Everything about GameCube controller
Primary game controller for the GameCube
The GameCube controller is the standard game controller for the GameCube video game console, manufactured by Nintendo and released in late 2001 in Japan and North America and 2002 in Europe and Australia. As the successor to the Nintendo 64 controller, it is the progression of Nintendo's controller design in numerous ways. The M-shaped design of its predecessor was replaced with a more conventional handlebar style controller shape; a second analog stick was added, replacing the C buttons with a C stick and the X and Y face buttons, last seen on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System controller, were reintroduced; the shoulder buttons were changed to hybrid analog triggers. A wireless variant of the GameCube controller known as the WaveBird was released in 2002. Wikipedia →
