Great review, thanks for posting this! For a long time, I've wanted to get one of these eventually, but I had never looked at prices. Finally decided it was time to buy one yesterday, just to find them selling anywhere from $120-180 on Ebay. I was thinking like $30, so that was an instant "nope" haha. Anyway, I decided to see if anyone had reviewed it on KZitem, to see if maybe I wasn't missing out on anything special. After watching this, I'm ok with not having one. The main reason I wanted it was for the better d-pad placement, using the analog stick on a regular GC controller is so awkward, and the d-pad is basically unusable due to it's position. But, I never really thought about the ABXY button placement, which I'm really not a fan of for non-GC games. Thankfully, you mentioned the Raphnet adapters, which I had never hard of before! So, I'm just going to pick up an SNES to GC adapter, as that's one of my favorite controllers of all time. Just wanted to let you know your video helped me a lot!

Good to hear a critical view about this expensive controller. I wanted to find one for a while, but I instead ordered a raphnet SNES to Gamecube adapter and it’s great. With GBI I can remap the buttons and use B for A and Y for B, and that’s perfect for me.

Thanks, I do like the controller quite a bit overall but I try to be as honest and informative with my reviews as possible. And I'm glad you're enjoying your Raphnet adapter + GBI setup! GBI is amazing.

I got this controller not only for the GameBoy Player but also because this controller works perfectly for all of the Resident Evil games released on GameCube. It even works with RE4, although it's much better to just use the regular GameCube controller.

Honorable Mentions for regular GameCube games that can be fully played with the Hori GameBoy Player Controller are F-Zero GX and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. But this doesn't account for all of the Wii and Switch Games you can use this controller with if you have the Smash adapter.

Great video! Been a huge gamer for 25+ years, my NeoGeos are my bag, both the AES and my CDZ, absolutely love but recently, always love Nintendo, but yeah gone really Nintendo crazy of late, what with absolutely falling in love with the Switch launch night I wanted to go back and fire the big Ns previous console/games library up. In doing so all over again Ive totally rekindled my love for the Cube! Totally forgot how absolutely fantastic it really is and on top of that the GameBoyPlayer, has to be the best peripheral ever!? The Cubes game library (MK:DoubleDash, Zelda:TP, MarioSunShine, SuperMonkyBall1+2, Smash, Ikarugia! - WOW!) fantastic, add to that the entire GB, GBC, GBA library and you have a breath-taking amount of games at your disposal! Any way Im going way off track! lol and although I agree with a lot of previous comments (is it or is it not worth £80+?) I still really, really, really, want one! So, Im just gunna come out with it... any chance you would sell yours? ;) MJ (t+i@mattyjjenkins)

Does anyone know where any of these can be found? I like running older games competitively, and am very interested in purchasing these, however I'm not wiling to drop around $180 on one of these things, especially given that they're used and I've no idea the condition it would be in.

There's a seller from the UK selling this controller on ebay for about 115£. Obviously i'm not gonna pay that much at once for it, but apparently I can choose to pay 9£ per month for 12 months if I want to. I don't know, is that a good deal?

Sure! 1. You'd need to get an SD card adapter for the GameCube like the one sold on this site: www.codejunkies.com/Products/SD-Media-Launcher__EF000580V.aspx 2. Get a compatible SD card (I think most SD cards 2GB and under are compatible) 3. Make sure you have the Game Boy Player hardware (not the disc, but the attachment that goes on the bottom of the GameCube) 4. Download Game Boy Interface from the following link: www.gc-forever.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2782 5: Load it onto the SD card 6. Insert the SD card into the GameCube SD card adapter and insert the Action Replay software disc that comes with the SD adapter. 7. Load GBI and you're good to go! If you want to know more about the GBI, the download link in step 4 is pretty thorough. Let me know if you have any more questions!

I don't have experience with the Brook adapter, but with the standard adapter the setup is simple. You just plug the adapter into one of the Switch dock's USB ports and plug the GameCube controller into the adapter and the Switch recognizes the controller immediately.
