I just ordered mine. I asked them if they can ship it to me sooner so I can do a showcase/mod video on it installing it in a old broken wavebird. Hope they get back to me 😆
It's funny how we pronounce the "do" in 8BitDo and Nintendo differently. I'm going to start pronouncing Nintendo like "Nintendo" at my local independent games store and see how long it is until I get banished.
I have the kit and receiver, feel free to ask me any questions. The receiver currently has issues with certain game titles like Luigi's Mansion and Super Smash Bros, and a firmware update is definitely needed before it's viable, FYI.
@@ToddTronics What I've discovered so far: The R trigger doesn't work/register in Luigi's Mansion, the left analog stick does weird "snap to the bottom of the screen" things in SSB, and the left analog stick is a bit too sensitive for Mario Kart DD and it makes it almost impossible to drift. I've also noticed that the receiver currently doesn't talk correctly to GNC controller adapters for Switch or Wii U and gives random, incorrect inputs at weird times. When the controller is bluetoothed directly to Switch, though, it works perfectly fine. All signs are pointing to the adapter needing an update, so far.
I pre ordered just the mod kit for a broken black controller I got for free after and ebay seller sent me a broken black one instead of a working one. Stoked to turn it into a wireless one for smash on the switch. Depending on how much I like it, I might swap it into my white controller. Can't wait for it to show up!
@@nickwood7472 if the receiver is 2.4gz it would be less than your standard Xbox controller so I think it would be fine I also play my GameCube on a crt so there’s also that factor lol
I have the receiver and kit, I notice no input lag with the receiver whatsoever, however it's currently wonky with certain game titles (Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart DD, and a couple others), and the receiver clearly needs a firmware update before it's viable
This is a great invention for Gamecube fans. Going full wireless is something I've wanted for years
@@fireboltthunder2360 yes !!! Everyone knows the GameCube controller is the goat of retro systems

I swear, no one is talking about this thing, thanks for the vid. I've pre-ordered mine get it on the 1st.
@@TheDecoyPlatypus thanks man ! I’m new to RUclips so I’m just making videos on things I like to improve my video quality thanks for watching

This took me by surprise too, a nice one tho
@@Mario_MartinezF I am so happy for the future of gaming with things like this happening
@@ToddTronics I really hope they do the same for og xbox, PS2 and all retro stuff, 8bitdo don't miss

Keeeeen, I just hope latency isn't too big of an issue with the receiver😅

Anyone know if I can throw this board on 3rd party Gamecube controllers?
@@rcc_96 I think as long as the pcb fits it would work but I’m not 100%
