"Have they changed the controller?"

Sorry if you have been asked before, but has the controller been changed? I have noticed these changes.

1) The start button used to be a small grey plastic button. It is now slightly bigger and smoother and is red not grey.

2) The 'A' button used to be green. It is now blue.

3) The 'B' button was a tiny red circle before. It is now a green 'jelly bean' shape.

4) The font of the letters on the buttons are now itallic.

5) The wire is now a kinda silver colour, rather than black.

6) The controller arms are slightly shorter.


Well, I expect you all know about this already, or do you? Could you clear this up? Cheers :)

Practically everywhere.

Are they official? If they are then I think we need to get some photos and email Nintendo

Yeah, The Gamecube controller is great. They really spent alot of time on it

Some people knicked those controllers from game shows though. One got sold on eBay, I think. Plus I think that the changes were for the better. Especially the changing of the B button. If they hadn't done that It would have been the same as X and Y, which might cause problems when looking at the screen.

That description matches the one of the prototype gc controller before the buttens and shap had been decided,where did you get/see this controller?

The Wavebird is the newest one really. Some 3rd part developers use the old jely bean shape for B still!
