There are a ton of fantastic Switch controllers, especially if you're looking for a GameCube-style one to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with. If that sounds like something you're interested in, then you'll be happy to hear that one of the best Nintendo Switch controllers out there is on sale at Amazon right now. Right now, you can snag PowerA's wireless GameCube-style controller for $37.49, down from its regular price of $50.

PowerA's GameCube-style controller is quite similar to the original it's based on, but there are a few key differences. Firstly, it has a significantly larger D-Pad, which makes 2D platformers a lot more enjoyable to play. It also features an extra shoulder button to emulate the Switch's L button, making it a controller that can handle more than just GameCube-friendly titles--it works great with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. The wireless version of PowerA's controller can even wake up the Switch from Sleep mode.

In addition to the GameCube-style controllers, PowerA's Enhanced wireless controllers for Nintendo Switch are also discounted. You can find many of them at the same price, too, including the Pokemon Sword / Shield starters, various Poke Balls, and more.

If you're looking for more controller recommendations, then I suggest PDP's Wired Fight Pad Pro. It's another GameCube-style controller with even more modern niceties. It features larger ergonomics, making it the most comfortable of its kind, as well as an interchangeable right analog stick. Unfortunately, there is no wireless version. The PDP Fight Pad Pro is $25 on Amazon.
