The Smash Bros. GameCube controller has a big ol’ long cord

Fill in the blank: “Controller? ______”

Look, we know the reason that you keep coming back to Destructoid is for the hot updates on controller cord length. We’re reasonable people here (except Jordan, he insists that Hamza refer to him as “King Xerxes”), so we’ll give the people what they want.

Go Nintendo’s released a video comparing the Smash Bros. GameCube controller for Wii U to the original GameCube controller. Side by side, it’s pretty obvious that the new one has a significantly longer cord. No more cross-legged sitting on the floor, necked craned upward at the television! Unless you want to, of course.
