Man I pray you get big as a tech/gaming youtuber. I really like the vibes you bring.
Incredibly kind, thank you so much mate 🙏 So appreciate the support for a smaller channel 😊
Only a matter of time my guy!
Yup, just subbed.
I just found this channel recently, and I have to say, I've fallen in complete love with it!
The way you make your videos and just the energy you have on camera is very charming and wholesome, and it's really welcoming!
You've gained a new sub and a new fan! Keep up the great work :D
Ah dude this was just a lovely comment to get 🥲 Thank you SO much. Im so glad you're enjoying the videos, honestly makes my day 😄 Thank you for taking the time to put the positive energy out there 🙏 Hope you're having an awesome day mate
I'm not even interested in GameCube like Joy-Cons, but I enjoy your narration and editing so much.
Sooooo kind my man 🙏 Thank you. So glad you're enjoying the videos!
I've been eating up the preview/reviews for these, and yours feels the most informative and balanced. Thanks very much!
Thank you so much dude! So glad you found it helpful 😄
Absolutely love your channel, you've got a really chill vibe that I can get on with. Much inspiration for me to jump back onto youtube. Keep it up dude!
You're so chill and pleasant! Great video! I got these joycons too, I was lucky to get a pre-order in January and they arrived a few weeks ago. I love how big and chonky they are, they're comfortable to hold, the buttons I think are great, and if I ever get burgled, I can beat the burglar into submission with my switch and these joycons!
Thank you man! That’s so kind to say 😊 Yeah they’re so nice right? Way more comfy than the joycons. Been re-playing breath of the wild with em and it’s been such a blast
First video I've seen of your channel. Really liked the vibe you bring while doing an honest review. Made me watch the whole video without any skipping, which for me is a really good compliment haha. keep it up, I think you will get known really quickly👌🏽
Hall effects joysticks don't develop joystick drift because they use magnetic sensors and their tracking is accomplished using a magnetic field, there's nothing to wear out with use. The funny part is in the old days, there were various experimentations with joystick types. The N64 used an optical sensor for its joystick. The part of the N64 joystick that wore out wasn't the sensor, but rather the apparatus that suspended the joystick to the case. The magnetic and optical sensors were more expensive which is why it stopped being used. It's nice to see a resurgence of the old sensors again.
This is a wonderful review! I ordered this controller over a month ago and it's finally shipped just the other day. Looking forward to trying it out!
Thank you! Lemme know how you find it!
Mines almost here n im so EXCITED ❤
Cool New Video. When i saw the video from the guy who made the joycons by himself i thought they werent availeble for the public but nice to See that now everyone can have gamecube joycons ^^
Thanks for coming back my man! 😄
@@mike.barnes :3
Fantastic vid Mike! I love your honesty! Keep it up :))
Thank you dude! So appreciate the kind comment 😄 I hope you're having a great day
Love the video! Your screenshot got me excited that WindWaker was coming to switch :(
Didn't realize you had less than 100K subs! Good luck! You have a very personable vibe and great info. You'll hit it big!
Thank you so much dude! Incredibly kind to say 😊
Damn you got one! I heard these were selling out fast lol, glad you got one! Though i got a switch lite so i dont need this but im glad a drift less joycon is finally here lol
Yeah man I was so lucky! I missed the first batch but just had to get on the second. Totally! I've always been lucky to not have drift develop on my switch but I know it's a BIG problem for a lot of people
Informative, well paced, smart, and silly. What more do you need people?
More cow bell?
If you've still got a GameCube controller lying around, try pressing those face buttons in comparison to The face buttons on these joy cons. It sounds like they're just trying to emulate the feel of the original gamecube face buttons. (A huge plus for me for literally the exact reason you mentioned, it makes games feel more relaxed.
As an aside, I know the steamdeck is a little finecky with connecting with joycons as two separate controllers, have you tried pairing this controller to the steamdeck? Is it smart enough to recognize it as one controller?
I really wanted to do this! I just couldn't for the life of me find my old gamecube, I have a feeling it was given away at some point. If I can track one down I'll make a short for you comparing the two though.
I haven't tried this yet, but great idea. If I get time in the week i'll try it for ya. But from what i've seen its pretty easy to connect it to a pc so should be straight forward for the steam deck as well?
Don't know If u ever found ur answer. But I have a steamdeck and this controller. It paired fine and worked fine too. Worked with EmuDeck/gaming mode and played a little twilight princess with them. I'm loving it
Hey Mike! First of all, fantastic video, your editing and camera presence are phenomenal and you truly seem like a swell guy! I'd like to respond to your Competitive Smash question and your Turbo questions.
