Check out this Nintendo Switch controller cosplaying as a Gamecube pad. This colorful controller is the work of Boss Fight Props, who normally makes cosplay gear, and it really does look much cooler with a Gamecube theme.
Check out those color-coded buttons. It’s beautiful. You probably think that these images are renders. I thought so too, but nope. This thing is the real deal. I suppose the left stick should be grey, and the right stick should be yellow just for accuracy, but I would buy it as is.
This looks so much better than the stock grey controller. Nintendo really needs to market this in the future and maybe offer us an old school NES-themed Switch controller as well.
Following years of pining after GameCube games on the Virtual Console, it looks like Nintendo fans will soon be getting their wish. According to a recent report by Eurogamer, the Nintendo Switch is rumored to be the first Nintendo console to offer Ga...
The open-source Dolphin emulator has been able to run nearly every GameCube title since 2009, but one title has stumped it -- Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It turns out that the 14-year-old game used some pretty clever, tricky-to-implement memory tricks...
A few years ago, we saw a coffee table that looked like the N64 logo. Redditor Edgemeredrive made a furniture based on Nintendo’s other illusive logo.
The cube measures 35″x 35″, or nearly 3ft. on each side. Edgemeredrive decided to make it as two large pieces so it’s easier to transport. Edgemeredrive made the smaller cube hollow because he wants to put his GameCube inside it and then place a TV on top of the cube. The rest of the shelf holds about 180 games.
If I had this I’d leave it empty; it looks so beautiful that way. I wonder if Edgemeredrive can come up with all-black covers for the shelves to retain the illusion.
Despite its unorthodox shape and button layout, the GameCube controller has earned a cult following, especially among Smash Bros. fans. Gaming peripheral makers such as Horii and PDP have released Wii U controllers that mimic the GameCube, but those are wired and need to be plugged into a Wii Remote. That’s why Hyperkin came up with the ProCube.
The ProCube is a combination of the GameCube controller and the Wii U Pro Controller. It has that unique layout but it’s also wireless, has Home, + and – buttons, and it works with all games that support the Pro Controller.
Using an Arduino Nano, dekuNukem made a detachable adapter that takes input from a GameCube controller and translates the input for the 3DS.
He hooks up an LCD display from an old phone when he wants to adjust the button mapping.
Here’s dekuNukem testing the adapter on his 3DS:
It may not look like much, but it’s got it where it counts. Check out dekuNukem’s Imgur album for more on his hack. He said he’ll upload a more detailed guide soon, and he’s also accepting a limited number of orders for the adapter. You can contact him on YouTube or through dekuNukem@gmail.com.
The Atari Lynx was the first handheld video game system to feature a full color display, but it still lost to the Game Boy because Nintendo’s handheld was cheaper, smaller and lasted longer on fewer batteries. Bacteria forum member Akira reunited the old rivals by using an Atari Lynx II’s case to house his GameCube portable mod.
Akira calls his mod the GC Lynx. It has a 4.3″ 480×272 widescreen display and a sweet custom paint job to match the color of the GameCube. Its joysticks, buttons and triggers were taken from a Wii controller and a GameCube controller. It lasts up to three hours on its 6400mAh battery and can be used while recharging. It runs games using Wasp Fusion, which lets you load copies of GameCube games – that you own! – from an SD card. It also has a second SD card slot for homebrew games and emulators. Skip to 8:00 in the video below to see it run games.
If you don’t have the time to watch the whole video, you can admire it with these images instead.
The Atari Lynx II was already smaller than its predecessor, and yet it’s still larger than a GameCube. But hey, Akira put all that real estate to good use. Now he’s asking good money for it. Bid at least €1,000 (~$1,350 USD) or pay €1,500 (~$2,000 USD) on eBay and the GC Lynx is yours. Modders should head to the Bacteria forums to check out Akira’s build log.
You use your GameCube for playing games right? Turns out, you’re doing it wrong. You’re supposed to smoke it. Well, that’s the case with this one anyway. This modified version was seen at the Nebula Vaping Lounge in Mesa, Arizona and goes by the name the “VapeCube”.
Before you ask, no, it is not for sale. Who knows, that may change in the future if they think this is popular. If that doesn’t fill your smoking/gaming void, you can always pick up some electronic cigarettes made out of NES controllers.
I wonder how much a pack of Nintendo Entertainment Smokes (NES) costs.
