"Review of the Gamecube controller"

I've got no idea how it plays, so don't ask. I'm reviewing it as a standalone product. I have a black official controller, for reference.

Well, I suppose you could first pick it up, and hold it for a while. I'll try that now and give a review.

Fantastic. It's extremely comfortable, and I can drum the L and R buttons to music.

Next, I'm going to review it's smell.

Oddly, it smells like a hint plastic. Nintendo have obviously crafted special effort into making the controller as odour free as possible.

I shall now try to skip with the controller.

Skipping with the controller is good fun. There's just enough length for me to skip just about properly, having to duck to bring the controller back over. My monkey like arms make it good to skip with.

The end bit that you plug into the Gamecube is really small and shiny. I don't have much to say about that bit.

If you turn the controller at an angle, upside down from behind, it kinda looks like a cat. With two big grey teeth. And a blue one.

There are four screws on it.

The buttons make me feel like a man when I press them. This is good. The X-Box's controller still upsets me with the really poncy buttons.

I think the D-Pad is cool. It looks really small, but I find it pretty easy to use, and I have pretty big hands.

All in all, it's probably best to have a Gamecube, before buying a controller.

Lol.

Yeah, your face does does. (Rhetorical question)

;0)

it looks like a mangled PS2 controller

if you get a really small flat head screwdriver you angle it just right , and undo those weird screws , i did it and inside it's just like any controller , but either side of the rumble motor are these 2 sliding switch thingies , i tried moving them but thought i might mess it up so i changed them back. I think they change the sensitivity of the controller, or something , or how strong the rumble is , ????????

Tis a shame about the Z button, I actually thought it was the best feature of the N64s controller.
Damn nice controller anyway, how did you get the controller before the GC? i'm guessing you got it imported...

Anyway, you enjoying it? :D

It's used for spinning your craft in Rogue Leader...

Well, if we MUST talk about the Z button...

It's more like a select button, really. A toggle. For like switching the gui on and off, or looking at a map.

I dunno the Z button seemed a bit pointless and hard to get too.
I used it about once in Rogue Leader...

Still the pad rules.
