Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - GameCube Controller for Nintendo Switch

Product Information

When emulated through the use of a computer, standard computer keyboards have been used when playing Smash on an emulator, such as Project64k or Dolphin. While having flaws of its own compared to official controllers, computer keyboards offer some interesting benefits for playing Smash. In tournaments, especially large ones, the wireless nature of the Pro Controller can be problematic, both for the users and the people around them. Tournaments typically have large amounts of wireless interference, which makes using the Pro Controller wirelessly potentially unreliable. In addition, wireless Pro Controllers can still send inputs to the console they are synced with even when the controller is far away if not manually disconnected, which often results in unwanted inputs being sent to consoles by accident. This has become less of an issue over time, as the Switch operating system has added the ability to disconnect all wireless controllers from the console in the system settings and because Smash Ultimate was patched to let any player disconnect a controller, even other people's controllers.

The B0XX is an ergonomic alternative to the Nintendo Gamecube controller intended to service the competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee community. Designed by Melee professionals, the B0XX allows players to compete on a level playing field while preserving their hand health.The GameCube controller is supported on Nintendo Switch consoles running system version 5.0.0. or higher. Due to global chip shortages, current Smash Boxes do not include GameCube adapters and do not have Gamepad Mode (ie, native PC plug-and-play). This was the first controller to be used in Super Smash Bros. and is one of two official controllers along with the Japan-only release, the Hori Mini Pad; or Hori for short. Compatible with the Nintendo 64, these two controllers see the most use in tournaments in Smash 64 with the original controller being more common. This is partially due to preference and also since Horis tend to be expensive as they need to be imported. Many players however also use a variety of other types of controllers such as GameCube, Xbox, and even keyboard. The scene is in general open to any alternative as long as the controller has no macros and only as many buttons bound as a Hori. Within tournaments, controllers are rarely provided to players, and players are expected to bring their own controller; as such, the phrase BYOC is commonly found in tournament rulesets, an acronym for " Bring Your Own Controller". Players are responsible for their own controllers, as tournaments typically will not replace them or compensate players who lose them. Players with wireless controllers are also responsible for any issues that may arise from them, including issues with battery life or interference, and tournament organizers are not obligated to assist players of these controllers should issues end up influencing a match. Some tournaments are known to provide emergency replacement controllers in case a player experiences a catastrophic error with their controller, but these are few and far between. If a player is unable to use their controller for any reason and are unable to acquire a replacement in a timely manner, they are deemed unfit to play and are considered forfeit. As controllers are required to play the game, they are also required to use during a tournament. First-party and third-party controllers officially licensed by Nintendo are typically allowed, as they are often high quality and have the same build for an equal and fair experience. Unofficial third-party controllers and modded controllers are usually allowed, but those which include elements that provide an unfair advantage are banned in most tournaments. Bannable offenses include, but are not limited to, the following:

Wireless controllers generally have their own set of rules when it comes to tournaments. Wireless controllers were historically required to have their batteries removed whenever the owner is not playing a match, as they can interfere with other controllers that are trying to sync to consoles, where port priority can be important. Players who do not comply with this may be disqualified. Owing to the issues with wireless controllers, particularly large tournaments may have a total blanket ban on all wireless controllers; in addition to the interference issues, some TOs may simply not want to waste time waiting for players to sync wireless controllers to consoles. Ultimate tournaments typically do not have any restrictions on the use of wireless controllers owing to the popularity of the official Pro Controller.Controller vibration is only available for the GameCube controller in supported software, for example Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Smash Controller was available on My Nintendo as a Gold Reward until November 16th, 2017 for 10 Gold Points and then later returned as a Platinum Reward for 80 Platinum Points, redeemable for up to 5 times, until November 1st, 2018.

To enhance the customization aspect, PDP offers this exciting GameCube controller in multiple colors, allowing you to choose between skin options like Jigglypuff, Sonic, Mario, Luigi, Pikachu, Princess Peach, and a whole lot more.

A number of even cheaper options are also available, as adapters that plug directly into the Wii Remote instead of the console, though most of these adapters cause the game to read the GameCube Controllers as Classic Controllers instead. A later hardware revision of the console, the New Nintendo 3DS, added a small, secondary analog nub to the console on its right side, to the upper-left of the face buttons, as well as two new shoulder buttons; while such functionality is available for the standard 3DS via the Circle Pad Pro accessory, Super Smash Bros. 4 cannot support the accessory due to technical limitations involving how the Nintendo 3DS runs Smash 4. The New Nintendo 3DS also comes with built-in compatibility Near Field Communication, allowing for players to use amiibo with the console without any other accessories. It is a given that the 3DS is used as a controller in 3DS tournaments. However, within Wii U tournaments, the use of the Nintendo 3DS as a controller is often banned, due to logistics and time issues involved with having to constantly sync and re-sync them to the Wii U. Even when they are allowed, the 3DS is notorious for its input lag when linked to a Wii U for gameplay. However, on its own, it has surprisingly little input lag with for Nintendo 3DS, experiencing lows of 51.66ms (3.1 frames) and highs of 74.16ms (4.3 frames), being a frame faster than how the Wii U handles a GameCube controller for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U [2]. However, Smash Boxes do work on PC through compatible adapters. Use our guide for more information: Smash Box on PC. To use this controller with Nintendo Switch, the GameCube Controller Adapter is required and is sold separately.

In July 2017, a committee of five prominent Melee tournament organizers, including Zalewski, released a recommended ruleset for professional Melee competitions. This document includes a lengthy section imposing a "tentative ban" on the use of non-GameCube controllers such as the Smash Box controller, stating that the classic controller is "somewhat intrinsic to what we consider 'playing Melee' and the skills involved in doing so." Alex Jebailey tweeted his support for this decision and stated in an interview that alternative controllers "should rightfully be scrutinized and tested at a local level before being allowed to used in a major scale event."
