How can you tell the difference between an official Nintendo Gamecube controller, and a third party brand?
I have noticed that official Nintendo Gamecube controllers have the words "Nintendo Gamecube" written above the start button in gray writing. Is this method of comparison certain to work, or are there exceptions?

Nintendo brands are guartanteed to work, off brands not so much. Look for the nintendo logo ingraved on the back of the controller by ther serial number….that’s how you can tell the difference between real and fake.
It’s guarantee to work and meets Nintendo’s standards if it has a Nintendo seal on it.
Third party controllers always seem to not work properly with all games.
And if they are too cheap, they’ll prematurely brake.
The best way is to look at a genuine gamecube controller, and compare them. Colors can be a giveaway, and shape. look for the nintendo logo to tell.
