Video game accessory maker PDP is back with another couple of glorious looking GameCube pads designed for use with your Nintendo Switch.
Just like previous releases, these two controllers feature the GameCube's traditional C-stick, giving buyers the option to swap it out for a normal, full-size stick instead if they prefer. They plug into your Switch dock via a 10-foot USB cable (so no controller adapter required) and could be an ideal option for those wanting to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a GameCube controller setup.
These two designs are both launching today via GameStop and PDP's own website (although they appear to be sold out here already). They're also available to pre-order from Amazon for $24.99 each with worldwide shipping (for some reason, Amazon appears to be stocking them slightly later, expected to ship in May). You can get the Luigi one here, and the Peach one here.
If you missed them last time, PDP has also released other variants of these controllers featuring Mario, Zelda, and Pokémon.

A Daisy one would be nice. I would get that.
I'm getting that pretty pink one! OUTTA MY WAY!
I got a yellow Pokémon GameCube USB controller for Switch from Nintendo UK. Happy with it. Just wondering what its extra central button is that it has but these PDP models don't have. The button shows two arrows (solid black triangles) pointing downwards at a button symbol. What is it?!
Maybe that extra button on my Pokémon controller is a turbo button? What games do you use that and how do you use that?
I would buy them if they were SNES30 style Pro Controllers. Like I say before, I'm not a fan of GameCube controllers but do like the Mario theme so much.
I just got the Zelda one yesterday. My friends think I’m a bit odd for loving the GameCube controller so much.
The pink one is lovely
No Waluigi pad ? No buy.
Very deluxe indeed!
Do these jive reasonably well with Windows?
Whether or not you like the build quality of PDP. They sure do know how to knock it out of the park, when it comes to looks. I'm tempted to get these purely for display purposes.
I picked up the Peach Controller last Friday. I love it! I wish the PDP controllers had bigger D-pads like the competition but they still feel the most premium. PDP definitely learned their lesson from the Wii U fight pad days.
Wrong. PDP did not launch Luigi and Peach GameCube controllers, because these controllers are not compatible with GameCubes. Hire a copyeditor!
These are really cool. I have a couple of the older versions PDP released for Wii U that are Yoshi themed. I loved the controller so much, it replaced my Wii Classic Controller Pro when playing Wii and Wii U games. I like the Peach design.
