I highly recommend getting the Retro-Bit Tribute 64. Fortunately, there are a few third-party options on the market that work with Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack as well. With its constantly low stock and expensive price, many fans aren’t sure if the official N64 controller for Switch is worth it, even if it allows them to play classic games the way they were meant to be played. $46 at Amazon The affordable knock off alternative It comes in blue, green, red, or classic gray. It has a great wireless design and feels good in your hands while still giving you all the buttons you need. Just use a regular GC controller.This sweet N64 controller works explicitly with the original console, but you can get it to work with the Nintendo Switch if you purchase an adapter. It would cause stupid lag, and drain 4 batteries at once. It’s already wireless, so you’d be beaming a wireless signal to a Wii Remote, which would beam another wireless signal to the Wii. To those of you who keep asking about Wavebird support… Stop it. It accepts one GC controller, and plugs into a Wii Remote: Update: I found a better picture of it, confirming what I thought before. I ordered one and will receive it tomorrow, so I will leave an Amazon review bringing all this up when I get and verify all this.
AMAZON GAMECUBE USB ADAPTER PLUS
On the plus side, you can presumably navigate the Wii menu with this (CC controllers can control the cursor), and it’ll make playing games like Brawl tolerable (albeit it’s still wireless, so I’d be afraid of a bit of lag). Anything on the Wii U VC should work fine since you can set the buttons, and N64 games would probably be good to go, but NES and SNES games that require the select button would not work.
AMAZON GAMECUBE USB ADAPTER PRO
Many games support both Classic AND Pro controllers, so for those this will work fine, but other games like ZombiU and (90% sure) Injustice do not, so the Wii Remote this is attached to won’t even sync while playing those games.Īlso, the GC controller lacks a select button, a second shoulder button and a home button, so some games will not work properly. I don’t care what the description says other controllers have falsely made this claim before as well. Thus, I would have to surmise that it registers as a Classic Controller, and will NOT work in place of the Wii U Pro Controller. I just want to point out that the picture appears to indicate that it plugs into a Wii Remote as an accessory, NOT into a USB port. They falsely claim that it can act as a Pro Controller, as most games that require Pro Controllers don’t allow Wii Remotes to be synced, thus preventing this from being used.

The adapter plugs a GC controller into a Wii Remote, registering it as a Classic Controller, so it can function as one. It is standalone and has 2 extra buttons (the clickable analog sticks) and CANNOT be used in Wii games played on the Wii U. The Wii U Pro Controller is a new controller exclusively for the Wii U. It plugs into a Wii Remote and works with CC enabled games: The Classic Controller Pro is a remodeling of the Wii Classic Controller. No, they are confusingly named and entirely different. Read on for my original rant explaining to everyone else why this is impossible. You are exactly correct in saying that they are not the same, and thus the description is lying. I thought you said that they ARE the same thing.
