I have a question...

[Mccdbz5]

For some time now, I've been trying to purchase a brand new Gamecube controller. I want to get a controller to open brand new on the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Now, when I went and looked for a new controller, I noticed that all of them are colored platinum. I've actually been looking for one of the original black controllers. Then, when I tried looking on the internet, all I could find were knock-off controllers of the original (same model, but not made by Nintendo). I'm not sure if the knock-off controllers work any good, but from past experience, I've come to believe that knock-off controllers don't last as long. Now, with all that said and done, I ask a question; is there any possible way that I can get a brand new black Gamecube controller? Are there any stores or websites that still sell them?

Knock Off controllers are usually lighter, but the last less or so as a original.

As for the Stores that sell them, there are lots, But, why do you want a Black Controller for a White Wii ? (Black & White= :/)

going with one of the first-party ones is always a good idea, if you really want a black one then there is a ton of resources on how to paint gamecube controllers on this very site

Any controller that isn't wireless will work on the Nintendo Wii. Now, don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure it's true that since most of the wireless ones are non-Nintendo products!

Could you name some of these stores you're talking about? It would be very convenient if a game store happened to still sell one of the original Nintendo brand controllers in black.

Would you mind providing me with a direct link?

Black and white Wii, how Feng Shui.

hmmm... thats odd, mccdbz5... i just bought a new black GC controller at my local gamestop about 2 months ago... maybe they ran out since then...? i have no idea...

You might want to wait until Brawl is closer to coming out before buying the controller, in case they make some new ones as part of a promotion.

I tried to get a new controller at Gamestop last week, and the only ones they had were gamestop brand ones. And at my Kmart they didn't have any Gamecube controllers at all.
