confirmed. Sending supplies.
For those of you who still want to buy a GCN controller for Brawl but can't find one, read this:

Nintendo's going to start selling white GCN controllers (white to match the Wii) in Japan soon. Chances are, we'll see this go international (if not, you could just import it). No word on a Wavebird version yet.

Wavebirds are already white. XD

Looks good though I might get it only if it comes out here.

Cord length is nice, but I don't think I would buy a new GCN wired controller just because its white. Call me when they make a wavebird version.

Kinda but not much as a difference as purple/black/(insert other color schemes released.) But I'd like to see it too.

<3Beautiful.

I had bought a White controller before but it was 3rd party and sucked ***, and I was disappointed cause it was so beautiful ;~;

Can't wait.

I don't know what it is, but the only controller I have that works perfectly is the one that came with my system. I've bought a wired madcats, it didn't even show up as a controller plugged in. I bought a wireless madcats, the stick snapped of the spring after a week. I bought a first party orange nintendo-made one (used), the c-stick always reads as pointing up, even when it's in neutral (and yes, I have made sure it was in neutral when I turned the GCN on.). I'm looking forward to another wireless eries, hopefully that'll be announced next. I may have to retire "trusty silver".

It really is fitting for Wii/VC games that let you use the GCN controller, and it looks great. I've needed a new Gamecube controller as well, so I hope that I don't have to import it. Makes me wonder what happened to the Wii coming in more colors than white though.

It looks real snazzy. I'll probably get a few for when my friends come over. And because my other controllers are definitely showing signs of use. >_>

That's pretty convenient since I've been needing a new controller for a month or two now.

I might buy one.. since I only have 3 GCN controllers at the moment. But I bought a Teal one before Brawl was released. Mixed thoughts.

I'll probably end up buying one or two of these. I've gone through a very large number of third party GC controllers over the years. All of them break far, far too quickly in one way or another. Only first party controllers seem to have the slightest resilience, but they're difficult to find in stores, commonly. I thought Nintendo said it would continue production of GCN controllers since they're functional with certain Wii games, but it hardly seems like it, since new GC controllers are hard to find. Maybe I made that up, or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.

Or maybe, I guess, this is the eventual realization of that claim. In any case, I'm sick of living off crappy third party controllers, my roommate's original GC controller that came with his system that has the C-Stick inputting up by default, and the 2 borrowed GC controllers from my friend that have the rubber on the joystick chewed off by his brother when he was teething several years ago.

A new batch of first party controllers is definitely going to be a purchase in the near future for me.

I'm getting this.

My newest controller's A button keeps getting jammed. (Suprisingly, I'm using the first one I ever got, and it works the best.) So I'll replace it with that nice one.

Meh, silver is better. White is all "ohhh, what am I." Black is all "ohhh, I'm dirty." Purple is all "ohhh, I'm gay." Teal is all "ohhh, I'm odd." Orange is all "ohhh, I'm odder." Silver is "I'm sexy *****."

I'm buying 2-3. 1-2 for practice, 1 for tourneys. This will be a sexy replacement for my Silver one.

The white is going to be WAY overused now though. Silver was the original *****. White will never replace it! NEVAAAAAAR!

*gets slapped*

Ow, yeah... meh, I've got a brand new silver one, so it's more amazing than the others XD

Silver is overused. Lost is flare. Same with my Pink Xbox360 Controller, it isn't as appealing as it used to be.
Ha, my friends were going to buy me a pink 360 controller as a gift. I told them that I'd rather buy myself a black one.

White is sexier than Silver. Reference > iPods.

Lol at those of you going "white is beautiful" and "****in sexy."

Racists. Why can't the black controller be those things?

Nice to see how racist Smashboards is.
