The button responses are fast, and the battery life (no rough average appears to have been given) lasts for a lot longer than you would think.


Living up to its reputation of being one of the greatest gaming controllers of all time, this controller feels nice and handles well. As for the controller itself, it handles rather well. The design appears to be a hybrid of the Nintendo GameCube controller and a PlayStation (1,2,3 and 4) controller, where the layout of the buttons is of the Nintendo GameCube, but with the extra two buttons and the handles more spread out like a PlayStation controller. Hyperkin still hasn’t announced when (or even if) it will put the ProCube into production, but that seems more likely after all the positivity following Evo.For what it's worth, this is a good controller. “Since they are digital, not analog, they feel as if they get a more immediate response then the original GameCube controller.” “The one thing that stood out to all survey takers was the bumpers and triggers,” said Gallizzi. for Wii U, which is the only game the Wii U adapter supports.Īnd even though Nintendo has established the GameCube controller as the best device for playing Smash, some players (maybe not the pros) might even end up preferring what Hyperkin has done thanks to the improvements it has made. That means you can play releases like The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Super Mario World 3D, and Pikmin 3 in addition to Super Smash Bros. Unlike Nintendo’s GameCube-controller solution, which enables you to connect the older controller to the Wii U with an adapter, Hyperkin’s ProCube works with any Wii U game that features Pro Controller support. “ commented on how they love the fact that it will work on all pro-controller supported games,” said Gallizzi. These include changing the way the shoulder buttons operate and adding some extra buttons. You get the big green A button and little red B button along with the kidney-shaped X and Y. But Hyperkin has made a few changes to it that many fans of the original gamepad might welcome. The ProCube is a wireless controller for the Wii U, but it has the button layout like a GameCube pad. “Every single person loved how comfortable the controller is.” “The results are very positive,” Hyperkin product manager Chris Gallizzi told GamesBeat.
