This Gamecube-like wireless controller for Nintendo Switch is on sale as low as $25

PowerA's officially licensed Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch was designed to look like the classic GameCube controller while featuring a few welcome improvements. It's perfect to use for games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and today you can snag one for just $28.89 at Amazon. That saves you over $20 off its regular price of $50 and is the best price it's ever reached there. Only the Purple model of the controller is priced that low currently, though you can find slight discounts on other versions as well, like this Grey model for $43.58.

You can save even further by picking up this controller at Target. A 15% discount will be automatically applied at checkout there to bring its price down to $24.58 while supplies last.

Featuring motion controls and system buttons for the Nintendo Switch, you don't miss much by choosing to play with this controller rather than the standard Joy-Con controllers or the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. However, it does need to be powered up with two AA batteries rather than charged like those previously mentioned. If you don't already own a rechargeable AA battery pack, this would be the time to add one to your cart. Two batteries can last for about 30 hours of gameplay. PowerA also includes a two-year warranty with its purchase.
