Battler GC vs. Blade GC - Differences?

The BattlerGC and the BladeGC are identical in almost every way, except for the location of the analog stick and the D-Pad. If Smash Brothers is your thing, you'll love the placement of the analog stick located at the top-left of the BattlerGC.

If you like to play GameBoy games, you may prefer the larger D-pad on the BladeGC.

Or, better yet, why choose? Get 'em both!

    Modern Twist on a classic!

    Posted by Sean Simpson on Apr 10th 2023

    Love this controller. Wavebird Controllers are getting harder to find in good condition, this is a great option. The Battler takes what worked with the Wavebird and GameCube controller and puts it in a style controller for a great price.

    Upgrading the Wavebird

    Posted by Tairon Said Batista Leite on Mar 10th 2023

    The BattlerGc fits a comfortable design, with good grip and practically zero input lag. For years, I’ve been using the wavebird, but it started to show problems with the receptor. With this new controller, I could be free of wires and, besides the cube, I could use it on my Nintendo Switch.
    That’s the perfect combination of old times and new generation consoles.
    The battery has a good duration too, about 10 hours of playing.
    Hope you guys enjoy this hardware!

    No longer confined to the cube

    Overall a great alternative to both OEM wired and wireless (Wavebird) options. I haven`t noticed any lag in the time I`ve used it, and love that I was able to select a color that matches my GameCube Console. I`ve always been happy with Retro Fighters controllers, and this one doesn`t disappoint.

    It`s the best wireless option outside of BlueRetro

    Posted by SuperKlyph on Feb 2nd 2023

    Right out of the gate, it clearly feels like a third party controller. It`s nice but it does feel cheaper in the hands than a Nintendo controller - which it is. The weight is fine and the shape is good, but the buttons have a little too much travel, they`re harder to press than a GC controller, and they are very loud. The triggers do not have a click, but they are analog. They are significantly harder to press than a Nintendo-branded controller. The analog sticks work well, but they are stiffer than Nintendo GC controllers and generally have an intangible ``3rd party`` feel to them.

    It`s worth noting that the fact that it`s slightly harder to press the buttons than on a Nintendo GC controller means that it`s significantly harder to do double button presses when you need to, like A+B or A+Y etc. Other than that, it works perfectly on the Gamecube and I don`t perceive any lag.

    On the Switch, I don`t really recommend using this controller. It works ok and the dpad is fine, but the sticks seems to have a larger outer deadzone on the Switch than Nintendo controllers. This seems to be the norm with all Switch third party controllers.

    An honest review from an average person.

    Posted by Ryan on Jan 30th 2023

    I’m not a fancy YouTube person, and my opinion might not align with others.

    That being said, purchasing two of the BattlerGC controllers was my first experience with Stone Age Gamer.

    Shipping was fast, packaging was great, I received my package on time with no problems at all.

    I purchased the controllers for my GameCube. I wanted to get a pair of WaiveBirds, however, the price for two of them is what led me to my decision to go with the BattlerGC’s.

    My initial thought of the controllers was “wow”, they look and feel great. They remind me a lot of the Switch PRO controllers. Lightweight and buttons and triggers feel very nice.

    Setup was very simple, I was gaming in just a few seconds. I didn’t experience any latency and the charge time to dead battery time was surprisingly long. I’m not an average size guy (6’3 270lbs), I was worried that the controller wouldn’t fix it my hands. That thought went out the window rather quickly.

    Enough rambling on. If you’re looking for a great controller at a very reasonable price without lacking quality, look no further.

    Hope you enjoy,

    Ryan.