As an avid Smash player, I play with GC controller, and, when I tried using this controller, it just wasn't it. I would never pick this over a normal GC controller. However, for handheld Smash like Classic mode or whatever it is SO much better than normal Joy Cons, though, that can be said about most games honestly, these are just so much more comfy.
For your Turbo question, honestly not a whole ton. Some games may have AFK strats for farming as long as A is being mashed. For example, there is an AFK money strat in Pokemon SV where you just spam the same attack over and over again and, as long as A is Turbo, you'll continuously do this until you manually stop it. There's also a shiny Pokemon hunt in Pokemon SwSh for the Fossil Pokemon. If you look up AFK shiny fossil hunt SwSh you should be able to find what I'm talking about. Other than that, just maybe silly little things or cheating at Mario Party mashing games. The other night I was playing co op Kirby with the gf and I was mapping turbo to the down button so I could rapidly crouch and it was just silly.
Great video again, wish you well and keep up the great content! :)
Hey man! How’s your day going? Thank you so much for such kind words about the channel, I really appreciate it and I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos 😄
And thank you for such a clear answer to some of questions I had in the video! That makes way more sense now. And I’m certain it’ll be really helpful to any watchers too! Thank you! Have a great day my man 😄
Great review and montage ngl ur pretty underrated
Thank you my man! 😄
I was the same, 7 years old on my birthday opening the N64….. life was complete
The industry norm it seems like is clicky linear-style for less used buttons (start/select/home) like a mechanical keyboard, and rubber conductive membrane or dome-style for regular use buttons (A/B/DPAD). I'm actually surprised they went with clicky for the shoulder trigger buttons and would probably drive me nuts. If I could get a completely silent gamepad or joy-cons that'd make me a happy lad.
Great editing and content, and I like that you include your equipment in the description. I've been debating an OLED upgrade and was curious to see you are sticking with the original, as well. Any thoughts on the OLED Switch or your reason for not upgrading? Have you tried it out? I suppose a lot of people figure a new console will be launching soon, anyway, so it might not be worth it. But I've gotten really curious because almost every review I've watched of the OLED says it's a truly substantial difference, which I find hard to believe from a ~1 inch bigger screen. Maybe I'm wrong.
If you love playing on your switch and can upgrade for cheap, definitely do it well worth it
Looks interesting Mike. Excellent channel by the way. 10k by the end of the week 🙂
Thank you Chris! Wheeeeyyy let's try and hit that 10k ehy! 🤞
I'm waiting on the second batch, so naturally I'm binge watching reviews of the controller on CZcams 😅
Love these things, as a old Gamecube owner with huge hands PERFECT! 👌🏾 I play handheld as much as do docked. Perfect for competitive smash & Mario Kart not to mention anything "old Nintendo"
heard about these from Castle Super Beast a week or two ago and immediately pre-ordered their next drop, can't wait until it comes in. The Gamecube was goat and its controller design is masterful. A bit disappointed to hear the buttons are a bit squishy, but not a dealbreaker.
Honestly man it's such a sick thing to own. I think you'll really like it. Lemme know what you think of it when you get it!
I remember playing Star Fox Adventures on GAmeCube and there was a thing where you had to show strength by pressing the A button really fast and I could never do it… turbo made it super easy
Guy was 7 years old when the GameCube came out.
Made me feel old as hell.
I was probably 7 when the Super Nintendo came out….no actually the Nintendo 64.
LOL HALL EFFECT. Funny man
Hey Mike! Great video. I preordered this controller a few weeks ago and should be receiving it at the end of this month. Thank you for your honest opinions and I will bear in mind the face button activation points. I definitely prefer my buttons to be more clicky, but I can understand that the original style was a but more squishy. Does the middle attachment have a charger on it or does each joycon charge separately?
Each charges separately
i really wish this came out earlier, i would of bought one of these but i dont use my switch anymore after getting my steam deck
Saaaame. I honestly have no idea why it took so long for a company to do this. Can you imagine how much Nintendo would have made if they brought out an official version? 🤯
button clicking ASMR made me sub. jk, great content!
i saw shank mods video when he made is own game cube joy cons it was great GJ in my book
Went to sub and i already am!!! I need a controller thats big enough and has enough grip for my hands. Ive tried the hori split pad pro and its still too thin, would you say that this controller is bigger?
Thank you so much man! I haven't tried the hori split pads but I would say they are a similar size
NYXI went for a asmr feeling.
do the triggers work the same as the original
After almost _two months_ of waiting, mine is out for delivery today. Been dreaming of having this since *Shank* brilliantly made his own.
How is everyone getting theirs? I’m still waiting for mine. I pre-ordered mine back in January.
