I was wondering if anyone knew where I could buy a first party Gamecube controller in Korea?

I went to Yongsan but all I could find were third party.

You can try ordering from play-asia.com. They carry a wide range of colors (though I'm not sure if the weird colors are still manufactured or not), everything except for white is out of stock. Not sure if they ship to Korea either, but here's a link:

do you mean in quality, or the terms themselves?

i think a lot of 3rd party controllers have weird designs that make use uncomfortable, button stiffness that are different, etc.

Uhh isn't it the difference between ones distrubuted under the name of Nintendo and those made by other manufacturers and distributed under their name?

I've always stuck with first party ones, the others are often complete shit...

Yeah it's why i now have 8 controllers 4 I've had since i bought my gamecube + 1 broken one and 4 in package just in case.
"Nintendo is facing a ban on sales of the Wavebird, Classic Controller, and Nintendo GameCube controller for its Wii and GameCube systems after it lost a bid to overturn a $21 million patent-infringement verdict."-22 July 2008

Not that matters much Nintendo ended making the wavebird version of gc controllers at the kick of 2008. Although i guess they still would the wii white ones in japan still readily in stock.

The feeling of the buttons and control sticks. Third party is fine for most games but I play competitive Smash Melee so third party quirks really annoy me.

I'm trying not to buy online if at all possible... I thought the ban was only US?
