Furthermore, the general fact that other alternatives are available naturally began putting a dent in its popularity, namely the [[Pro Controller]] variety introduced during the time of the [[Wii]], which players began using in favor of the Nintendo GameCube controller due to their more favorable layout and better quality build. This, however, did not have a noticeable impact on the controller's popularity until ''SSB4'' and especially ''Ultimate'', as the Wii U and Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers are naturally compatible with their respective hardware, thus granting them more ease of access, whereas the Nintendo GameCube controller requires a specific adapter to use. As such, while still one of the most popular controllers at high-level play, many players also began preferring the use of other available alternatives in games after ''Melee'' to the point of the Nintendo GameCube controller generally no longer being considered the definitive gold standard in competitive play. | Furthermore, the general fact that other alternatives are available naturally began putting a dent in its popularity, namely the [[Pro Controller]] variety introduced during the time of the [[Wii]], which players began using in favor of the Nintendo GameCube controller due to their more favorable layout and better quality build.

It's USB connector has also caused many to prefer it over the original controller in terms of usage on other devices like a PC, as it can be connected directly to a device without an adapter to decrease input lag. However, its exclusivity to both the Nintendo Switch 2 and active Nintendo Switch Online subscribers makes this controller a rarity in tournaments for the time being. | ||