Same
Does this work with the oled one
If you play animal crossing you will quite fast understand why turbo is very nice to have 😅 I do it alot and is waiting for this to be delivered for the moment :)
Hopefully windwaker releases on the switch i loved playing the versions on gamecube and the remake on wii u
Tooootally! It was the soul reason I bought a wii u
Turbo buttons could be used for glitches
Turbo is used for shinyhunting or spamming through long dialogue or cheating at buttonmashing mingames
OF COURSE, I never thought about shiny hunting. That must be a game changer. Thank you for pointing that out
I wish the triggers were more accurate to the GameCube. It still looks nice it's my only complaint just looking at it.
They're made for the Switch which has no games made for analog controls - not even for re-releases of games originally made for Gamecube (Mario Sunshine was remade as digital). Analog triggers for games that are all digital would be pointless.
Honestly I wouldn't recommend this for competitive smash, I'm nowhere near pro level but as a casual high skill player nothing will ever beat either the new gc controller or the PowerA wireless controller. They are not bad but I still felt like I was limited with the "fluidity" of the controller if that makes sense.
Dang got me excited that wind waker was on switch lol
Yes it does, just not the legal way tho
Hahahaha sorry my man. I still can't understand why its not, wind waker HD ported from wii u would bring in SO much money for nintendo.
How's the comfort holding one in each hand, using it split?
Great point! Not very good 😂😂😂 because they’re abit bigger it’s hard to properly wrap your hand around them individually if you get me?
@@mike.barnes Yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the reply 🙏
@@InklanUtterfield It’s really just going to depend on different people’s hand size, tbh. My pair just arrived today and I find using them split to be really comfortable. Way better than using the regular Joy-Cons split. Those really hurt my hands.
Oh, I see you have a ps5. Do tell your experience and favourite games for it 🙏
Yeah man! Although I've only played elden ring on it over the last year. But would love to make a video on some of my favourite games for it!
I got mine, too, but noticed that sometimes the A button sometimes gets stuck for like a fraction of a second. Kinda bothering me now that I noticed...
Oh really?? That suuuucks. Maybe see if you can get a replacement? Maybe faulty?
@@mike.barnes It is just a split second and I mainly recognize it when it comes back up since it makes a louder noise. I believe it happens when I don't push the button perfectly in the middle or I must be pushing it slightly upwards, too, so it gets stuck under the shell. Probalby not worth shipping it back to China and to wait for the next drop. Just thought I make people aware of it and maybe find others with that issue.
I'm surprised Nyxi wasn't hit with a Nintendo lawsuit
How’s the controller holding up?
I’m also glad you give this super smash bro test.
The one thing nobody seems to mention in these video reviews of this controller is that you can't hold a weapon behind you in MarioKart by not letting go of the ZL trigger. Why this controller can't seem to do this I have no idea but as major flaws go this is one of them. GC controller has stood the test of time and is great, so great that not only on Smash Bros but on MarioKart it has served as the ultimate pad for competitive Smash and MK gamers on the Wii and Wii U, yet this hasn't been addressed! I have just bought this pad and it's the first thing I discovered, just a bit disappointed. Other than that it's a beautiful looking pad and does the job for most games, sadly nothing to write home about
I would check that because in this video below this reviewer is playing MK8 using this controller and he's holding a green shell behind him...

@@danny_harry thank you mate I will have to look into this! Maybe a case of mapping buttons but if it's working for this guy I should have nothing to complain about lol
@@jordanthompson857 No worries man. Hope you get it sorted ✌🏻
The handles are too small to use comfortably when on the switch.
The link in the description is broken
Ah shizzzz! Thank you for pointing that out, should be fixed now
Can’t stop thinking about the big issues people who smash controllers have. That’s not normal.
Specially when oficial GameCube controllers aren’t easy to buy.
for those waiting for the nyxi controllers to get back in stock, I would highly recommend the MOBAPAD as being good replacements
No d-pad review :(
I used the D-pad to play Tetris 99 with no issues.
I think I like shank mods GameCube joy cons better
Shame he can't make us some ehy? 😂
@@mike.barnes indeed.
Excuse me.....is wind waker on switch, or is this click bate?
You don’t need expensive joy cons, you need an oled
I agree 🥲
The C-stick is way too big
Well I can't wait for Nintendo to release their official version for these. Not interested in a third party version.
Worst gc controller for smash bros dont buy this shit, i bought 2 of these cause they looked promising.
They snap back like there is no tomorrow and god forbid if you accidentally press one of 4 useless turbo and setting buttons mid game play your match is screwed. Dont worry, with 4 of them you cant miss them.
They feel very awkward and the sticks are way too sensitive and finicky. Maybe you wont get joystick drift with these but you're gonna pay 100$ for controllers that feel and plays like the 20$ cheap ones.
This look very uncomfortable and ugly on the switch. I would throw them away if I got it for free.
just like your mother did with you when you was born
just pre ordered mine
