The best part is the D-pad. While it still might not feel as good as other controller D-pads, the almost rusty red painted across it looks so, so good. One of the most coveted Gamecube controllers and an apple in the eye of Super Smash. Bros. Melee players everywhere, the Char Aznable Gamecube controller wins in simplicity. All it truly boasts is a fresh coat of paint and the emblem in the center. This one came with a similarly themed console, as well as a separate Wavebird model for those who preferred wireless controllers. The Wii U was home to many games that deserved far more commercial success to match their critical success. It was also home to one of the nicest limited edition controllers Nintendo ever created. Gold replaces the white normally found on the face buttons. That, along with the Hylian runes across the edges of the controller make an excellent highlight. The best part is the gold around the D-pad and face buttons. This sort of accent work is underused and seeing more controllers frame surfaces like this would be rad. A more daring designer would have gone a step farther and recolored the face buttons, which currently don't fit the rest of this controller's aesthetic at all.
