GameCube controller

It has been suggested that this article should be moved to GameCube controller. The reason given for the move is: The article's text doesn't have it capital, nor does the template. The other controller articles don't have it capital except Classic Controller, which appears to be a proper noun. (Discuss)

The Nintendo GameCube controller is the controller for the Nintendo GameCube. It is somewhat in the vein of the Nintendo 64 controller, but it lacks the middle grip.

The GameCube controller is used to play Super Smash Bros. Melee on the GameCube. The Wii is also compatible with the GameCube controller, meaning that Super Smash Bros. Brawl can be played using a GameCube controller, and the Virtual Console release of Super Smash Bros. can also be played using the GameCube controller. Certain third-party GameCube controllers are not recognized by Brawl.

The upcoming Nintendo Wii U system is not compatible with the GameCube controller, meaning Super Smash Bros. 4 will not utilise the GameCube controller without the usage of a third party device.

The GameCube is the most commonly used controller in competitive Smash, usually being used over the other options for SSB and Brawl, for not only being the same as the Melee controller but for being wired (unlike all Wiimote possibilities) and having an effective layout.
