PowerA GameCube Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch review - Not for everyone - Android

The PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch isn't as good as the original but it will do in a pinch.

Positives

Easy setup
Faithful shape and style
Plenty of colors and designs
Full motion controls

Negatives

Feels cheap
No analog triggers
Runs on AA batteries
Missing a ton of features/integrations
Doesn't work well with Android/Windows
Too expensive for what it is

Bottom Line

The PowerA GameCube Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch adheres pretty faithfully to the shape and style of the original GameCube controller. This is, without a doubt, the biggest reason to buy it. If you want to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with that Melee feel, this is a great option.

However, this is still a pale imitation of the original GameCube controller. Additionally, it's missing so many features as compared to the Nintendo Switch Pro controller that we would never recommend as your "all-around" input device.
