The BattlerGC Pro might be the GameCube controller’s final form

Retro Fighters’ BattlerGC is for the modern Smash player.

This new BattlerGC Pro controller looks like it could be the ultimate GameCube gamepad — one with drift-resistant Hall effect joysticks, hybrid analog / digital triggers, programmable back buttons, a rechargeable battery with a USB-C port, and the ability to use it across different consoles and systems thanks to Bluetooth support. Most fans have official GameCube controllers and either use adapters or Bluetooth converters to play Smash Bros. games on Nintendo consoles. For those who prefer transparent shells over the classic indigo color, Retro Fighters has a special limited-edition crystal version of the controller — of which only 2,000 will be made available.
