seen from reviewers who received them early is that the analog sticks have a few dead zones. I am unsure if Hyperkin addressed this issue, so I'd say just keep that in mind.

I really need one of these. The GC controller is one of my favorite controllers of all time, and I'd certainly take a Pro Controller that looks like a GC controller and play far more games than just Smash U.

i really want to get one of these! hopefully next month if not April

Great I could use this for Smash and Minecraft!

@kurus37 @Chandlero Thanks for the response. They're far cheaper then the regular pro contollers so I'll definitely get one then. We sometimes play 3 players and ones always stuck with a Wii remote and nunchuck.

Are there really two buttons with the exact same action, "+" and "START/PAUSE"?

I hope these come to Amazon. I'd like to to buy them while making use of my Prime free shipping .

@kurus37
Exactly.

I was about to order one this morning actually, until I read about the dead zone complaints

I have pretty much all available Nintendo controllers since Gamecube. This may just be me, but the Pro Controller is the most comfortable gaming pad I own. That being said, glad to see this for those that can't get enough GC cont.

@TheRegginator Only competitive Smashers care about that dude.

@TheRegginator Wireless input lag doesn't really matter much in Smash 4. It is hardly noticeable unlike most other fighting games and Smash 4 isn't even close to being as technical as Melee and Project M when playing on a CRT with Gamecube wired controllers actually can matter in a match; even then the only thing that really matters is rather or not you're playing on a CRT in the first place. The controller itself, at least from what I heard, doesn't have much input lag anyway.

........I don't care.

I want an n64 smash controller.

While I already have things to play Smash with, this is gonna be a lifesaver for Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD.

I got mine about 2 weeks ago. I must say, it is a wonderful controller.

I can say as an early owner of this controller the buttons are sound and everything feels great. Unfortunately I too had dead zone issues on the left analogue, but this was quickly addressed when I emailed Hyperkin support and I'm waiting on my replacement now.

@kurus37
maybe the dead zone exists with the games and not necessarily the controller. Like Resident Evil Revelations on the Wii U has a small deadzone right in the center, regardless of the controller. And it's not the only game either.

@Broosh Would be great to hear you update on whether or not a replacement fixes the issues.

@TheRegginator @Chaoz Players themselves don't care too much for wireless controllers either way, but TOs are a little ocd about them since a rouge wireless controller still linked to a not currently being used by the player setup can cause issues if it hasn't been properly de-synched to the point most tournies ban them to avoid the issue. I personally never cared either way, but there are some in the community who do.

@Spoony_Tech The Game controller only works with smash.

This is just a pro-controller that looks like a GameCube controller.

@Light-Of-Hope nice comment 11/10

The GC is my favourite controller ever, although I bet if this comes to the UK the exchange rate will be 1:1 as usual.

@Sir420 it doesn't have a nice look but the pad is amazing to use, I was wary of the "thumbs over buttons" layout but in R stick heavy games it works amazingly.

There's no controller that matches the GCN. I've always said all it is missing is an extra trigger button and clickable analogue sticks.

I've played with Sony's dual shock and Microsofts pads for years, including the new elite controller but nothing comes close to the ergonomics, layout and design of Nintendo's GCN classic.

The only reason it isn't recognised by mainstream is because it's designed by Nintendo and as the GCN had a small install base not enough people are shouting it's corner.

It is always a case of 'fanboyism' for anyone to deny this fact. The same has happened to the N64 only 1/3 of the PS1'S install base but the PS1's massive ownership means that you get nothing but disinformation everywhere and complete ignorance to the fact.

@liveswired I liked the N64 controller because when I was little, I would hold it upside down and pretend it was a space ship type thing. my actions figures could even sit on it, using the Z trigger as a cushion. Ninja turtles fit on it perfectly because of how their legs were

If the Pro Controller is compatable with the NX, I'm sold. I just don't want to get this, enjoy it for three months, and then to get more controllers for the NX.

Its amazing that it works with everything.

I like my wiimote+Hori GC Pad cambr, although this would work with WWHD

I wish Hori would make an equivalent to this. Better yet I wish Nintendo would readopt this face button configuration for all its controllers going forward. They could use a more subdued color choice so looks less garish. I finally ordered a Mario colored Hori Battle Pad from Amazon and am waiting on them to arrive. I may finally system transfer my Virtual Console games. The GCN controller was perfect for most N64 games. I was going to get the Luigi version but couldn't justify the extra couple bucks. I wish they were sold at GS. The PDP GC controllers were always junk and I'd love to see a superior product get more exposure and sales. The gold Link model is currently available for $25 on store.Nintendo.com for those interested.

Beautiful

@AVahne sorry for the delay, Yes! replacement works really well.

@Broosh
Great to hear. I'll wait a bit longer before ordering one, just as a precaution. Hopefully I'll get a non-broken one.

Cool. Apparently Gamestop may start carrying them? That would be interesting but ease of access I suppose.
